It is known that certain combinations of one-sided sequential probability ratio tests are asymptotically optimal (relative to the expected sample size) for problems involving a nite number of possible distributions when probabilities of errors tend to zero and observations are independent and identically distributed according to one of the underlying distributions. The objective of this paper i...

The sequential testing of many hypotheses is important for a variety of applications including detection and recognition of targets by multiple-resolution-element radar and infrared systems. In this paper, we consider a distributed multisensor system in which each sensor tests a finite number of composite hypotheses in a sequential manner. Then the decisions are transmitted to a fusion center, ...

In this study we examine quantitatively the correlation between the geometric lip contour parameters and the formant parameters for Mandarin monophthongs, and carry out a multiple linear regression study between the two parameters. We explicitly analyze the relationship between different geometric lip parameters and the formant parameters, which have some linguistic significance instead of the ...

This paper addresses statistical estimation of multiple parameters that may vary simultaneously but slowly relative to the process response in nonlinear dynamical systems. The estimation algorithm is sensor-data-driven and is built upon the concept of symbolic dynamic filtering for real-time execution on limited-memory platforms, such as local nodes in a sensor network. In this approach, the be...
