Thresholds to anodal make, anodal break, cathodal make and cathodal break have been studied throughout the cardiac cycle in 13 dogs under pentobarbital anesthesia. Unipolar direct current pulses were applied through epicardial pacemaker electrodes to the left ventricle. Make and break responses were separated by letting the break and make occur in the refractory periods of the following and pre...

Abstract. Structural break is one of the important concerns in non-stationary time series prediction. The cumulative sum of square (CUSUMS) statistic proposed by Brown et al (1975) has been developed as a general method for detecting a structural break. To better understand CUSUMS, this paper analyses the relationship among the bias of the break location estimation, pre-break data size and the ...

In this paper, we present a new phrase break detection architecture that integrates proba-bilistic approach with rule-based error correction. The architecture consists of a probabilis-tic phrase break detector and a transformational rule-based post error corrector. The probabilistic method alone usually suuers from performance degradation due to inherent data sparseness problems. So we adopted ...

This paper discusses inference about the pre and post break value of a scalar parameter in GMM time series models with a single break at an unknown point in time. We show that treating the break date estimated by least squares as the true break date leads to substantially oversized tests and confidence intervals unless the break is large. We develop an alternative test that controls size unifor...
