The concept of Just-in-Time models has been introduced for models that are not estimated until they are really needed. The prediction is taken as a weighted average of neighboring points in the regressor space, such that an optimal bias/variance trade-off is achieved. The asymptotic properties of the method are investigated, and are compared to the corresponding properties of related statistica...

in this paper we discuss on the fixed points of asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions in uniform spaces equipped with an e-distance. a new version ofkirk's fixed point theorem is given for asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions is investigated in uniform spaces.

Low probability of detection (or covert) communication refers to the scenario where information must be sent reliably to a receiver, but with low probability of detection by an adversary. Recent works on the fundamental limits of this communication problem have established achievability and converse bounds that are asymptotic in the block length of the code. This paper uses Gallager’s random co...

We isolate various sufficient conditions for a Banach space X to have the so-called Blum-Hanson property. In particular, we show that X has the Blum-Hanson property if either the modulus of asymptotic smoothness of X has an extremal behaviour at infinity, or if X is uniformly Gâteaux smooth and embeds isometrically into a Banach space with a 1-unconditional finite-dimensional decomposition.

It is a fundamental problem in gravitational radiation what the relation is between the ADM energy-momentum and the Bondi energy-momentum. Ashtekar and Magnon-Ashtekar demonstrated the mass at spatial infinity is the past limit of the Bondi mass taken as the cut approaches the “point” of spatial infinity in the frame of Penrose conformal compactification [2]. It was proved the standard ADM mass...

In many cases, crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road accidents. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral method for estimating crash potential at signalized and unsignalized intersections for different traffic characteristics. ...
