In this talk, the class of multivariate extended skew normal distributions is introduced. The properties of this class of distributions, such as, the moment generating function, probability density function, conditional probability density functions and independence are discussed. The definition of extended noncentral skew chi-square distribution is given. The necessary and sufficient condition...

In this paper we revisit using skew quadrupole fields in place of traditional normal upright quadrupole fields to make beam focusing structures. We illustrate by example skew lattice decoupling, dispersion suppression and chromatic correction using the neutrino factory Study-II muon storage ring design. Ongoing BNL investigation of flat coil magnet structures that allow building a very compact ...

This paper describea an algorilhm to estimate ihe tezt skew angle in a document image. The algorithm utilizes the recursive morphological transforms and yield8 accurate estimates of tezl skew angles on a large document image data set. The algorithm computes the optimal pcrrameter settings on the fly without any human interaction. In 2hM automatic mode, ezperimental resulti indicate that the alg...
