Introduction: The six-minute walking test distance, despite being considered the main parameter, does not consider body weight which is known to influence exercise capacity.

Recently, Tishby, Pereira, and Bialek proposed a new method for finding concise representations of the information one set of variables contains about another [1]. This brief note explains the connections between this “information-bottleneck” method and existing mathematical frameworks and techniques. This comparison should enhance the value of research in this promising direction and clarify t...

Districting problems are of high importance in many different fields. Multiple criteria models seem a more adequate representation of districting problems in real-world situations. Real-life decision situations are by their very nature multidimensional. This paper deals with the problem of partitioning a territory into “homogeneous” zones. Each zone is composed of a set of elementary territoria...

fibre type-dependent differences in high-energy phosphate (HEP) content at rest. Most often, type I fibres have been found to contain lower absolute amounts of phosphocreatine (PCr) and ATP compared with type II fibres (Söderlund et al. 1992; Greenhaff et al. 1994; Sant’Ana Pereira et al. 1996). Among pools of type II fibres an increasing resting PCr content has been reported as expression of m...

Throughout the history of computational linguistics the rule-based and the statistics-based approaches appeared as competing rather than complementary threads of research. Even today, many view the success of the Xerox rule-based taggers as a threat to the more statistically oriented taggers, just as a few years ago the IBM statistical approach was viewed as a threat to rule-based systems of ma...

C. Pereira and J. Stern have recently introduced a measure of evidence of a precise hypothesis consisting of the posterior probability of the set of points having smaller density than the supremum over the hypothesis. The related procedure is seen to be a Bayes test for specific loss functions. The nature of such loss functions and their relation to stylised inference problems are investigated....
