The structure of cross-correlations between subthreshold potentials of neocortical neurons was recently examined. Characteristic features included broad widths and significant peak advances. It was suggested that dynamic synapses shape these cross-correlations. Here a reference model is developed comprising leaky integrators with static synapses. The forms of the subthreshold correlations are d...

The effect of time correlations in the afferent current on the firing rate of a generalized integrate-and-fire neuron model is studied. When the correlation time τc is small enough the firing rate can be calculated analytically for small values of the correlation amplitude α. It is shown that the rate decreases as √ τc from its value at τc = 0. This limit behavior is universal for integrate-and...

We present a novel transfer learning approach to cross-camera action recognition. Inspired by canonical correlation analysis (CCA), we first extract the spatio-temporal visual words from videos captured at different views, and derive a correlation subspace as a joint representation for different bag-of-words models at different views. Different from prior CCA-based approaches which simply train...

The paradigm shift from device-oriented to serviceoriented management has also implications to the area of event correlation. Today’s event correlation mainly addresses the correlation of events as reported from management tools. However, a correlation of user trouble reports concerning services should also be performed. This is necessary to improve the resolution time and to reduce the effort ...

A distribution-free method to generate high-dimensional sequences of dependent variables with an autoregressive structure is presented. The quantile or fractile correlation (i.e., the moment correlation of the quantiles) is used as measure of dependence among a set of contiguous variables. The proposed algorithm breaks the sequence in small parts and avoids having to define one large correlatio...

The aim of this paper is to report the results of a propagation measurement experiment to reach a statistical model of the indoor radio channel at 10 GHz using directive antennas at both terminals. The measurements were conducted on a floor of a university building. The distribution of the received fading envelope was tested to fit the Rayleigh and Rician distributions, but were not satisfactor...

We model the conditional mean and volatility of stock returns as a latent vector autoregressive (VAR) process to study the contemporaneous and intertemporal relationship between expected returns and risk in a flexible statistical framework and without relying on exogenous predictors. We find a strong and robust negative correlation between the innovations to the conditional moments that leads t...

The relativistic Klein-Gordon system is studied as an illustration of Quantum Mechanics using non-Hermitian operators as observables. A version of the model is considered containing a generic coordinateand energy-dependent phenomenological mass-term m(E, x). We show how similar systems may be assigned a pair of the linear, energy-independent leftand right-acting Hamiltonians with quasi-Hermitic...
