This paper presents a general notion of Mahalanobis distance for functional data that extends the classical multivariate concept to situations where the observed data are points belonging to curves generated by a stochastic process. More precisely, a new semi-distance for functional observations that generalize the usual Mahalanobis distance for multivariate datasets is introduced. For that, th...

Abstract Methadone Flexi Dispensing Service (MFlex) has been officially re-branded from 1Malaysia (M1M) since 2nd January 2019. Patients under MFlex are frequently taking their methadone according to a plan provided by pharmacist at public clinic. From the dose monitoring taken annually, pharmacists can predict critical patients based on high monthly increases. However, current system is writte...

In this work, we propose a scalable and fast algorithm to learn a Mahalanobis distance metric. The key issue in this task is to learn an optimal Mahalanobis matrix in this distance metric. It has been shown in the statistical learning theory [?] that increasing the margin between different classes helps to reduce the generalization error. Hence, our algorithm formulates the Mahalanobis matrix a...

this study is made to find out the variations of the outer body morphology of luciobarbus mystaceus (pallas, 1814) belonging cyprinidae family that lived in tigris river system between january 2015 and december 2015 with geometric morphometric methods depending on gender, age and season. after being caught with fishnet having different meshes and brought to the laboratory, in total 58 (21♀♀, 37...

The present work is a comparative study of four different subjects’ achievements such as mathematics, English, general sciences, and social studies between two student groups in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) Assam, India. Three types are considered viz., tribal nontribal, boys girls, rural urban from secondary higher schools BTR. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) used to calculate difference dy...

In this paper, Mahalanobis Distance (MD) has been proposed as a measure to classify the sentiment expressed in a review document as either positive or negative. A new method for representing the text documents using Representative Terms (RT) has been used. The new way of representing text documents using few representative dimensions is relatively a new concept, which is successfully demonstrat...
