The author states that the problem of morality should be one of the main topics of psychological science though modern Russian psychology avoids it for some reasons. The Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences develops the qualitative approach to this problem based on the index combining several statistic indicators. Applying it to modern Russian society provides the opportun...

This paper presents an unsupervised texture segmentation method, which uses distributions of local binary patterns and pattern contrasts for measuring the similarity of adjacent image regions during the segmentation process. Nonparametric log-likelihood test, the G statistic, is engaged as a pseudo-metric for comparing feature distributions. A region-based algorithm is developed for coarse imag...

We define a statistic, called weight, on involutions and consider two applications in which this statistic arises. Let I (n)denote the set of all involutions on [n](= {1, 2, . . . , n}) and let F(2n)denote the set of all fixed point free involutions on [2n]. For an involution δ, let |δ| denote the number of 2-cycles in δ. Let [n]q = 1+q+· · ·+qn−1 and let (k)q denote the q-binomial coefficient....

Student's t-statistic is a data-based linear transformation of an average. This paper proposes an extension i) to more general estimates including m.l.e.'s and M-estimates, and ii) to nonlinear transformations, so that the variance of the estimate is approximately constant. The expansion of the statistic and its properties are derived using basic procedures for the symbolic computation of asymp...

Statistical Rate Monotonic Scheduling (SRMS) is a generalization of the classical RMS results of Liu and Layland [LL73] for periodic tasks with highly variable execution times and statistical QoS requirements. The main tenet of SRMS is that the variability in task resource requirements could be smoothed through aggregation to yield guaranteed QoS. This aggregation is done over time for a given ...
