Abstract It has previously been shown that ordinary least squares can be used to estimate the coefficients of single-index model under only mild conditions. However, estimator is non-robust leading poor estimates for some models. In this paper we propose a new sliced least-squares utilizes ideas from Sliced Inverse Regression. Slices with problematic observations contribute high variability in ...

This article reveals an adequate comprehension of basic defense, security challenges, and attack vectors in deploying multi-network slicing. Network slicing is a revolutionary concept providing mobile network on-demand expanding networking business services to new era. The paradigm service opportunities are encouraging vertical industries join develop their own capabilities for enhanced perform...

This paper assesses the impact of slice thickness on texture parameters. Experiments are performed on liver dynamic CT scans, with two slice thicknesses. Three acquisition moments are considered: without contrast, in arterial and in portal phase. In total, 155 texture parameters, extracted with 9 methods, are tested. Classification of normal and cirrhotic liver is performed using a boosting alg...

The concept of network slice (a service customized virtual network –VN) is attracting more and more attentions in the telecommunication industry. A slice is a set of network resources which fits the service attributes and requirements of customer services. The network resources consist of cloud resources and communication link resources. A slice can serve one or more customer services which sha...

Slice prooling is a tool which was developed as an aid in determining the cohesion of a software module. Slice prooles can be used, along with slice based metrics, during the maintenance phase of a software project to facilitate understanding of the system. In this paper, we present slice prooles and some slice based metrics. We then show, through an example, ways of utilizing these tools while...
