Adapting to unknown smoothness via wavelet shrinkage
- JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
, 1995
"... We attempt to recover a function of unknown smoothness from noisy, sampled data. We introduce a procedure, SureShrink, which suppresses noise by thresholding the empirical wavelet coefficients. The thresholding is adaptive: a threshold level is assigned to each dyadic resolution level by the princip ..."

Games with Incomplete Information Played by 'Bayesian' Players, I-III
- MANAGEMENT SCIENCE
, 1967
"... The paper develops a new theory for the analysis of games with incomplete information where the players are uncertain about some important parameters of the game situation, such as the payoff functions, the strategies available to various players, the information other players have about the game, e ..."

probability distributions derived from a certain "basic probability distribution " over the parameters unknown to the various players But later the theory is extended also to cases where the different players' subjective probability distributions fail to satisfy this consistency assumption
Some studies in machine learning using the game of Checkers
- IBM JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
, 1959
"... Two machine-learning procedures have been investigated in some detail using the game of checkers. Enough work has been done to verify the fact that a computer can be programmed so that it will learn to play a better game of checkers than can be played by the person who wrote the program. Furthermor ..."

. Furthermore, it can learn to do this in a remarkably short period of time (8 or 10 hours of machine-playing time) when given only the rules of the game, a sense of direction, and a redundant and incomplete list of parameters which are thought to have something to do with the game, but whose correct signs
Object Recognition from Local Scale-Invariant Features
"... An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, and rotation, and partially invariant to illumination changes and affine or 3D projection. These features share similar properties with neurons in ..."

in multiple orientation planes and at multiple scales. The keys are used as input to a nearest-neighbor indexing method that identifies candidate object matches. Final verification of each match is achieved by finding a low-residual least-squares solution for the unknown model parameters. Experimental results
A Survey of Weak Instruments and Weak Identification in Generalized Method of Moments
- Journal of Business & Economic Statistics
, 2002
"... Weak instruments arise when the instruments in linear instrumental variables (IV) regression are weakly correlated with the included endogenous variables. In generalized method of moments (GMM), more generally, weak instruments correspond to weak identification of some or all of the unknown paramete ..."

Three-dimensional object recognition from single two-dimensional images
- Artificial Intelligence
, 1987
"... A computer vision system has been implemented that can recognize threedimensional objects from unknown viewpoints in single gray-scale images. Unlike most other approaches, the recognition is accomplished without any attempt to reconstruct depth information bottom-up from the visual input. Instead, ..."

, a probabilistic ranking method is used to reduce the size of the search space during model based matching. Finally, a process of spatial correspondence brings the projections of three-dimensional models into direct correspondence with the image by solving for unknown viewpoint and model parameters
Property Testing and its connection to Learning and Approximation
"... We study the question of determining whether an unknown function has a particular property or is ffl-far from any function with that property. A property testing algorithm is given a sample of the value of the function on instances drawn according to some distribution, and possibly may query the fun ..."

Hierarchical Modelling and Analysis for Spatial Data. Chapman and Hall/CRC,
, 2004
"... Abstract Often, there are two streams in statistical research -one developed by practitioners and other by main stream statisticians. Development of geostatistics is a very good example where pioneering work under realistic assumptions came from mining engineers whereas it is only now that statisti ..."

The variogram plots should be used as a tool for getting hints on selecting a model and the actual unknown parameters of the model could
Verbs and Adverbs: Multidimensional Motion Interpolation Using Radial Basis Functions
- IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications
, 1998
"... This paper describes methods and data structures used to leverage motion sequences of complex linked figures. We present a technique for interpolating between example motions derived from live motion capture or produced through traditional animation tools. These motions can be characterized by emoti ..."

Posterior Predictive Assessment of Model Fitness Via Realized Discrepancies
- Statistica Sinica
, 1996

We focus on posterior predictive assessment, in a framework that also includes conditioning on auxiliary statistics. The B ..."
