ÐThis is an elementary research for assigning color values to voxels of multichannel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) volume data. The MRI volume data sets obtained under different scanning conditions are transformed to the components by independent component analysis (ICA), which enhances physical characteristics of the tissue. The transfer functions for generating color values from independen...

‎Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a powerful tool for approximating the solution of high-dimensional problems‎. ‎They are often referred to as a meshfree method and can be spectrally accurate‎. ‎In this paper, we analyze a new stable method for evaluating Gaussian radial basis function interpolants based on the eigenfunction expansion‎. ‎We develop our approach in two-dimensional spaces for so...

We propose a method for optimizing the complexity of Radial basis function (RBF) networks. The method involves two procedures: adaptation (training) and selection. The first procedure adaptively changes the locations and the width of the basis functions and trains the linear weights. The selection procedure performs the elimination of the redundant basis functions using an objective function ba...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) with Dirichlet boundary conditions defined on boundaries with simple geomerty have been succesfuly treated using sigmoidal multilayer perceptrons in previous works [1, 2]. This article deals with the case of complex boundary geometry, where the boundary is determined by a number of points that belong to it and are closely located, so as to offer a reasonabl...

background: the formalism recommended by task group 60 (tg-60) of the american association of physicists in medicine (aapm) is applicable for β sources. radioactive biocompatible and biodegradable 153sm glass seed without encapsulation is a β- emitter with a short half life and delivers a high dose rate to the tumor in the millimeter range. in this work the dosimetry parameters of the seed for ...

We consider the problem of estimating the scale parameter &beta of a rescaled F-distribution when &beta has a lower bounded constraint of the form &beta&gea, under the entropy loss function. An admissible minimax estimator of the scale parameter &beta, which is the pointwise limit of a sequence of Bayes estimators, is given. Also in the class of truncated linear estimators, the admissible estim...

As the support vector (SV) number of a support vector machine (SVM) determines the execution speed of the testing phase, there have been diverse methods to reduce it. Although iterative preimage addition (IPA), belonging to the ‘reduced set construction’, is reported to be able to reduce a large portion of the SV number of a standard SVM when the kernel is a radial basis function (RBF), the fac...

estimation of reservoir water saturation (sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on archie equation. the present study is an application of radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. four conventional petrophysical logs (pls) including d...
