摘要:Money laundering is a process designed to conceal the true origin of funds that were originally derived front illegal activities. Because money laundering often involves criminal activities, financial institutions have the responsibility to detect and report it to the appropriate government agencies in a timely manner. But the huge number of transactions occurring each day make detecting money laundering difficult. The usual approach adopted by financial institutions is to extract some summary...

摘要:Stochastic noise susceptibility artifacts, magnetic field and radiofrequency inhomogeneities, and other noise components in magnetic resonance images (MRIs) call introduce serious bias into any Measurements made with those images. We formally introduce three regression models including a Rician regression model and two associated normal models to characterize stochastic noise in various magnetic resonance imaging modalities, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and functional MRI (fMRI)....

摘要:This pilot study is a product of the AneuRisk Project, a scientific program that aims at evaluating the role of vascular geometry and hemodynamics in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysms. By means of functional data analyses, we explore the AneuRisk dataset to highlight the relations between the geometric features of the internal carotid artery, expressed by its radius profile and centerline curvature. and the aneurysm location. After introducing a new similarity index for functional data, w...

摘要:Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a technique used in materials science to study the microtexture of metals, producing data that measure the orientations of crystals in a specimen. We examine the precision of such data based on a useful class of distributions on orientations in three dimensions (as represented by 3 x 3 orthogonal matrices with positive determinants). Although such modeling has received attention in the statistical literature, the approach taken typically has been base...

摘要:A methodology is proposed to efficiently model a random set via a multistage hierarchical Bayesian model. We define a NonOverlapping Random Disk Model (NORDM), which is similar in spirit to the well-known Poisson-Boolean model. This model is formulated in a conditional setting that facilitates Bayesian sampling of important parameters in the model. This framework can accommodate any object, not just those with disk shapes, although the model can be easily extended to include any known compact ...

摘要:Forest health monitoring schemes were set Lip across Europe in the 1980s in response to concerns about air pollution-related forest dieback (Waldsterben) and have continued since then. Recent threats to forest health are climatic extremes likely due to global climate change and increased ground ozone levels and nitrogen deposition. We model yearly data on tree crown defoliation, an indicator of tree health, from a monitoring survey carried Out in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany since 1983. On a cha...
