Charles Rosenblatt Department of Physics Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, Ohio 44106 USA Abstract Liquid crystal research falls under the broad category of “soft materials,” and is conducted at universities, government laboratories, and in industry around the world. The field has been particularly conducive to collaborative interactions, with many national and regional liquid crystal ...

In this study we propose a bayesian approach to the estimation of the Hurst exponent in terms of linear mixed models. Even for unevenly sampled signals and signals with gaps, our method is applicable. We test our method by using artificial fractional brownian motion of different length and compare it with the detrended fluctuation analysis technique. The estimation of the Hurst exponent of a Ro...

The view of artificial neural networks as adaptive systems has lead to the development of ad-hoc generic procedures known as learning rules. The first of these is the Perceptron Rule (Rosenblatt, 1962), useful for single layer feed-forward networks and linearly separable problems. Its simplicity and beauty, and the existence of a convergence theorem made it a basic departure point in neural lea...

Introduct ion A study of readmissions is important because it is a means of assessing the degree to which current hospital practises are achieving the goals that have been set i. e., to enable a patient to maintain himself in the community in a normal manner by decreasing effects of institutionalization; to return the patient to community after hospitalization as early as possible; and thereaft...

Using multiple Wiener-Itô stochastic integrals and Malliavin calculus we study the rescaled quadratic variations of a general Hermite process of order q with long-memory (Hurst) parameter H 2 ( 1 2 ; 1). We apply our results to the construction of a strongly consistent estimator for H. It is shown that the estimator is asymptotically non-normal, and converges in the mean-square, after normaliza...

This paper investigates a number of conjectures about the relative importance of the two components of social class, wealth and human capital, through the life course. It sets out grounds for the expectation that human capital will be of more importance to social position during the earlier part of adult life, while wealth should be increasingly important during the later. The empirical part of...

A new incremental learning algorithm is described which approximates the maximal margin hyperplane w.r.t. norm p ≥ 2 for a set of linearly separable data. Our algorithm, called almap (Approximate Large Margin algorithm w.r.t. norm p), takes O ( (p−1) α2 γ2 ) corrections to separate the data with p-norm margin larger than (1 − α) γ, where γ is the (normalized) p-norm margin of the data. almap av...

In the context of optimal transport (OT) methods, subspace detour approach was recently proposed by Muzellec and Cuturi. It consists first finding an plan between measures projected on a wisely chosen then completing it in nearly whole space. The contribution this paper is to extend category methods Gromov–Wasserstein problem, which particular type OT distance involving specific geometry each d...
