geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...

We show that data compression methods (or universal codes) can be applied for hypotheses testing in a framework of classical mathematical statistics. Namely, we describe tests, which are based on data compression methods, for the three following problems: i) identity testing, ii) testing for independence and iii) testing of serial independence for time series. Applying our method of identity te...

This paper presents Group Testing for Wavelets (GTW), a novel embedded-wavelet-based image compression algorithm based on the concept of group testing. We explain how group testing is a generalization of the zerotree coding technique for wavelet-transformed images. We also show that Golomb coding is equivalent to Hwang's group testing algorithm. GTW is similar to SPIHT but replaces SPIHT's sign...

This paper introduces Group Testing for Wavelet Packets (GTWP), a novel embedded image compression algorithm based on wavelet packets and group testing. This algorithm extends the Group Testing for Wavelets (GTW) algorithm [7] to handle wavelet packets. Like its predecessor, GTWP obtains good compression performance without the use of arithmetic coding. It also shows that the group testing meth...
