A parametrically extended entanglement measure due to Tsallis relative entropy in quantum system is proposed and then its properties with respect to the parameter q are shown. The relation between it and the relative entropy of entanglement is studied.

Feature subset selection is an essential preprocessing task in data mining. This paper presents a new method called Extended Fuzzy Relative Information Measure for Boundary Samples (EFRIMBS) for dealing with supervised feature subset selection. The proposed algorithm uses boundary samples instead of full set of samples. First, Discretization algorithms such as K-Means, Fuzzy C Means and Median ...

Spectral integration is a subjective phenomenon in which a vowel with two formants, spaced below a critical distance, is perceived to be of the same phonetic quality as that of a vowel with a single formant. It is tedious to conduct perceptual tests to determine the critical distance for various experimental conditions. To alleviate this difficulty, we propose an objective critical distance (OC...

Using 64 ms count data for long gamma-ray bursts ( T90 > 2.6 s), we analyze the quantity, relative spectral lag (RSL), which is defined as τ31/FWHM(1), where τ31 is the spectral lag between energy bands 1 and 3, and FWHM(1) denotes full width at half maximum of the pulse in energy channel 1. To get insights into features of the RSLs, we investigate in detail all the correlations between them an...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming-based approach for evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of DMUs (Decision Making Units). The relative efficiency of a DMU is the result of comparing the inputs and outputs of the DMU and those of other DMUs in the PPS (Production Possibility Set). Also, in Data Envelopment Analysis various models have been developed in order to...

Tortuosity is defined as the ratio of the actual path length from start to goal through the pores to the Euclidean distance (shortest linear distance). However, traditional methods to calculate tortuosity, such as the calculation of tortuosity out of the results from dissolution experiments, do not determine path length directly. In this paper we describe the application of image analysis for d...

A measure of relative importance of network effects in the stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) is proposed. The SAOM is a parametric model for statistical inference in longitudinal social networks. The complexity of the model makes the interpretation of inferred results difficult. So far, the focus is on significance tests while the relative importance of effects is usually ignored. Indeed, ...

The relative disparity between two objects in a scene can in principle be measured directly from the retinal images, without knowledge of eye position. But relative disparity increment thresholds are lowest when the relative disparity is small and the objects are not widely separated in the visual field: thus, some relative disparities are easier for the visual system to measure than others. We...

A new notion of empirical informational divergence (relative entropy) between two individual sequences is introduced. If the two sequences are independent realizations of two finiteorder, finite alphabet, stationary Markov processes, the empirical relative entropy converges to the relative entropy almost surely. This new empirical divergence is based on a version of the Lempel-Ziv data compress...

A micro system for measuring the relative displacements between a bone and an implant in a prosthetic hip of a human being has been realized. Novel are the small dimensions of the system combined with the possibility to measure relative displacements in three directions. The system consists of a microsensor body, a mechanical transducer element made by precision mechanics, electronics, and the ...
