Given a nite set of non-collinear points in the plane there exists a line that passes through exactly two points. Such a line is called an ordinary line. An e cient algorithm for computing such a line was proposed by Mukhopadhyay et al [MAH97]. In this note we extend this result in two directions. We rst show how to use this algorithm to compute an ordinary conic, that is, a conic passing throu...

Abstract Cross-validation and performance measures are standard components in the evaluation of a geostatistical model. These well established univariate case, but for multivariate modeling have not received as much attention. In case single target variable, approaches remain valid, fully where vector variables needs to be estimated, based on all estimates simultaneously. An extension cross-val...
