This article is concerned with identifying important features in high-dimensional data analysis, especially when there are complex relationships among predictors. Without any specification of an ac...

This note considers variable selection in the robust linear model via R-estimates. The proposed rank-based approach is a generalization of the penalized least squares estimators where we replace the least squares loss function with Jaeckel’s (1972) dispersion function. Our rank-based method is robust to outliers in the errors and has roots in traditional nonparametric statistics for simple loca...

Architectural style classification differs from standard classification tasks due to the rich inter-class relationships between different styles, such as re-interpretation, revival, and territoriality. In this paper, we adopt Deformable Part-based Models (DPM) to capture the morphological characteristics of basic architectural components and propose Multinomial Latent Logistic Regression (MLLR)...

conclusions the distribution patterns of phase-variable genes in pakistani h. pylori strains were found to be somewhat different. the dominant prevalence of the hsdr gene was an interesting finding, considering its role in bacterial defense in both micro- and macroenvironments. results on culturing, the prevalence of h. pylori infections in the samples was 44.7%. the prevalence was higher in fe...
