Much of the data which appears in the forensic and archaeological literature is ordinal or categorical. This is particularly true of the age related indicators presented by Gustafson in his method of human adult age estimation using the structural changes in human teeth. This technique is still being modified and elaborated. However, the statistical methods of regression analysis employed by Gu...

We study solutions of Ginzburg-Landau-type evolution equations (both dissipative and Hamiltonian) with initial data representing collections of widely-spaced vortices. We show that for long times, the solutions continue to describe collections of vortices, and we identify (to leading order in the vortex separation) the dynamical system describing the motion of the vortex centres (effective dyna...

We propose a type-2 based clustering algorithm to capture data points and attributes relationship embedded in fuzzy subspaces. It is a modification of Gustafson Kessel clustering algorithm through deployment of type-2 fuzzy sets for high dimensional data. The experimental results have shown that type-2 projected GK algorithm perform considerably better than the comparative techniques. General T...

T H E sea-urchin egg is characterized by a very high morphogenetic plasticity. Its trend in differentiation can in fact be controlled by means of various chemical agents. The development of the entoderm is thus favoured at the expense of that of the ectoderm by adding lithium ions to the sea-water (Herbst, 1892; Lindahl, 1936). Iodosobenzoic acid (Runnstrom & Kriszat, 1952) and thiocyanate (Her...

We prove a multivariable elliptic extension of Jackson’s summation formula conjectured by Spiridonov. The trigonometric limit case of this result is due to Gustafson and Rakha. As applications, we obtain two further multivariable elliptic Jackson summations and two multivariable elliptic Bailey transformations. The latter four results are all new even in the trigonometric case.

A new online clustering method called E2GK (Evidential Evolving Gustafson-Kessel) is introduced. This partitional clustering algorithm is based on the concept of credal partition defined in the theoretical framework of belief functions. A credal partition is derived online by applying an algorithm resulting from the adaptation of the Evolving Gustafson-Kessel (EGK) algorithm. Online partitionin...
