Large deviation theory for queueing systems
… answer these questions, we establish the large deviation principle (LDP) for an appropriate class of queueing processes. The model of our concern is the Jackson network which has a tree-type topological structure. Under carefully designed conditions, the LDP for a time homogeneous Markov process …

Large Deviation Local Limit Theorems for Ratio Statistics
<p>Let {T„, n > 1} be an arbitrary sequence of non-lattice random variables and {S<sub>n</sub>, n > 1} be another sequence of positive non-lattice random variables. Let the two sequences be independent. Let Ø<sub>1n</sub> and Ø<sub>2n</sub> be the moment genereating functions of {Tn, n > 1} and { …

Text Analytics to Inform Deviation Root Cause Analysis in Biomanufacturing
… within the prescribed operating limits. However, deviations from these processes inevitably occur, sometimes requiring in-depth investigations to determine the cause and prevent recurrence. Understanding quality trends on the manufacturing line is also critical in preventing quality issues. At …

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS AND NASAL SEPTUM DEVIATION IN DENTOFACIAL DEFORMITY PATIENTS
… asymmetry (PFA) as determined by nasal septum deviation were analyzed. In addition, the data will aid in the development of a phenomics database to allow for subsequent genotyping and gene expression evaluation from patient saliva and masseter muscle samples that were obtained at the time of …

Design of Sensor Networks for Detection Applications via Large -Deviation Theory
… work presents interesting applications of large-deviation theory and asymptotic analysis to the design of wireless sensor systems in the context of decentralized detection. Efforts are made to take into consideration the physical components of the communication channels and the structure of the …

"The doctrines of deviation and fundamental breach: have they really sunk?"
… is a fundamental breach or is a geographical deviation made by the carrier. The effect of an exclusion or limitation clause contained in a contract, in the event of such breaches will also be considered. There exists no jurisprudence in South African shipping law dealing with a fundamental …

Large-deviation analysis and applications Of learning tree-structured graphical models
… leverage this algorithm and the theory of large deviations to derive the error exponent of structure learning for discrete and Gaussian graphical models. We determine the extremal tree structures for learning, that is, the structures that lead to the highest and lowest exponents. We prove that …

Integration of deviation zone evaluation and point measurement planning in coordinate metrology
Reliable inspection of a manufactured part with coordinate Metrology demands excessive time to provide higher accuracy. The uncertainty of inspection highly depends on the number and location of points acquired during the measurement process. Isolation of the three main computational tasks in …

Evaluating least absolute deviation regression as an inverse model in groundwater flow calibration
… dissertation provides the Least sum Absolute Deviation regression and Expectation Maximization procedures. These new FORTRAN procedures were added to the parameter estimation source code of the MODFLOW groundwater computer model. The resulting inverse MODFLOW model can now calculate the …

Simulation Study on Confidence Interval Estimation for Standard Deviation with Non-Normal Distributions
… confidence intervals for the population standard deviation, σ, in non-normal data scenarios. While the sample standard deviation, s, is widely used, its reliability is compromised when dealing with skewed or heavy-tailed distributions and exhibits sensitivity to outliers. Our research addresses …

PARENTS WHO DON'T SPANK: DEVIATION IN THE LEGITIMATION OF PHYSICAL FORCE (VIOLENCE, CHILDREARING, DISCIPLINE)
<p>This study investigates why some parents deviate from American norms on childrearing and decide to use no form of physical punishment. Based on the percentage of American parents who use physical punishment, the views of popular childrearing manuals, relevant laws and court cases it is concluded …

ROBUST KULLBACK-LEIBLER DIVERGENCE AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN UNIVERSAL HYPOTHESIS TESTING AND DEVIATION DETECTION
… application of the robust KL divergence is in deviation detection: the problem of detecting deviation from a nominal distribution using a sequence of independent and identically distributed observations. An asymptotically -optimal detector is then developed for deviation detection where the …

Secure Gaussian sampling for lattice-based signatures: new directions for reaching high standard deviation
… of Gaussian distributions with high standard deviation.<br/><br/>The sampling methods chosen for this research are all well-suited to producing wide distributions, in that their complexities do not grow with the standard deviation. Three new sampling algorithms are proposed, securing such …
