A Theory and Implementation of Smooth Conditional Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article demonstrates the visual power of continuous smoothing and slicing of multivariate maps, through an example relating the rates of screening tests to colon cancer rates. A new theoretical result provides legitimacy and understanding by demonstrating how the conditional maps are related to the usual single smoothed choropleth map of colon cancer rates.

A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina’s Theory of the Conditional Syllogism
This paper will examine Ibn Sina’s theory of the Conditional Syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later Islamic tradition. As a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines I...
متن کاملComprehension of factual, nonfactual, and counterfactual conditionals by Iranian EFL learners
A considerable amount of studies have been established on conditional reasoning supporting mental model theory of propositional reasoning. Mental model theory proposed by Johnson- larid and Byrne is an explanation of someone's thought process about how something occurs in the real world. Conditional reasoning as a kind of reasoning is the way to speak about possibilities or probabilities. The a...
متن کاملAn IRT-based Parameterization for Conditional Probability Tables
In educational assessment, as in many other areas of application for Bayesian networks, most variables are ordinal. Additionally conditional probability tables need to express monotonic relationships; e.g., increasing skill should mean increasing chance of a better performances on an assessment task. This paper describes a flexible parameterization for conditional probability tables based on it...
متن کاملSmooth Functions and Smooth Maps
The main reason for introducing smooth structures was to enable us to define smooth functions on manifolds and smooth maps between manifolds. In this chapter we carry out that project. We begin by defining smooth real-valued and vector-valued functions, and then generalize this to smooth maps between manifolds. We then focus our attention for a while on the special case of diffeomorphisms, whic...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Conditional Random Field-based Named Entity Recognition using Persian Specific Features
Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction technique that identifies name entities in a text. Three popular methods have been conventionally used namely: rule-based, machine-learning-based and hybrid of them to extract named entities from a text. Machine-learning-based methods have good performance in the Persian language if they are trained with good features. To get good performanc...
