As mentioned in the main paper, we ran Profile Likelihoods for each mode detected with the Monte Carlo Multiple Minimisation. The reason for this is that the method by which these profiles are computed are local (reoptimising from the current point at each step). The result is that one runs the risk that the profile likelihood fails to leave a mode before the error reaches the threshold (see fo...

MAIN TEXT A Peer Data Management System (PDMS) is a distributed data integration system providing transparent access to heterogeneous databases without resorting to a centralized logical schema. Instead of imposing a uniform query interface over a mediated schema, PDMSs let the peers define their own schemas and allow for the reformulation of queries through mappings relating pairs of schemas (...

Introduction: Isidis Planitia, a Noachian impact crater infilled with Hesperian aged basalts, is located on Mars on the crustal dichotomy and is antipodal to the Tharsis rise [1]. Measuring 1400 km across and 2 km deep, it is comparable in scale and age to lunar mascons. The basin contains an interesting pattern of both radial and concentric wrinkle ridges (see Figure 1), and massive graben are...

A trajectory is a directed path that defines a link between two spatial locations. That path may be as simple as the Euclidean shortest distance between a start and end point, or may involve a more complex traversal through time and space to travel from start to end. Within GI analysis, trajectories are used to represent phenomena such as movement of people as migration and commuting, goods and...

In this note we look into detail at the box-counting dimension of subordinators. Given that X is a non-decreasing Lévy process, which is not a compound Poisson process, we show that in the limit, the minimum number of boxes of size δ that cover the range of (Xs)s≤t is a.s. of order t/U(δ), where U is the potential function of X. This is a more refined result than the lower and upper index of th...

: This paper reports on a text-dependent speaker identification system that combines Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients with non-linear turbulence information extracted using Multi-Scale Fractal Dimension (MFD). The MFD is estimated using Box-Counting and Minkowiski-Bouligand dimension. The proposed framework is implemented in conjunction with sub-band based speaker identification system. Resu...
