Finalement, je tiensà remercier ma famille et mes amis pour leur soutien et, tout simple-ment, pour leur présencè a mes côtés en toutes circonstances.

In wireless handset design, specifically power amplifiers (PAs), there is constant pressure to improve time-to-market while maintaining high yields. To meet these demands, designers need to evaluate current design practices and identify areas for improvement. Presently, some PA designers spend a great deal of time bench-tuning to optimize circuits. Because this is very time consuming, the main ...

MOTIVATION In cDNA microarray experiments all samples are labelled with either Cy3 dye or Cy5 dye. Certain genes exhibit dye bias-a tendency to bind more efficiently to one of the dyes. The common reference design avoids the problem of dye bias by running all arrays 'forward', so that the samples being compared are always labelled with the same dye. But comparison of samples labelled with diffe...

This paper describes a statistical method that helps to find good parameter settings for evolutionary algorithms. The method builds a functional relationship between the algorithm’s performance and its parameter values. This relationship—a statistical model—can be identified thanks to simulation data. Estimation and test procedures are used to evaluate the effect of parameter variation. In addi...

Some people may be laughing when looking at you reading in your spare time. Some may be admired of you. And some may want be like you who have reading hobby. What about your own feel? Have you felt right? Reading is a need and a hobby at once. This condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read. If you know are looking for the book enPDFd statistical design of experiments with e...

In this paper we discuss the statement of Yield Maximization problem and the choice of design parameters when considering statistical design of monolithic ICs. Specifically, yield maximization cannot be carried out in terms of the nominal values of the eiecxncai parameiers oc iw s eminents. MI extension to me exisong methods and a new formulation of the Yield Maximization problem for monolithic...

Introduction: Journal editors and statistical reviewers are often in the difficult position of catching statistical and research design problems after data have been collected and analyzed. The authors sought to learn from editors and reviewers of major public health journals what common statistical and design problems they find in submitted manuscripts and what they wished to communicate to au...

This paper reviews some of the more salient recent developments in statistical aspects of clinical trial design methodology and suggests that more emphasis be placed on rigorous assessments of the new methodologies to place them in the context of existing methods, demonstrate their claimed advantages, and fully disclose their remaining limitations.

This paper presents an automated detection method for identifying colonic polyps and reducing false positives (FPs) in CT images. It formulates the problem of polyp detection as a probability calculation through a unified Bayesian statistical model. The polyp likelihood is modeled with a combination of shape and intensity features. A second principal curvature PDE provides a shape model; and th...
