The von Mises distribution is a continuous probability distribution on the circle used in directional statistics. In this paper, we introduce the undirected von Mises Graphical model and present an algorithm for structure learning using L1 regularization. We show that the learning algorithm is both consistent and efficient. We also introduce a simple inference algorithm based on Gibbs sampling....

This paper extends previous work in discriminant analysis with von Mises-Fisher distributions (e. g., Morris and Laycock, Biometrika, 1974) to general dimension, allowing computation of misclassification probabilities. The main result is the probability distribution of the cosine transformation of a von Mises-Fisher distribution, that is, the random variable , where , satisfying , is a random d...

Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...

PURPOSE Unlike standard dental implants, the stabilization of orthodontic microscrews removed after treatment is done without osseointegration and achieved by several components: cortical bone thickness (CBT), microscrew geometry, and drilling depth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 10 different microscrews and the influence of their geometric parameters with different CBT and drilling...

This paper presents the design of a deployable and foldable tsunami pod for older and disabled people who cannot run to higher grounds during a tsunami attack. In our design, we adopt an ellipsoid structure and use finite element method (FEM) to model the structure. Then, we conduct numerical simulation and confirm the safety based on the von Mises equivalent value and the Head Injury Criterion...

Distribution-free statistical tests offer clear advantages in situations where the exact unadjusted p-values are required as input for multiple testing procedures. Such situations prevail when testing for differential expression of genes in microarray studies. The Cramér-von Mises two-sample test, based on a certain L-distance between two empirical distribution functions, is a distribution-free...

Pressure vessels are one of the essential industrial tools for high-pressure containments. Catastrophic failure pressure is detrimental to society. It design by selecting high-strength materials and analyzing them beyond working loads ensure safety. Liner less composite cylinders have gained importance in vessel industry owing their high strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance, etc. How...

Abstract INTRODUCTION The number of variables that influence the success an ACL reconstruction is such that, use numerical tools becomes increasingly necessary. In this work, a finite element model developed to simulate in its tibial insertion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Tibiae and ligaments porcine samples were used work. As fixation, interference screw with nominal diameter 7mm length 25mm used. pl...
