it is very important to find the best model to quantify seed germination rate on the response of temperature which it can be used in determination of cardinal temperatures. this study was conducted to evaluation nonlinear regressions models for description wheat (cv. morvarid) germination rate response to temperatures and water potentials. therefore, seeds germination rate were evaluated in tem...

The Noetherian type of a space is the least κ such that it has a base that is κ-like with respect to reverse inclusion. Just as all known homogeneous compacta have cellularity at most c, they satisfy similar upper bounds in terms of Noetherian type and related cardinal functions. We prove these and many other results about these cardinal functions. For example, every homogeneous dyadic compactu...

The recently proposed “generalized min-max” (GMM) kernel [9] can be efficiently linearized, with direct applications in large-scale statistical learning and fast near neighbor search. The linearized GMM kernel was extensively compared in [9] with linearized radial basis function (RBF) kernel. On a large number of classification tasks, the tuning-free GMM kernel performs (surprisingly) well comp...

A Bayesian framework for the analysis of radial basis functions (RBF) is proposed which readily accommodates uncertainty in the dimension of the model. A distribution is deened over the space of all RBF models of a given basis function and posteriors are computed using reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers (Green, 1995). This alleviates the need to select one particular architecture...

We consider the set [u>]u and the cofinality of the set KX assuming that some cardinals are endowed in total measures. Introduction. A cardinal k is real-valued measurable if there exists a /ccomplete atomless probability measure on P(k), the set of all subsets of the cardinal /c. The status and the philosophy concerned e.g. real-valued measurable cardinals have been detailed and presented in a...

The parametric or geometric continuity of a rational polynomial curve has often been obtained by requiring the homogeneous polynomial curve associated with the rational curve to possess parametric or geometric continuity, respectively. Recently this approach has been shown overly restrictive. We make use of the necessary and su cient conditions of rational parametric continuity for de ning basi...
