In our recent studies we have proposed the use of minimum error entropy criterion as an alternative to minimum square error (MSE) in supervised adaptive system training. We have formulated a nonparametric estimator for Renyi’s entropy with the help of Parzen windowing. This formulation revealed interesting insights about the process of information theoretical learning. We have applied this new ...

The South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) is the dominant summertime cloudiness feature of subtropical South America and the western South Atlantic Ocean, having a significant influence on the precipitation regime of southeastern Brazil. This paper proposes an objective criterion based mainly on precipitation, as this variable is easily obtained on general circulation models simulating past, p...

We give an explicit arithmetical condition which guarantees the existence of unstable manifold MacKay approximate renormalisation scheme for breakup invariant tori in one and a half degrees freedom Hamiltonian systems, correcting earlier results. Furthermore, when our is violated, we example points on does not converge.

The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...
