A reviewer of the manuscript challenged us to do two things. First, to move beyond simple likelihood ratio examples and show how evidential ideas are used in the practice of science. And, second to solve some deep problem in ecology using this framework. To answer the first challenge, we discuss information criteria differences as a natural extension of the likelihood ratio that overcomes many ...

In this analysis natural systems are posed to subsystemize in a manner facilitating both structured information/energy sharing and an entropy maximization process projecting a three-dimensional, spatial, outcome. Numerical simulations were first carried out to determine whether n × n input-output matrices could, once entropy-maximized, project a three-dimensional Euclidean metric. Only 4 × 4 ma...

design process is one of the main processes practiced in engineering. in this paper, after demonstrating the place of engineering among the topics discussed about technology, design process is studied from the perspective of three different models. the first model, vincenti’s model, provides an abstract explanation of the design process; the second model, bucciarelli’s model, has a sociological...

Under operator, matrix and inverse theory, seismic-wave imaging can be considered a unified process—mapping from data space to model space. The main topics in seismic-wave imaging include (1) seismic-data interpolation, regularization and redatuming, which mainly decrease the imaging noise; (2) seismic-wave illumination analysis, which predicts whether a target reflector can be imaged and evalu...

Illumination problems caused by finite-recording aperture and lateral velocity lensing can lead to amplitude fluctuations in migrated images. I calculate both model and data-space weighting functions that compensate for these illumination problems in recursive depth migration results based on downward-contination. These weighting functions can either be applied directly with migration to mitiga...

In this era of digitization, knowing the user’s sociolect aspects have become essential features to build the user specific recommendation systems. These sociolect aspects could be found by mining the user’s language sharing in the form of text in social media and reviews. This paper describes about the experiment that was performed in PAN Author Profiling 2017 shared task. The objective of the...

Abstract The performance of Space-Based Radar (SBR) to detect air or ground moving targets is influenced by earth clutter, so an effective algorithm to suppressing clutter can be designed if knowing the power and distribution of earth clutter. In this paper, the clutter model of SBR is deduced. Besides, the earth's rotation effect is taken into account and the modification to Doppler frequency ...
