Signi...cance in Scale Space for Density Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important problem in the use of density estimation for data analysis is whether or not observed features, such as bumps are “really there”, as opposed to being artifacts of the natural sampling variability. Here we propose a solution to this problem, in the challenging two dimensional case, using the graphical technique of Signi...cance in Scale Space. Color and dynamic graphics form an important part of the visualization method.

Signi...cance in Scale Space
This paper develops a methodology for ...nding which features in a noisy image are strong enough to be distinguished from background noise. It is based on scale space, i.e. a family of smooths of the image. Pixel locations having statistically signi...cant gradient and/or curvature are highlighted by colored symbols. The gradient version is enhanced by displaying regions of signi...cance with s...
متن کاملEvaluation of using absolute vs. relative base level when analyzing brain activation images using the scale-space primal sketch
A dominant approach to brain mapping is to de ne functional regions in the brain by analyzing images of brain activation obtained from positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This paper presents an evaluation of using one such tool, called the scale-space primal sketch, for brain activation analysis. A comparison is made concerning two possible defin...
متن کاملSiZer for exploration of structures in curves
In the use of smoothing methods in data analysis, an important question is often: which observed features are \really there?", as opposed to being spurious sampling artifacts. An approach is described, based on scale space ideas that were originally developed in computer vision literature. Assessment of SIgni cant ZERo crossings of derivatives, results in the SiZer map, a graphical device for d...
متن کاملA simple method to estimate the signi®cance level of the catch probability in the catch removal method in river ®sh populations
This work presents a method for estimating the signi®cance level of the capture probability when the capture removal method is used in riverine ®sh populations. The method is based on adjustment of the linear relationship between capture probability and an index of capture ef®cacy. With this method the population size, the statistic 2 and the signi®cance level of the capture probability can be ...
متن کاملTranslation Estimation in Log-Polar Images
Log-polar mapping plays a fundamental role in active vision by allowing both a wide eld-of-view and a high-accuity area. While log-polar mapping simpli es certain visual tasks, translation estimation becomes more diÆcult in this domain. However, given the importance of translational motion for mobile target tracking, solving this problem in log-polar space is of great signi cance. In this paper...
