This study explores whether people living to 100 and beyond were any different from their peers at their middle age (30 years) in terms of their physical characteristics (height and body build), occupation and marital status...

We investigate the seven exceptional families as defined in [GMT]. Experimental as well as rigorous evidence suggests that to each family corresponds exactly one manifold. A certain two generator subgroup in PSL(2,C) is specified for each of the seven families in [GMT]. Using Newton’s method for finding roots of polynomials in several variables we solve the relation equations specifying the gen...

In this paper, we suggest to exploit the framework of rough set for detecting outliers — individuals who behave in an unexpected way or feature abnormal properties. The ability to locate outliers can help to maintain knowledge base integrity and to single out irregular individuals. First, we formally define the notions of exceptional set and minimal exceptional set. We then analyze some special...
