Derivation of kernel of dynamic support vector machines: Stochastic and deterministic data process
We give an analytic derivation of kernel of dynamic support vector machine (DSVM). We show them for the cases of stochastic and deterministic changes. For the stochastic case, Gaussian kernel is naturally derived. For the deterministic case, the kernel is derived in the form of traveling wave. We also give comments from physical viewpoints in the context of information geometry. *mmsato11@yahoo...
متن کاملDevelopment of a WEB-GIS real-time dynamic landslide risk scenarios procedure - Umbria Region civil protection early warning system, a case study
Umbria Region Functional Centre, part of the Umbria Region Civil Protection Dept., since 2009 has developed an experimental, operational early warning system for landslide risk assessment, named PRESSCA (PREvisione Soil Slips e Contenuto d’Acqua), based on rainfall thresholds, soil moisture evaluation, quantitative precipitation forecasts – QPF, and an open source WebGIS decision support subsys...
متن کاملHas the time come for preprints in biology?
Preprints, non-peer-reviewed drafts of manuscripts available on the Internet, have been used in conjunction with peer review and publication in journals in the physical sciences for almost 25 years. Recently, more scientists have been discussing whether preprints can play a similar role in biological and biomedical research. Here, I discuss my excitement and concerns about the role that preprin...
متن کاملData management aspects of public engagement with biodiversity documentation
Technological developments open up new opportunities for collaboration between biodiversity researchers and the general public. Three exemplary case studies were reviewed from literature: digitizing museum specimens, text-mining archived expedition journals and handling environmental monitoring data. Data management principles were applied to refine the ensuing requirements. Specific requiremen...
متن کاملAgricolae - Ten years of an open source statistical tool for experiments in breeding, agriculture and biology
Plant breeders and educators working with the International Potato Center (CIP) needed freely available statistical tools. In response, we created first a set of scripts for specific tasks using the open source statistical software R. Based on this we eventually compiled the R package agricolae as it covered a niche. Here we describe for the first time its main functions in the form of an artic...
