The location of the author of a social media message is not invariably the same as the location that the author writes about in the message. In applications that mine these messages for information such as tracking news, political events or responding to disasters, it is the geographic content of the message rather than the location of the author that is important. To this end, we present a met...

The F-statistic is an optimal detection statistic for continuous gravitational waves, i.e., long-duration (quasi-)monochromatic signals with slowly-varying intrinsic frequency. This method was originally developed in the context of ground-based detectors, but it is equally applicable to LISA where many signals fall into this class of signals. We report on the application of a LIGO/GEO F-statist...

Given a probability distribution $p:=\{p_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ on the positive integers, there are two natural ways to construct random permutation of $\mathbb{N}$. One is called $p$-biased construction and other $p$-shifted construction. For any $n\in\mathbb{N}$, amending these constructions in an obvious way yields permutations $[n]$, that distributions set $S_n$ $[n]$. In first part paper we con...

We present the results of the first joint search for gravitational-wave bursts by the LIGO and GEO 600 detectors. We search for bursts with characteristic central frequencies in the band 768–2048 Hz in the data acquired between 22 February and 23 March, 2005 (fourth LSC Science Run–S4). We discuss the inclusion of the GEO 600 data in the Waveburst–CorrPower pipeline that first searches for coin...

The paper has analyzed on the confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza in Shenzhen during May 26, 2009 to November 15, 2009 which were reported through direct network reporting system for infectious diseases. Combine the records of infectious cases with GIS. Geo-code the records of cases and select the home address of the sufferer as the basic unit of geo-coding. The retrospective space-time permutati...

This paper develops an empirical likelihood approach to testing for the presence of uniform stochastic ordering (or hazard rate ordering) among univariate distributions based on independent random samples from each distribution. The proposed test statistic is formed by integrating a localized empirical likelihood statistic with respect to the empirical distribution of the pooled sample. The asy...

The groundwater quality research is one of the important and its pollution control was included insome research literatures. Ground water quality has spatial and temporal variation so classical statisticscould not account these variations at the regional scale researches. This study usedgeo-statisticalmethodsto optimize an interpolation method in order to estimate the spatial distribution of pH...

In this paper we illustrate the Geo Data Annotator (GDA), a framework which helps a user to build a ground-truth dataset, starting from two separate geographical datasets. GDA exploits two kinds of indices to ease the task of manual annotation: geographical-based and string-based. GDA provides also a mechanism to evaluate the quality of the built ground-truth dataset. This is achieved through a...

Landslide susceptibility mapping is an effective approach for landslide risk prevention and assessments. The occurrence of slope instability highly correlated with intrinsic variables that contribute to the landslides, such as geology, geomorphology, climate, hydrology, etc. However, feature selection those conditioning factors constitute datasets optimal predictive capability effectively accur...
