Discrete Scan Statistics Generated by Exchangeable Binary Trials
Let {Xi}i=1 be a sequence of random variables with two possible outcomes, denoted 0 and 1. Define a random variable Sn,m to be the maximum number of 1s within any m consecutive trials in {Xi}i=1. The random variable Sn,m is called a discrete scan statistic and has applications in many areas. In this paper we evaluate the distribution of discrete scan statistics when {Xi}i=1 consists of exchange...
متن کاملScan and Systems of Conditional Logic
The SCAN algorithm has been proposed for second order quanti er elimination. In particular it can be applied to nd correspondence axioms for systems of modal logic. Up to now, what has been studied are systems with unary modal operators. In this paper we study how SCAN can be applied to various systems of conditional logic, which are logical systems with binary modal operators.
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
متن کاملSpatial scan statistics with overdispersion.
The spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection for more than a decade. However, overdispersion often presents in real-world data, causing not only violation of the Poisson assumption but also excessive type I errors or false alarms. In order to account for overdispersion, we extend the Poisson-based spatial scan test to a quasi-Pois...
متن کاملPeak finding through Scan Statistics
We discuss the conditions under which Scan Statistics can be fruitfully implemented to signal a departure from the underlying probability model that describes the experimental data. It is shown that local perturbations (“bumps” or “excesses” of events) are better dealt within this framework and, in general, tests based on these statistics provide a powerful and unbiased alternative to the tradi...
