PP(top x%) is the proportion of papers of a unit (e.g. an institution or a group of researchers), which belongs to the x% most frequently cited papers in the corresponding fields and publication years. It has been proposed that x% of papers can be expected which belongs to the x% most frequently cited papers. In this Letter to the Editor we will present the results of an empirical test whether ...

We present a new algorithm called PBSIM for computing image similarity, based upon a novel method of extracting bloblike features from images. In tests on a classification task using a data set of over 1000 images, PBSIM shows significantly higher accuracy than algorithms based upon color histograms, as well as previously reported results for another approach based upon bloblike features.

1 Asymptotics of Percentile Order Statistics Let Xi (i = 1, . . . , N) be independently identically distributed (IID) continuous random variables with CDF, P (x) = P(Xi ≤ x), and PDF, p(x) = dP . Let Y (α) be the 100αth percentile, which is dx N uniquely defined by ordering the outcomes, X(1) ≤ X(2) ≤ . . . ≤ X(N) (using the standard notation of order statistics) and setting YN (α) = X([αN ]) (...

In September of 1996, United States Congress directed the National Highway Traftic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to conduct a feasibility study toward establishing a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) for frontal offset crash testing. Congress stated that these activities should reflect ongoing efforts to enhance ir ternational harmonization of safety standards. The offset c~.:.sh te...
