First, a suitable transformatio...

Relative Age Effects (RAEs) refer to the selection and performance differentials between children and youth who are categorized in annual-age groups. In the context of Swiss 60m athletic sprinting, 7761 male athletes aged 8 - 15 years were analysed, with this study examining whether: (i) RAE prevalence changed across annual age groups and according to performance level (i.e., all athletes, Top ...

A reversible adsorption-desorption parking process in one dimension is studied. An exact solution for the equilibrium properties is obtained. The coverage near saturation depends logarithmically on the ratio between the adsorption rate, k + , and the desorption rate, k − , ρ eq ∼ = 1 − 1/ log(k + /k −), when k + /k − ≫ 1. A time dependent version of the reversible problem with immediate adsorpt...

In this paper, we present counterarguments against the direct LDA algorithm (D-LDA), which was previously claimed to be equivalent to Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). We show from Bayesian decision theory that D-LDA is actually a special case of LDA by directly taking the linear space of class means as the LDA solution. The pooled covariance estimate is completely ignored. Furthermore, we de...

This paper provides new insights into the currently available extended linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions for control of discrete-time linear systems, motivating the use of two intrinsically different extended LMI characterizations for H2 performance. While these conditions are equivalent for H2 analysis and many H2 control problems related to precisely known linear time-invariant (LTI) ...

This paper presents the evaluation of soil flexibility at vicinity Bakun HEP Dam, largest in East Malaysia. The dam is located Belaga District Sarawak, approximately 50 km from active Tubau and Bukit Mersing fault lines. area experienced earthquakes magnitudes ranging between 3.5 5.4 during period 1994 2010. study used global local earthquake records to evaluate site specific seismic hazard usi...

Adaptative training of the non-linear single-layer perceptron can lead to the Euclidean distance classifier and later to the standard Fisher linear discriminant function. On the way between these two classifiers one has a regularized discriminant analysis. That is equivalent to the “weight decay” regularization term added to the cost function. Thus early stopping plays a role of regularization ...

This paper is concerned with L2-stability analysis of hinging hyperplane autoregressive models with exogenous inputs (HHARX). The proposed approach relies on analysis results for systems with repeated nonlinearities based on the use of integral quadratic constraints. An equivalent linear fractional representation of HHARX models is firstly derived. In this representation, an HHARX model is seen...
