Since Fisher’s work in the 1930s, there has been a method to calculate in advance how well a given experiment will be able to estimate model parameters. This ‘Fisher matrix’ approach has been invaluable in experimental design. In the same spirit, we present here a method to predict how well a given experiment can distinguish between different models, regardless of their parameters. From a Bayes...

www.PosterPresentations.com • This paper presents a sparse representation based complete kernel marginal Fisher analysis (SCMFA) framework for categorizing fine art images. • First, we introduce several Fisher vector based features for feature extraction so as to extract and encode important discriminatory information of the painting image. • Second, we propose a complete marginal Fisher analys...

Introduction Peptide mapping is a common technique in the biopharmaceutical industry to characterize monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the determination of product identity and stability. Many conventional sample preparation methods are time consuming with digestion times of several hours and can introduce modifications such as deamidation, oxidation, and carbamylation.1 In this study, two class...

This paper attempts a resolution of the Fisher effect puzzle in terms of estimator choice. Using both short-term and long-term interest rates for 14 OECD countries, we find ample evidence supporting the existence of a long-run Fisher effect in which interest rates move oneto-one with inflation. Our results suggest that the reason why the Fisher effect has not found support internationally lies ...

Fisher information generally decreases by summarizing observed data into encoded messages. The present paper studies the amount of Fisher information included in independently summarized messages from correlated information sources; that is, the amount of Fisher information when sequences x N and yN of N independent observations of random variables x and y are encoded (summarized) independently...

in this paper, we consider the variational homotopy perturbation method (vhpm) to obtain an approximate series solution for the generalized fisher’s equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. comparisons are made among the variational iteration method (vim), the exact solutions and the proposed method. the results reveal that the proposed method is very effectiv...
