A Generalized Gamma Mixture Model for Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization
Several statistical models have been proposed in the literature to describe the behavior of speckles. Among them, the Nakagami distribution has proven to very accurately characterize the speckle behavior in tissues. However, it fails when describing the heavier tails caused by the impulsive response of a speckle. The Generalized Gamma (GG) distribution (which also generalizes the Nakagami distr...
متن کاملA gamma model for DNA mixture analyses
We present a new methodology for analysing forensic identification problems involving DNA mixture traces where several individuals may have contributed to the trace. The model used for identification and separation of DNA mixtures is based on a gamma distribution for peak area values. In this paper we illustrate the gamma model and apply it on several real examples from forensic casework.
متن کاملMixture of Generalized Gamma Density-Based Score Function for Fastica
We propose an entirely novel family of score functions for blind signal separation BSS , based on the family of mixture generalized gamma density which includes generalized gamma, Weilbull, gamma, and Laplace and Gaussian probability density functions. To blindly extract the independent source signals, we resort to the FastICA approach, whilst to adaptively estimate the parameters of such score...
متن کاملGALILEO: A Generalized Low-Entropy Mixture Model
We present a new method of generating mixture models for data with categorical attributes. The keys to this approach are an entropy-based density metric in categorical space and annealing of high-entropy/low-density components from an initial state with many components. Pruning of low-density components using the entropy-based density allows GALILEO to consistently find highquality clusters and...
متن کاملA Two-Parameter Model for Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization with Harmonic Imaging
Over the past few decades, researchers have developed several approaches such as the Reference Phantom Method (RPM) to estimate ultrasound attenuation coefficient (AC) and backscatter coefficient (BSC). AC and BSC can help to discriminate pathology from normal tissue during in-vivo imaging. In this paper, we propose a new RPM model to simultaneously compute AC and BSC for harmonic imaging and a...
