Formation rates of silver metal danoprisms as a function of halide concentration
… the concentration range (2.00 μM–3.33 μM) showed statistical independence through non-overlapping standard deviation between concentration sample groups. This may indicate that refinement of this method may yield similar results in the other concentration ranges or halide types.</p>

Disentangling neural network representations for improved generalization
… These perspectives treat disentanglement as statistical independence of features in image classification, language compositionality in goal driven dialog, and latent intention priors in visual dialog. By increasing the generality of neural networks through disentanglement we hope to reduce …

Dynamical mechanisms of neural firing irregularity and modulation sensitivity with applications to cochlear implants
… instability arises that accounts for the main statistical features of the irregular discharge pattern, even in the absence of ongoing physiological noise. In addition, we show that this instability accounts for both the statistical independence exhibited by different fibers in the stimulated …

The effect of internal waves on long range acoustic propagation in the ocean
… space, the acoustic fluctuations become a statistical average with a bias toward particular spatial internal wavelengths. The multimode nature of acoustic propagation precludes the linear relationship of internal wave statistics to acoustic amplitude and phase fluctuations. Assuming …

Network Inference Using Independence Criteria
… Our aim is to explore the possibilities of using statistical independence criteria for biological network inference. The contributions of our work can be categorized into four sections. First, we provide a detailed overview of some of the most popular general independence criteria: distance …

Cheetah of the Serengeti Plains: A home range analysis
… I investigate autocorrelation using time to statistical independence of locations. I confront the assumption of asymptotic home ranges by testing the traditional and multiscaled home range predictions and provide a novel method for determining kernel asymptotes. I challenge the notion of …

Geometric Algorithms for Objects in Motion
… retrieval. Robust statistics is the study of statistical estimators that are robust to data outliers. The combination of robust statistics and data structures for moving objects has not previously been studied. In studying this intersection, we consider a problem in the context of an …

Correlated Sources In Distributed Networks - Data Transmission, Common Information Characterization and Inferencing
… we consider the problem of distributed test of statistical independence under communication constraints. Focusing on the Gaussian case because of its tractability, we study in this thesis the characteristics of optimal scalar quantizers for distributed test of independence where the optimality …

Low-power high-performance SAR ADC design with digital calibration techniques
… digital calibration. It utilizes the statistical independence of an injected pseudo-random signal and the input signal to correct the DAC mismatch in SAR ADCs. This idea is experimentally verified in a 12-bit 37-MS/s SAR ADC fabricated in 65-nm CMOS implemented by Pingli Huang. This …

The use of defensive intervals in corporate failure prediction and auditors' going concern evaluations
… usually quite small. In a number of other cases, statistical independence was established. These results were corroborated by time-series analyses. A literature review of bankruptcy studies indicates the important role that liquidity variables play in discriminating between failed and nonfailed …

Power aspects of analysis of variance in various models.
… (i) equality of variance of the errors, (ii) statistical independence of the errors, and (iii) normality of the errors in fixed and random effects models. It is difficult if not impossible, to conduct an exhaustive study of the problem, because the above assumptions can be violated in many …

Rotational motion and organization studies of cell membrane proteins
… We discuss approaches based on the necessary statistical independence of polarization and intensity fluctuations to guarantee removal of a blinking-based component from rotation measurements. Imaging results demonstrate a range of rotational behavior among individual molecules. Such slow …

Turbulent partially premixed combustion: DNS analysis and RANS simulation
… excellent agreement with DNS results while their statistical independence does not hold in the burning regions of this partially premixed flame. The unstrained premixed flamelet with the correlated joint PDF method is identified to be the most appropriate model for the lifted jet flame …

A Statistical Evaluation of Algorithms for Independently Seeding Pseudo-Random Number Generators of Type Multiplicative Congruential (Lehmer-Class).
… serial correlation. It has been found that many statistical methods produce inflated Type I error rates for correlated observations. Theoretically, independently seeding an LCG under the following conditions attenuates serial correlation: (a) simple random sampling of seeds, (b) non-replicate …
