For example, 90% confidence intervals for future uncertain quantities (e.g., future stock prices) are likely to capture only 50-60% of the actual realizations. Furthermo...
متن کاملToward a Theory of Active Index
This paper introduces a theoretical framework for the active index. The active index facilitates the accessing and automatic manipulation of visual objects. With an active index, we can effectively and efficiently handle smart images that respond to accessing, probing, and other actions. Another important application is information retrieval in hyperspace. The active index can also be used to r...
