A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here.  The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

The performance of principal component analysis (PCA) suffers badly in the presence of outliers. This paper proposes two novel approaches for robust PCA based on semidefinite programming. The first method, maximum mean absolute deviation rounding (MDR), seeks directions of large spread in the data while damping the effect of outliers. The second method produces a low-leverage decomposition (LLD...

Learning about statistics is a lot like learning about science: the learning is more meaningful if you can actively explore. This series in Advances in Physiology Education provides an opportunity to do just that: we will investigate basic concepts in statistics using the free software package R. Because this series uses R solely as a vehicle with which to explore basic concepts in statistics, ...

In this Journal, Lewis and colleagues introduced a new Reliable Change Index (RCI(WSD)), which incorporated the within-subject standard deviation (WSD) of a repeated measurement design as the standard error. In this note, two opposite errors in using WSD this way are demonstrated. First, being the standard error of measurement of only a single assessment makes WSD too small when practice effect...

As a nonstatistician, I have watched the discussion on this topic with interest (1–8). Dr. Curren-Everett and others make a clear statement that variability of results should always be reported using the standard deviation (SD) and not the standard error (SE). Others cited above variously agree and disagree with the guidelines published by Dr. Curren-Everett and others. The reasoning provided i...

three antituberculosis medications are investigated in this work consist of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. the ultra violet (uv) spectra of these compounds are overlapped, thus use of suitable chemometric methods are helpful for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of them. a generalized version of net analyte signal standard addition method (gnassam) was used for determinatio...

MOTIVATION Within a homologous protein family, proteins may be grouped into subtypes that share specific functions that are not common to the entire family. Often, the amino acids present in a small number of sequence positions determine each protein's particular functional specificity. Knowledge of these specificity determining positions (SDPs) aids in protein function prediction, drug design ...

a method for solving the descriptor discrete-time linear system is focused. for easily, it is converted to a standard discrete-time linear system by the definition of a derivative state feedback. then partial eigenvalue assignment is used for obtaining state feedback and solving the standard system. in partial eigenvalue assignment, just a part of the open loop spectrum of the standard linear s...

Current standards of data presentation and analysis in biological journals often fall short of ideal. This is the first of a planned series of short articles, to be published in a number of journals, aiming to highlight the principles of clear data presentation and appropriate statistical analysis. This article considers the methods used to show data, in particular the value of the dot plot, an...

Decomposition of non-stationary signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) into stationary or quasi-stationary, signal segmentation, is a wellknown problem in many signal processing applications. Previous methods for segmenting a signal had problems such as slow speed, low performance, and several parameters which must be defined experimentally. In this paper a new m...
