fitting of regression models to life data, where the life distribution location parameter is a linear function of covariates. The fitting yields maximum likelihood estimates of parameters of a regression model with a Weibull, exponential, extreme value, normal, lognormal, logistic, loglogistic, or generalized gamma distribution. The data can be complete, right censored, left censored, or interv...

the video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. the objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. rmse values and processing ...

We deene new procedures for estimating generalized additive nonparametric regression models that are more eecient than the Linton and HHrdle (1996) integration-based method and achieve certain oracle bounds. We consider criterion functions based on the Linear Exponential Family, which includes many important special cases. We also consider the extension to multiple parameter models like the Gam...

A simple lower bound to the capacity of the discrete-time Poisson channel with average energy εs is derived. The rate 12 log(1+εs) is shown to be the generalized mutual information of a modified minimum-distance decoder, when the input follows a gamma distribution of parameter 1/2 and mean εs.

The so-called Bercovici-Pata bijection maps the set of classical infinitely divisible laws to the set of free infinitely divisible laws. The purpose of this work is to study the free infinitely divisible laws corresponding to the classical Generalized Gamma Convolutions (GGC). Characterizations of their free cumulant transforms are derived as well as free integral representations with respect t...

Using a generalized translation operator, we obtain a generalization of Theorem 5 in [4] for the Bessel transform for functions satisfying the (delta;gamma ; 2)-BesselLipschitz condition in L_{2;alpha}(R+).
