Design and Test of New Robust QCA Sequential Circuits
One of the several promising new technologies for computing at nano-scale is quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). In this paper, new designs for different QCA sequential circuits are presented. Using an efficient QCA D flip-flop (DFF) architecture, a 5-bit counter, a novel single edge generator (SEG) and a divide-by-2 counter are implemented. Also, some types of oscillators, a new edge-t...
متن کاملMixture Density Estimation Based on Maximum Likelihoodand Sequential Test
We address the problem of estimating an unknown probability density function from a sequence of input samples. We approximate the input density with a weighted mixture of a nite number of Gaussian kernels whose parameters and weights we estimate iteratively from the input samples using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) procedure. In order to decide on the correct total number of kernels we employ sim...
متن کاملBayesian estimation and test for factor analysis model with continuous and polytomous data in several populations.
The main purpose of this paper is to develop a Bayesian approach for the multisample factor analysis model with continuous and polytomous variables. Joint Bayesian estimates of the thresholds, the factor scores and the structural parameters subjected to some simple constraints across groups are obtained simultaneously. The Gibbs sampler is used to produce the joint Bayesian estimates. It is sho...
متن کاملCausal Reasoning with Continuous Outcomes
We describe an attempt to understand causal reasoning in situations where a binary cause produces a change on a continuous magnitude dimension. We consider established theories of binary probabilistic causal inference – ΔP and Power PC – and adapt them to continuous non-probabilistic outcomes. While ΔP describes causal strength as the difference of effect occurrence between the presence and abs...
متن کاملComparison of discrete and continuous models for the pooling problem
The pooling problem is an important global optimization problem which is encountered in many industrial settings. It is traditionally modeled as a bilinear, nonconvex optimization problem, and solved by branch-and-bound algorithms where the subproblems are convex. In some industrial applications, for instance in pipeline transportation of natural gas, a different modeling approach is often made...
