Matrix Factorizations, Triadic Matrices, and Modified Cholesky Factorizations for Optimization
… their application to Newton-type optimization. A matrix is called triadic if it has at most two nonzero off-diagonal elements in each column. Tridiagonal matrices are a special case of these. We prove that the triadic structure is preserved in the Cholesky-related factorizations We analyze its …

Evaluation of Apical, Coronal and Occlusal Form Diffrences with Conventional Orthodontic Treatment
… orthodontic treatment. Statistical Analysis: Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA) with bootstrap analysis was used to assess changes in geometric form from T1 to T2 at each of the three levels. Landmark selection was repeated on 10 subjects and an intraclass correlation (ICC) was used to …

Effects of Language Dominance in Spanish-English Bilingual Speakers
… size, and position. Using these ratings, a Euclidean distance matrix containing the ratings of English-dominant bilinguals, Spanish-dominant bilinguals, and English monolinguals was analyzed within and between groups using hierarchical cluster analysis, matrix comparisons (Mantel Tests), …

Conformational analysis of antibody binding site using EDMA methods /
Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA) methods are used to distinguish whether or not significant difference exists between conformational samples of antibody complementarity determining region (CDR) loops, isolated LI loop and LI in three-loop assembly (LI, L3 and H3) obtained from Monte Carlo …

The evolution and diversification of Pleistocene Homo
… scan data (landmarks and interlandmark distances) collected from specimens of Pleistocene Homo. To provide context, robust and gracile australopiths are incorporated due to their temporal and/or spatial correspondence. The core of this thesis consists of four manuscripts. A suite of …

Distributive Time Division Multiplexed Localization Technique for WLANs
… problem that arises while formulating the distance based localization as a convex optimization problem is the high-rank solution. We have also developed the solution based on virtual nodes to circumvent this problem. Virtual nodes are not real nodes but these are nodes that are only added …

Statistical Shape Analysis for the Human Back
In this research, Procrustes and Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA) have been investigated for analysing the three-dimensional shape and form of the human back. Procrustes analysis is used to distinguish deformed backs from normal backs. EDMA is used to locate the changes occurring on the …

Fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental instability in Arikara bioarchaeological assemblages
… asymmetry through the applications of Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA). A hypothesis for the relative ordering of the magnitude of FA was developed based on archaeological/ethnohistorical information regarding potential social stressors, prior studies that have examined the …

Prediction of Root Form Using Crown Data: Mandibular Left First Premolar
… performed using intraclass correlation tests and Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis (EDMA), a technique used to compare biologic shapes using landmark points, to compare the 3D root shapes and dimensions. Spearman’s rho test was used to determine relationships within the 76 teeth population crown …

An automatic wearable multi-sensor based gait analysis system for older adults.
… study, an evaluation system using Procrustes and Euclidean distance matrix analysis is proposed to provide a comprehensive interpretation of shape and form differences between individual gaits. The results show that older gaits are distinguishable from young gaits. A pictorial and numerical system …
