Incorporating Dynamic Uncertainties into a Fuzzy Classifier
Dealing with classification problems in practice often has to cope with uncertain information, either in the training or in the operation phase or both. Modeling these uncertainties allows to enhance the robustness or performance of the classifier. In this paper we focus on the operation phase and present a general, but simple extension to rule based fuzzy classifier to do so. Therefor uncertai...
متن کاملCalculation of Cross Section Upper Limits Combining Channels Incorporating Correlated and Uncorrelated Systematic Uncertainties
A common problem arising in new particle search experiments is to determine upper limits on a signal cross section, combining more than one channel (for example e and μ) and incorporating the effects of systematic errors, which may or may not be correlated across channels. This note describes a Bayesian procedure for performing such a calculation.
متن کاملIncorporating Systematics and Statistical Uncertainties into Exclusion Limits
It is important to know the range in which a planned experiment can exclude the presence of a signal at a given confidence level 1− . It means that we plan to have an uncertainty not more than in our conclusion about observation or non-observation of a signal. The estimation of this uncertainty in future hypothesis testing allows the determination of exclusion limits. Let us consider a statisti...
متن کاملInclusion of Systematic Uncertainties in Upper Limits and Hypothesis Tests
The problem of including systematic uncertainties in upper limits on Poisson processes and in hypothesis tests is solved in a consistent and straightforward way if the uncertain quantities are treated probabilistically. This is illustrated through examples taken from the searches for new particles at ZEUS.
متن کاملIncorporating the Hayflick Limit into a model of Telomere Dynamics
A model of telomere dynamics is proposed and examined. Our model, which extends a previously introduced two-compartment model that incorporates stem cells as progenitors of new cells, imposes the Hayflick Limit, the maximum number of cell divisions that are possible. This new model leads to cell populations for which the average telomere length is not necessarily a monotonically decreasing func...
