This paper presents a computationally very efficient, robust, automatic tracking method that does not require any implanted fiducials for low-contrast tumors. First, it generates a set of motion hypotheses and computes corresponding feature vectors in local windows within orthogonal-axis X-ray images. Then, it fits a regression model that maps features to 3D tumor motions by minimizing geodesic...

A (symmetric) nested orthogonal array is a symmetric orthogonal array OA(N, k, s, g) which contains an OA(M,k, r, g) as a subarray, where M < N and r < s. In this communication, some methods of construction of nested symmetric orthogonal arrays are given. Asymmetric nested orthogonal arrays are defined and a few methods of their construction are described.

Data analysis and especially forecasts are important when an investor wants to place his capital. A useful mathematical tool in conducting analysis and making decisions of this type is regression. In this paper we deal with orthogonal regression, particularly focusing on two-dimensional case. On this basis, we present a comparative analysis on the evolution of some securities listed on stock ex...

The concept of a linear ordered orthogonal array is introduced, and its equivalent geometrical configuration is determined when its strength is 3 and 4. Existence of such geometrical configurations is investigated. They are also useful in the study of (T, M, S)-nets.

Relative radiometric normalisation (RRN) is a vital step to achieve radiometric consistency among remote sensing images. Geo-analysis over large areas often involves mosaicking massive remote sensing images. Hence RRN becomes a data-intensive and computing-intensive task. This study implements a parallel RNN method based on the iteratively re-weighted multivariate alteration detection (IR-MAD) ...

AIMS To evaluate an easier alternative method to orthogonal regression analysis for calculating International Sensitivity Indexes (ISI). METHODS ISI for 18 reagents were estimated from reference and test reagent prothrombin times using plasma from 60 stabilised patients undergoing anticoagulation therapy and 20 normal subjects. ISI were also derived for 12 systems (instrument/reagent combinat...
