The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex “Frontal Lobe” tasks: a latent variable analysis

by Akira Miyake, Naomi P. Friedman, Michael J. Emerson, Alexander H. Witzki, Amy Howerter, Tor D. Wager - COGNIT PSYCHOL , 2000
"... This individual differences study examined the separability of three often postulated executive functions—mental set shifting ("Shifting"), information updating and monitoring ("Updating"), and inhibition of prepotent responses ("Inhibition")—and their roles in complex ..."

The particel swarm: Explosion, stability, and convergence in a multi-dimensional complex space

by Maurice Clerc, James Kennedy - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTION
"... The particle swarm is an algorithm for finding optimal regions of complex search spaces through interaction of individuals in a population of particles. Though the algorithm, which is based on a metaphor of social interaction, has been shown to perform well, researchers have not adequately explained ..."

Directional Statistics and Shape Analysis

by K. V. Mardia , 1995
"... There have been various developments in shape analysis in the last decade. We describe here some relationships of shape analysis with directional statistics. For shape, rotations are to be integrated out or to be optimized over whilst they are the basis for directional statistics. However, various c ..."

concepts are connected. In particular, certain distributions of directional statistics have emerged in shape analysis, such a distribution is Complex Bingham Distribution. This paper first gives some background to shape analysis and then it goes on to directional distributions and their applications

Multiresolution Analysis of Arbitrary Meshes

by Matthias Eck , Tony DeRose, Tom Duchamp, Hugues Hoppe, Michael Lounsbery, Werner Stuetzle , 1995
"... In computer graphics and geometric modeling, shapes are often represented by triangular meshes. With the advent of laser scanning systems, meshes of extreme complexity are rapidly becoming commonplace. Such meshes are notoriously expensive to store, transmit, render, and are awkward to edit. Multire ..."

Bayesian Data Analysis

by Andrew Gelman, Christian Robert, Nicolas Chopin, Judith Rousseau , 1995
"... I actually own a copy of Harold Jeffreys’s Theory of Probability but have only read small bits of it, most recently over a decade ago to confirm that, indeed, Jeffreys was not too proud to use a classical chi-squared p-value when he wanted to check the misfit of a model to data (Gelman, Meng and Ste ..."

the following: (1) in thinking about prior distributions, we should go beyond Jeffreys’s principles and move toward weakly informative priors; (2) it is natural for those of us who work in social and computational sciences to favor complex models, contra Jeffreys’s preference for simplicity; and (3) a key

Comprehensive database for facial expression analysis

by Takeo Kanade, Jeffrey F. Cohn, Yingli Tian - in Proceedings of Fourth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition
"... Within the past decade, significant effort has occurred in developing methods of facial expression analysis. Because most investigators have used relatively limited data sets, the generalizability of these various methods remains unknown. We describe the problem space for facial expression analysis, ..."

Points-to Analysis in Almost Linear Time

by Bjarne Steensgaard , 1996
"... We present an interprocedural flow-insensitive points-to analysis based on type inference methods with an almost linear time cost complexity. To our knowledge, this is the asymptotically fastest non-trivial interprocedural points-to analysis algorithm yet described. The algorithm is based on a non-s ..."

A Model of Saliency-based Visual Attention for Rapid Scene Analysis

by Laurent Itti, Christof Koch, Ernst Niebur , 1998
"... A visual attention system, inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system, is presented. Multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map. A dynamical neural network then selects attended locations in order of decreasing salie ..."

Index terms: Visual attention, scene analysis, feature extraction, target detection, visual search. \Pi I. Introduction

Multipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees

by Laura Almasy, John Blangero - Am. J. Hum. Genet , 1998
"... Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint i ..."

A comparative analysis of selection schemes used in genetic algorithms

by David E. Goldberg, Kalyanmoy Deb - Foundations of Genetic Algorithms , 1991
"... This paper considers a number of selection schemes commonly used in modern genetic algorithms. Specifically, proportionate reproduction, ranking selection, tournament selection, and Genitor (or «steady state") selection are compared on the basis of solutions to deterministic difference or d ..."

or differential equations, which are verified through computer simulations. The analysis provides convenient approximate or exact solutions as well as useful convergence time and growth ratio estimates. The paper recommends practical application of the analyses and suggests a number of paths for more detailed
