This paper describes a new method for validating and classifying 3D junctions by combining detected intensity-based junctions and contour-based junctions. The resulting algorithm is divided in four steps: (i) the pairing of junctions according to proximity criteria, (ii) the matching of brancheslsegments of paired junctions, (iii) the validation of isolated junctions according to paired junctio...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear‎ ‎partial differential equations‎. ‎the distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution‎, ‎and is‎ ‎determined by the edge-strength function‎. ‎in the previous works‎, ‎the edge-strength function depends on isotropic‎ ‎smoothing of the image‎, ‎...

 About 25 years ago, McCullagh proposed a method for modeling univariate ordinal responses. After publishing this paper, other statisticians gradually extended his method, such that we are now able to use more complicated but efficient methods to analyze correlated multivariate ordinal data, and model the relationship between these responses and host of covariates. In this paper, we aim to...

Abstra t A vertex subset D of a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex of G is either in D or is adja ent to a vertex in D. The paired domination problem on G asks for a minimumardinality dominating set S of G su h that the subgraph indu ed by S ontains a perfe t mat hing; motivation for this problem omes from the interest in nding a small number of lo ations to pla e pairs of mutually vis...

A dependent-samples t test (a.k.a. matched or paired-samples, matched-pairs, samples, or subjects, simple repeated-measures or within-groups, or correlated groups) assesses whether the mean difference between paired/matched observations is significantly different from zero. That is, the dependent-samples t test procedure evaluates whether there is a significant difference between the means of t...

Abstract– In the present paper, the effect of heat treatment on the surface roughness of AISI 4140 steel has been investigated by use of paired t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The paired t-test was performed to determine the differences between the means before and after heat treatment. One way ANOVA was used to further evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the difference in...

To analyse paired comparison outcomes, such as with non-standard probabilities, a basis is created for the space of all binary interactions, whether from probabilities, correlations, etc. In this manner, the source of all transitive and non-transitive behaviours (e.g. path dependencies) can be identified.
