Nondominated sorting, also called Pareto Depth Analysis (PDA), is widely used in multi-objective optimization and has recently found important applications in multicriteria anomaly detection. Recently, a partial differential equation (PDE) continuum limit was discovered for nondominated sorting leading to a very fast approximate sorting algorithm called PDE -based ranking. We propose in this pa...

In this study using the Idrisi software system, a methodology for jointly analyzing and interpreting multi-spectral images and DEMs for extracting structural-geology features is given. In analyzing and interpreting multi-spectral images for geological features, certain criteria are employed to acquire information about the geological structures of the land, such as topographic, geomorphologic, ...

Prati) Video surveillance is becoming the technology of choice for monitoring crowded areas for security threats. While video provides ample information for human inspectors, there is a great need for robust automated techniques that can efficientl...

Consider a negotiation in which agents will make costly concessions to benefit others—e.g., by implementing tariff reductions, environmental regulations, or disarmament policies. An agenda specifies which issue or dimension each agent will make concessions on; after an agenda is chosen, the negotiation comes down to the magnitudes of agents’ contributions. We seek a ranking of agendas based on ...

Given partially observed pairwise comparison data generated by the Bradley–Terry–Luce (BTL) model, we study problem of top-k ranking. That is, to optimally identify set players. We derive minimax rate with respect a normalized Hamming loss. This provides first result in literature that characterizes partial recovery error terms proportion mistakes for also optimal signal noise ratio condition e...

We investigated the livebirths prevalence and occurrence pattern of birth defects in Korea. After the survey on birth defects was done in 2,348 medical institutions around the nation, the birth defect prevalence of livebirths in 2005-2006 was calculated. This study was based on the medical insurance claims database of the National Health Insurance Corporation. The number of livebirths in Korea ...

Depth analysis of the gravity anomaly source using Spectral Statistical Technique has been carried out in Godean area, Yogyakarta. This research was conducted to determine depth formation study area. used 56 acquisition points spread over 2 lines  along 12 km east-west direction. is from Complete Bouguer Anomaly profile. as a method determining by calculating slope graph Ln (PS) vs k. The resul...
