Maximum likelihood from incomplete data via the EM algorithm

by A. P. Dempster, N. M. Laird, D. B. Rubin - JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY, SERIES B , 1977
"... A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone behaviour of the likelihood and convergence of the algorithm is derived. Many examples are sketched, including missing value situat ..."

situations, applications to grouped, censored or truncated data, finite mixture models, variance component estimation, hyperparameter estimation, iteratively reweighted least squares and factor analysis.

Initial Conditions and Moment Restrictions in Dynamic Panel Data Models

by Richard Blundell, Stephen Bond - Journal of Econometrics , 1998
"... Estimation of the dynamic error components model is considered using two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard firstdifferenced GMM estimator. Both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process. Asymptotic efficiency comparisons ..."

The TSIMMIS Approach to Mediation: Data Models and Languages

by Hector Garcia-Molina, Yannis Papakonstantinou, Dallan Quass, Yehoshua Sagiv, Jeffrey Ullman, Vasilis Vassalos, Jennifer Widom, et al. - JOURNAL OF INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS , 1997

Detecting intrusion using system calls: alternative data models

by Christina Warrender, Stephanie Forrest, Barak Pearlmutter - In Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy , 1999
"... Intrusion detection systems rely on a wide variety of observable data to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate activities. In this paper we study one such observable— sequences of system calls into the kernel of an operating system. Using system-call data sets generated by several differen ..."

different programs, we compare the ability of different data modeling methods to represent normal behavior accurately and to recognize intrusions. We compare the following methods: Simple enumeration of observed sequences, comparison of relative frequencies of different sequences, a rule induction technique

CLASSIC: A Structural Data Model for Objects

by Alexander Borgida, Ronald J. Brachman, Deborah L. McGuinness, Lori Alperin Resnick , 1989
"... CLASSIC is a data model that encourages the description ofobjects not only in terms of their relations to other known objects, but in terms of a level of intensional structure as well. The CLASSIC language of structured descriptions permits i) partial descriptions of individuals, under an `open worl ..."

The Entity-Relationship Model: Toward a Unified View of Data

by Peter Pin-shan Chen - ACM Transactions on Database Systems , 1976
"... A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed. This model incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world. A special diagrammatic technique is introduced as a tool for database design. An example of database design and description using the model and th ..."

Models and issues in data stream systems

by Brian Babcock, Shivnath Babu, Mayur Datar, Rajeev Motwani, Jennifer Widom - IN PODS , 2002
"... In this overview paper we motivate the need for and research issues arising from a new model of data processing. In this model, data does not take the form of persistent relations, but rather arrives in multiple, continuous, rapid, time-varying data streams. In addition to reviewing past work releva ..."

Atmospheric Modeling, Data Assimilation and Predictability

by Eugenia Kalnay , 2003
"... Numerical weather prediction (NWP) now provides major guidance in our daily weather forecast. The accuracy of NWP models has improved steadily since the first successful experiment made by Charney, Fj!rtoft and von Neuman (1950). During the past 50 years, a large number of technical papers and repor ..."
