This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...

In many speech recognition applications such as name dialing, it is necessary to have the ability to know when a recognition error has occurred so that undesired or unpredicted system behavior can be minimized. Con dence measure is usually used for detection of probable errors. In this paper, a new method for measuring condence is presented. The method is based on use of recursive mumble models...

The lifetime of many software systems is surprisingly long, often far exceeding initial plans and expectations. During development and maintenance of long-lived software, requirements are analyzed and speci ed, designs and code modules are developed, testing is planned, and code is tested many times. Consequently, developers and managers frequently lose or gain con dence in software artifacts, ...

Abstract. We describe a direct method for nding optimal coils, and present \ exibility" coils which have been determined by this method. The method proceeds directly to a coil design from required plasma parameters, rather than producing an intermediate \surface current" description. This allows engineering requirements to be faithfully reproduced. A fast vacuum con guration evaluation step all...

Propositionalization and multidimensional data mining are the two main approaches applied in a relational database during the pre-processing stage of a knowledge discovery project for relational classi cation. Much has been discussed whether there are di erences between them on the nal performance of the intelligent system, however, few studies have been performed with public data of real probl...

An axion detector consisting of a tunable high-Q cavity, a superconducting magnet, and a superheterodyne receiver with an ultra-low noise pre-ampli"er has been built to search for galactic halo axions in the mass range of 1.3}13 leV. The detector instrumentation, search process, and data analysis are described. For the "rst time, this class of detector has reached su$cient sensitivity to detect...

Treatment of host cells with Concanavalin A prevents the assembly or release of fowl plague virus from chick fibroblasts and inhibits fusion of BHK cells by the paramyxovirus SV5. Metabolic events of the host cells are not greatly impaired during the early phase of infection. There is evi dence that the carbohydrate moiety of the Con A receptor of fowl plague virus is associated with the viral ...

Local adaptive image de-noising in transform domain is a powerfull tool for adapting to unknown smoothness of the images. In this work we propose to perform local adaptive denoising with adaptively varying local transform support size rather than using a transform with ¿xed size. We use a special rule (Intersection of Con¿dence Intervals ICI) to select the optimum window sizes locally. The algo...
