A lexicon-driven segmentation-recognition scheme on Bangla handwritten city-name recognition is proposed for Indian postal automation. In the proposed scheme, at first, binarization of the input document is done and then to take care of slanted handwriting of different individuals a slant correction technique is performed. Next, due to the script characteristics of Bangla, a water reservoir con...

While discriminant function analysis is an inherently Bayesian method, researchers attempting to estimate ancestry in human skeletal samples often follow with the calculation of frequentist-based typicalities for assigning group membership. Such approach problematic because it fails account admixture and variation why individuals may be classifijied as outliers or nonmembers particular groups. T...

The  major  aim  of  this  paper  was  to  investigate  the  validity  of  language  and intelligence  factors  for  classifying  Iranian  English  learners`  writing  performance. Iranian  participants  of  the  study  took  three  tests  for  grammar,  breadth,  and  depth  of vocabulary, and two tests for verbal and narrative intelligence. They also produced a corpus  of  argumentative  writ...

Feature extraction, discriminant analysis, and classification rule are three crucial issues for face recognition. This paper presents one method, named GaborfaceSVM, to handle three issues together. For feature extraction, we utilize the Gabor wavelet transform on grey face image to extract Gaborfaces. A Modified Enhanced Fisher Discriminant model is used to reinforce discriminant power of Gabo...

Fifty-six patients with senile dementia of Alzheimer type and 84 normal elderly people were examined by EEG and computed tomography. In discriminant function analysis of the computed tomography indexes the highest discriminant function coefficient was for width of the third ventricle. Using computed tomography, the groups were correctly classified for 84% of the subjects. In discriminant functi...

This paper describes an online handwritten English cursive word recognition method using a segmentation-free Markov random field (MRF) model in combination with an offline recognition method which uses pseudo 2D bi-moment normalization (P2DBMN) and modified quadratic discriminant function (MQDF). It extracts feature points along the pen-tip trace from pen-down to pen-up and uses the feature poi...

objectives the main aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of applying extracorporeal liver support techniques to treat this group of patients. patients and methods the data from 23 hospital admissions of 21 patients with ald who were admitted to the department of anesthesiology and intensive therapy (a⁢) at the dr wł. biegański regional specialist hospital in łódź between march 20...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the American Heart Association Stroke Outcome Classification (AHA.SOC) and compare performance of its function classification with that of the Modified Rankin Scale. METHODS The individuals in this study included the last 105 consecutive subjects who were part of a cohort of 459 stroke patients in the ...
