This paper considers the problem of constructing a normatively significant multidimensional Gini index of relative inequality. The social evaluation relation (SER) from which the index is derived is required to satisfy a weak version of the Pigou-Dalton Bundle Principle (WPDBP) (rather than Uniform Majorization or similar conditions). It is also desired to satisfy a weak form of the condition o...

background: the awareness regarding the contribution of sexual self-concept to healthy sexual well-being is on a rise. the multidimensional sexual self-concept questionnaire (msscq) was developed to assess the 20 aspects related to sexual self-concept and has been widely applied in western societies. the adequacy of its application in iran has not been determined in order to guaranty its reliab...

We present in this paper the convergence properties of Jacobi spectral collocation method when used to approximate the solution of multidimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equation. The solution is sufficiently smooth while the source function and the kernel function are smooth. We choose the Jacobi-Gauss points associated with the multidimensional Jacobi weight function [Formula: see text]...

In this work we propose, for an environment where multidimensional queries are made over multiple Data Marts, techniques for providing the user with quality information about the retrieved data. This meta-information behaves as an added value over the obtained information or as an additional element to take into account during the proposition of the queries. The quality properties considered ar...

Multidimensional scaling is a technique for exploratory analysis of multidimensional data. The essential part of the technique is minimization of a function with unfavorable properties like multimodality, invariants and non-differentiability. Recently various two-level optimization algorithms for multidimensional scaling with city-block distances have been proposed exploiting piecewise quadrati...

Abstract We present TensorSignatures, an algorithm to learn mutational signatures jointly across different variant categories and their genomic localisation properties. The analysis of 2778 primary 3824 metastatic cancer genomes the PCAWG consortium HMF cohort shows that all operate dynamically in response states. pins differential spectra UV mutagenesis found active inactive chromatin global g...
