background: fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. by early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant. objective: here, we extract fetal ecg from maternal abdominal recordings and detect r-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. on the next step, we find a b...

spectral decomposition of time series has a significant role in seismic data processing and interpretation. since the earth acts as a low-pass filter, it changes frequency content of passing seismic waves. conventional representing methods of signals in time domain and frequency domain cannot show time and frequency information simultaneously. time-frequency transforms upgraded spectral decompo...

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is one of the most important unsupervised methods to handle high-dimensional data. However, due high computational complexity its eigen-decomposition solution, it hard apply PCA large-scale data with dimensionality, e.g., millions points variables. Meanwhile, squared L2-norm based objective makes sensitive outliers. In recent research, L1-norm maximization met...

We show how to efficiently project a vector onto the top principal components of a matrix, without explicitly computing these components. Specifically, we introduce an iterative algorithm that provably computes the projection using few calls to any black-box routine for ridge regression. By avoiding explicit principal component analysis (PCA), our algorithm is the first with no runtime dependen...

the relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water quality are yet to be ascertained and quantified. in this paper, the influence of different types of land use on surface water quality is investigated. rain events samples from different land use in the central plateau, iran, were analyzed for major ions. statistical analyses were employed to examine the statistical relati...

a procedure for an efficient recovering of reflectance spectra of acrylic paint samples from cie tristimulus color values is described. by fixing a certain criteria based on color difference value, the proposed technique preliminarily selects a series of suitable samples from a main dataset containing the reflectance values of a series of different acrylic paint samples, based on the color spec...
