Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the linear and the quadratic discriminant functions are derived. The expected misclassification probabilities of these two functions are compared when the ...

Research in neuroscience has seen a recent trend toward the extension of receptive field (RF) estimation techniques and theoretical principles from linear to non-linear models. This development has ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Identities for the inverse Wishart distribution are given which are parallel to known identities for the Wishart case. Useful relationships ...

An equation of the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(m\) and \(c\) are numbers, gives a straight line when values of \(x\) and corresponding values of \(y\) are plotted on a grid. A straight line is a ...

The ancient Babylonians were a remarkable bunch. Among many extraordinary achievements, they found a now-famous mathematical solution to an unpleasant challenge: paying tax. The particular problem for ...

A function is a rule that is applied to one set of values to give another set of values. A function can be illustrated on a graph – points are plotted as coordinates and joined by either a straight ...
