We first describe how to “fuzzify” the estimated binary columns to create a [0,1]-valued column. Werefer to this [0,1] -valued column as the soft segmentation column of the noisy spectrogram column.Similarly to the collection of soft segmentation columns as the soft segmentation image, or simply asthe soft segmentation. The band-dependent posterior probability that the hard segmentation columnv...

When airlines sell the same or similar seats on an air flight at different fares, the demand for any given fare class depends on the demand for the other fare classes. Demand is affected by customer buying behaviors e.g. diversion, strategic customer behavior. Diversion is denoted for situations when customers buy other fare class tickets if the originally requested fare is unavailable. Strateg...

In this paper, a modified segmentation algorithm for printed Farsi words is presented. This algorithm is based on a previous work by Azmi that uses the conditional labeling of the upper contour to find the segmentation points. The main objective is to improve the segmentation results for low quality prints. To achieve this, various modifications on local baseline detection, contour labeling an...

A missing element in public transport patronage prediction is often a matrix of direct and cross fare elasticities for specific fare classes. This paper employs a combined stated preference and revealed preference data set to obtain this type of matrix, reflecting the market environment for concession and non-concession travelers using public transport for short and long trips. A heteroskedasti...

This study considers the relation between a number of theoretically relevant individual difference variables and individuals' online pornography use and arousal patterns. In doing so, an attempt is also made to determine whether self-reports of arousal can be collapsed into meaningful empirically derived content groupings. An exploratory factor analysis produces 3 factors for men: standard fare...
