Regression based principal component analysis for sparse functional data with applications to screening pubertal growth paths
… a new screening method based on principal component analysis for growth paths (sparse functional data). An estimation algorithm using alternating regressions is developed, and the resulting component functions are shown to be uniformly consistent. The proposed method does not require any …

The Distribution of Generalized Sum -of -Digits Functions
… nQj is the base-Q representation of n and the component functions fj are defined on 0,1,&ldots;, Qj+1/Qj-1 and satisfy fj(0) = 0. These functions generalize the sum-of-digits functions for base-Q representations, defined by sQn= j≥0ajn . We consider the distribution of integer-valued Q-additive …

Testing the effects of violating component axioms in validation of complex aircraft systems
… in the reliability of such systems is that any component level fault will be monitored, detected and corrected by some fault management capability. However, a reliance on fault management assumes not only that it can detect and manage all faults, but also that it can do so in sufficient time to …

Smooth Shape-restricted Regression
… Typical examples include the study of utility functions, cost functions, and pro t functions in economics (Gallant, 1984; Terrell, 1996), the study of dose response curve in medicine, growth curves of animals and plants in ecology, and the estimation of the hazard rate in survival analysis …

Component availability for an age replacement preventive maintenance policy
… function for a continuously demanded component which is maintained by an age replacement preventive maintenance policy. The availability function, A(t), is a function of time and is defined as the probability that the component functions at time t. The component is considered to have …

Relative sea-level variations revealed by tide-gauge records of long duration
… requires a description of t he data in terms of component functions, whether chosen for t heir special properties (regression analysis) or empirically determined (EOF analysis). Part 1 describes a regression model that allows for gradual changes of the RSL trend and for sudden changes in the …

Distributed optimization in multi-agent systems: applications to distributed regression
… on the specific problem of minimizing a sum of functions over a constraint set, when each component function is known partially (with stochastic errors) to a unique agent. The constraint set is known to all the agents. We propose three distributed and local algorithms, establish asymptotic …

Prepositions and prepositional verbs in classical Arabic
… in close construction with the Preposition-Noun Components, i. e. are prepositional verbs (PV), and those whose verbal elements are not, i. e. are non-PVs: true intransitive or intransitively used transitive verbs. To make an accurate comparison between these two classes of Verb-Preposition-Noun …

On-line fault diagnosis of industrial processes based on artificial intelligence techniques
… the system can adjust fuzzy membership functions of the process variables automatically, as well as build the knowledge base on-line very efficiently. In order to cope with incipient faults and transient behaviour of the process under concern, a distributed online fault detection and …

Gradient-based dimension reduction for Bayesian inverse problems and simulation-based inference
… Our approach exploits the link between component functions of a triangular (Knothe–Rosenblatt) transport map and specific marginal-conditional distributions. Rather than approximating the target distribution globally, as in many current methods, we discover low-dimensional structure in …
