Integrating neuroscientific data across labs is a challenging endeavour, and extracting meaning from this data is even harder still. NeuroElectro.org collects electrophysiology, neuron type, and experimental conditions data from published articles and provides all of this data in text format for analysis. Here, we present NeuroElectro Data’s Visualization (NED Vis), an interactive visual interf...

The composition and structure of vegetation are key attributes of ecosystems, affecting their current and future carbon, water, and energy fluxes. Information on these attributes has traditionally come from ground-based inventories of the plant canopy within small sample plots. Here we show how imaging spectrometry and waveform lidar can be used to provide spatially comprehensive estimates of f...

This paper presents a theory of error in cross-validation testing of algorithms for predicting real-valued attributes. The theory justifies the claim that predicting real-valued attributes requires balancing the conflicting demands of simplicity and accuracy. Furthermore , the theory indicates precisely how these conflicting demands must be balanced, in order to minimize cross-validation error....

The experiment was planned to investigate the tractor mounted N-sensor (Make Yara International) to predict nitrogen (N) for wheat crop under different nitrogen levels. It was observed that, for tractor mounted N-sensor, spectrometers can scan about 32% of total area of crop under consideration. An algorithm was developed using a linear relationship between sensor sufficiency index (SIsensor) a...

Business users and analysts commonly use spreadsheets and 2D plots to analyze and understand their data. On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) provides these users with added flexibility in pivoting data around different attributes and drilling up and down the multi-dimensional cube of aggregations. Machine learning researchers, however, have concentrated on hypothesis spaces that are foreign to...

seismic coherency is a measure of lateral changes in acoustic impedance that are caused by variations in structure, stratigraphy, lithology, porosity, and fluid content. seismic coherency is a geometrical attribute that establishes temporal and lateral relationships with other attributes. seismic coherency can be defined by coherency attributes. when coherency attributes are applied to seismic ...

INTRODUCTION : Broad-spectrum grass pollen immunotherapies contain large numbers of allergenic proteins from multiple species. The principle of homologous grouping is used as a tool to assist in the standardization of allergen immunotherapy. This study reviews the principle of homologous grouping, questions what an exemplar grass should be, and queries whether a 1-way system of inferring homolo...

We present a visualization technique that allows a user to identify and detect patterns and structures within a multivariate data set. Our research builds on previous efforts to represent multivariate data in a two-dimensional information display through the use of icon plots. Although the icon plot work done by Pickett and Grinstein is similar to our approach, we improve on their efforts in se...
