Data on the composition and thermal structure, and the Lyman-alpha dayglow of Saturn when analyzed in conjunction with photochemical models of the hydrocarbons and the atomic hydrogen g reduction yield the homopause value of the eddy diffusion coefficient to be approximately 10 cm2 s-l. The equatorial value of the eddy diffusion coefficient at the homopause of Saturn is thus found to be approxi...

A probabilistic backscatter coefficient generating function (CGF) is introduced which produces realistic backscatter coefficient values for various terrain types over all incidence angles. The CGF was developed in direct support of a multilayer 3-D clutter modeling effort which successfully incorporated probabilistic clutter reflectivity characteristics and measured terrain elevation data to en...

This paper deals with statistical inferences based on the generalized varying-coeÆcient models proposed by Hastie and Tibshirani (1993). Local polynomial regression techniques are used to estimate coeÆcient functions and the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators is established. The standard error formulas for estimated coeÆcients are derived and are empirically tested. A goodness-oft...

In the domain of the Side Channel Attacks, various statistical tools have succeeded to retrieve a secret key, as the Pearson coefficient or the Mutual Information. In this paper we propose to study the Maximal Information Coefficient (MIC) which is a non-parametric method introduced by Reshef et al. [13] to compare two random variables. The MIC is based on the mutual information but it is easie...
