In this paper, a feature extraction method that is robust to additive background noise is proposed for automatic speech recognition. Since the background noise corrupts the autocorrelation coefficients of the speech signal mostly at the lower orders, while the higher-order autocorrelation coefficients are least affected, this method discards the lower order autocorrelation coefficients and uses...

In this paper, for an odd prime p, new quaternary sequences of even period 2p with ideal autocorrelation property are constructed using the binary Legendre sequences of period p. For the new quaternary sequences, two properties which are considered as the major characteristics of pseudo-random sequences are derived. Firstly, the autocorrelation distribution of the proposed quaternary sequences ...

In this correspondence we describe several classes of binary sequences with three-level autocorrelation. Those classes of binary sequences are based on cyclic almost difference sets. Some classes of binary sequences have optimum autocorrelation.

the classical method of process capability analysis necessarily assumes that collected data are independent; nonetheless, some processes such as biological and chemical processes are autocorrelated and violate the independency assumption. many processes exhibit a certain degree of correlation and can be treated by autoregressive models among which the autoregressive model of order one (ar (1)) ...

abstract profile monitoring in statistical quality control has attracted attention of many researchers recently. a profile is a function between response variables and one or more independent variables. there have been only a limited number of researches on monitoring multivariate profiles. indeed, monitoring correlated multivariate profiles is a new subject in the fileld of statistical process...

transformation of land use-land cover change occurs due to the numbers and activities of people. urban growth modeling has attracted authentic attention because it helps to comprehend the mechanisms of land use change and thus helps relevant policies made. this study applied logistic regression to model urban growth in the ahvaz metropolitan area of khuzestan province in idrisi selva software a...

We show that the F-test can be both liberal and conservative in the context of a particular type of nonspherical behaviour induced by spatial autocorrelation, and that the conservative variant is more likely to occur for extreme values of the spatial autocorrelation parameter. In particular, it will wipe out the progressive one as the sample size increases.

First results on the autocorrelation behaviour of a recently proposed fermion algorithm by M. L uscher are presented and discussed. The occurence of unexpected large autocorrelation times is explained. Possible improvements are discussed.
