Choosing starting values for certain Newton-Raphson iterations
We aim at finding the best possible seed values when computing a1/p using the Newton–Raphson iteration in a given interval. 7 A natural choice of the seed value would be the one that best approximates the expected result. It turns out that in most cases, the best seed value can be quite far from this natural choice. When we evaluate a monotone function f (a) in the interval [amin, amax], 9 by b...
متن کاملCanonical Heights for Random Iterations in Certain Varieties
We show the existence of canonical heights (normalized heights) of subvarieties for bounded sequences of morphisms and give some applications.
متن کاملChoosing initial values for the EM algorithm for finite mixtures
The EM algorithm is the standard tool for maximum likelihood estimation in )nite mixture models. The main drawbacks of the EM algorithm are its slow convergence and the dependence of the solution on both the stopping criterion and the initial values used. The problems referring to slow convergence and the choice of a stopping criterion have been dealt with in literature and the present paper de...
متن کاملPatient values and preferences when choosing anticoagulants
BACKGROUND New oral anticoagulants have similar efficacy and lower bleeding rates compared with warfarin. However, in case of bleeding there is no specific antidote to reverse their effects. We evaluated the preferences and values of anticoagulants of patients at risk of atrial fibrillation and those who have already made a decision regarding anticoagulation. METHODS We conducted a cross-sect...
متن کاملThe Critical Values of Certain Dirichlet Series
We investigate the values of several types of Dirichlet series D(s) for certain integer values of s, and give explicit formulas for the value D(s) in many cases. The easiest types of D are Dirichlet L-functions and their variations; a somewhat more complex case involves elliptic functions. There is one new type that includes ∑∞ n=1(n +1) for which such values have not been studied previously. 2...
