For binary matched-pairs data, this article discusses interval estimation of the di erence of probabilities 7 and an odds ratio for comparing ‘success’ probabilities. We present simple improvements of the commonly used Wald con dence intervals for these parameters. The improvement of the interval for the 9 di erence of probabilities is to add two observations to each sample before applying it. ...

We study the e↵ect of source and type of training data on detecting failures in industrial robots using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Specifically, using field data across multiple robots performing di↵erent tasks, we compare two scenarios: first, where training data obtained from a single robot is used to evaluate multiple robots (one-to-many), and second, where each robot is evaluated o...

This paper considers the security of iterated block ciphers against the di erential cryptanalysis introduced by Biham and Shamir Di erential cryptanalysis is a chosen plaintext attack on secret key block ciphers that are based on iterating a cryptographically weak function r times e g the round Data Encryption Standard DES It is shown that the success of such attacks on an r round cipher depend...

ly u t is nothing more than an element in a Banach space B and this leaves room for applications to a wide variety of problems in di erential equations As in the examples above B might be L and A might be x or x and homogeneous boundary conditions could be included by restricting B appropriately More generally u t could be an vector valued function of multiple space variables The next step is t...

When one considers the e ect in the physical space, Daubechies-based wavelet methods are equivalent to nite di erence methods with grid re nement in regions of the domain where small scale structure exists. Adding a wavelet basis function at a given scale and location where one has a correspondingly large wavelet coe cient is, essentially, equivalent to adding a grid point, or two, at the same ...

Analyzing repeated di erence tests aims in signi cance testing for di erences as well as in estimating the mean discrimination ability of the consumers. In addition to the average success probability, the proportion of consumers that may detect the di erence between two products and therefore account for any increase of this probability is of interest. While some authors address the rst two goa...

This paper presents a new method for integrating di erent low level vision modules, stereo and shape from shading, in order to improve the 3D reconstruction of visible surfaces of objects from intensity images. The integration process is based on correcting the 3D visible surface obtained from shape from shading using the sparse depth measurements from the stereo module by tting a surface into ...

| Since manufacturing processes inherently uctuate, LSI chips which are produced from the same design have di erent propagation delays. However, the di erence in delays caused by the the process uctuation has rarely been considered in most high-level synthesis systems which were developed before. This paper presents a new approach to module selection in high-level synthesis, which exploits di e...

Properties of probabilistic as well as \probabilistic plus nondeterministic" pushdown automata and auxiliary pushdown automata are studied. These models are analogous to their counterparts with nondeterministic and alternating states. Complete characterizations in terms of well-known complexity classes are given for the classes of languages recognized by polynomial time-bounded, logarithmic spa...
