Machinability Evaluation of Dental Restorative Materials
(1996)
Ceramic materials are ideal candidates for dental restorative applications for their color, texture, and mechanical properties which closely resemble those of the human enamel. However, due to the inherent brittleness of ...
Zero-Crossing Rates of Some Non-Gaussian Processes with Application to Detection and Estimation
(1996)
In this dissertation we present extensions of Rice's formula for the expected zero-crossing rate of a Gaussian process to some useful non-Gaussian cases. In particular, we extend Rice's formula to the class of stationary ...
Commodity Trading Using Neural Networks: Models for the Gold Market
(1997)
Essential to building a good financial forecasting model is having a realistic trading model to evaluate forecasting performance. Using gold trading as a platform for testing we present a profit based model which we use ...
Dynamic Range, Stability, and Fault-tolerant Capability of Finite-precision RLS Systolic Array Based on Givens Rotations
(1990)
The QRD RLS algorithm is generally recognized as having good numerical properties under finite-precision implementation. Also, it is very suitable for VLSI implementation since it can be easily mapped onto a systolic array. ...
Minimum Mean Square Error Estimation of Connectivity in Biological Neural Networks
(1991)
A minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation scheme is employed to identify the synaptic connectivity in neural networks. This new approach can substantially reduce the amount of data and the computational cost involved ...
A Unified Approach for Dyadic Shift Invariance and Cyclic Shift Invariance
(1991)
In this paper, the concept of the dyadic shift invariance (DSI) and cyclic shift invariant (CSI) functions are proposed. First, basic properties of the DSI and CSI functions are presented. Then, we can show that the ...
Bayesian Change Detection
(1991)
In this thesis we consider certain problems of optimal change detection in which the task is to decide in a sequential manner which of two probabilistic system descriptions account for given, observed data. Optimal decisions ...
On Periodic Pulse Interval Analysis with Outliers and Missing Observations
(1996)
Analysis of periodic pulse trains based on time of arrival is considered, with perhaps very many missing observations and contaminated data. A period estimator is developed based on a modified Euclidean algorithm. This ...
Closed-Loop Monitoring Systems for Detecting Incipient Instability
(1998)
Monitoring systems are proposed for the detection of incipientinstability in uncertain nonlinear systems. The work employsgeneric features associated with the response to noise inputsof systems bordering on instability. ...
Estimation of Multiple Sinusoidal Frequencies Using Truncated Least-Squares Methods
(1991)
Tufts and Kumaresan (1982) first proposed using a SVD-based method to solve the forward-backward linear prediction (FBLP) least-squares problem for resolving closely spaced frequencies of multiple sinusoids from limited ...
