We propose Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) models for prediction and cluster-wise variable selection, based on two choices of shrinkage baseline prior distributions the linear regression coefficients, namely, Horseshoe Normal-Gamma prior. show in a simulation study that each proposed DPM tends to outperform standard model non-shrinkage normal prior, terms predictive, clustering accuracy. This i...

We describe an implementation of the Deformable Parts Model [1] that operates in a user-defined time-frame. Our implementation uses a variety of mechanism to trade-off speed against accuracy. Our implementation can detect all 20 PASCAL 2007 objects simultaneously at 30Hz with an mAP of 0.26. At 15Hz, its mAP is 0.30; and at 100Hz, its mAP is 0.16. By comparison the reference implementation of [...

The Dirichlet distribution forms our first step toward understanding the DPM model. The Dirichlet distribution is a multi-parameter generalization of the Beta distribution and defines a distribution over distributions, i.e. the result of sampling a Dirichlet is a distribution on some discrete probability space. Let Θ = {θ1,θ2, . . . ,θn} be a probability distribution on the discrete space = { 1...

S ince the approval of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke by the Food and Drug Administration, 1 the search for means to identify patients who may benefit from this treatment beyond the approved therapeutic window has been actively pursued. One of the most successful examples is the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study III (ECASS III) trial, 2,...

BIBW 22, a phenylpteridine analogue of dipyridamole (DPM), en hanced » ini risiine cytotoxicity approximately 10 times more than DPM in a multidrug-resistant (MDR) KB V20C cell line. Using rhodamine 123 accumulation in KB V20C cells as an indicator of MDR phenotype, BIBW 22 was shown to be about 100 times more potent than DPM in inhibiting the MDR-associated efflux of rhodamine 123. Photolabel...

Business Process Redesign (BPR) projects are considered to be high risk due to their high management complexity, enterprisewide impact, and steep project cost. This paper describes a technique that should reduce that risk by developing a systematic process redesign method that we call Dynamic Process Modeling (DPM). It integrates customer-oriented process modeling with computerized visual proce...
