We consider random permutations which are spherically symmetric with respect to a metric on the symmetric group Sn and are consistent as n varies. The extreme infinitely spherically symmetric permutation-valued processes are identified for the Hamming, Kendall-tau and Caley metrics. The proofs in all three cases are based on a unified approach through stochastic monotonicity. MSC:

Kendall shape spaces are a widely used framework for the statistical analysis of data arising from many domains, often requiring parallel transport as tool to normalise time series or gradient in optimisation procedures. We present an implementation pole ladder, algorithm compute based on geodesic parallelograms and compare it methods by integration ordinary differential equation.

The Laboratory Standardization Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program recommends that cholesterol method accuracy ideally be within 3% of the true value determined by the Abell-Kendall Reference Method, a component of the National Reference System for Cholesterol. As one of the Abell-Kendall network laboratories established to facilitate cholesterol standardization, the approach we...

Microcontrollers, the brains of embedded systems, have found their way into every aspect of our lives including medical devices such as pacemakers. Pacemakers provide life supporting functions to people therefore it is critical for these devices to meet their timing constraints. This thesis examines the use of hardware co-processing to accelerate the calculation time associated with the critica...
