Rethinking Maximum Likelihood Estimation
… models. I propose a novel alternative to Maximum Likelihood Estimation, most popular method for estimating parameters, and show how my proposed method mitigates bias, reduces overfitting and the overrepresentation of high frequency events, increases the representation of low frequency …

Maximum Entropy Method in Superspace Crystallography
… several aspects of the combination of the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) for the reconstructions of the electron density with the superspace approach to the description of structures of aperiodic crystals. It is shown that the MEM in superspace provides a parameter-free reconstruction of the …

Maximum Clique in Geometric Intersection Graphs
… corresponding to the items that intersect. The maximum clique in a geometric intersec- tion graph is the largest mutually intersecting set of objects. In this thesis, the primary focus is to study the maximum clique in various geometric intersection graphs. We develop three results motivated by …

An Analysis of DNF Maximum Entropy
… that for each fixed number of terms t, the maximum entropy of a function computed by a t-term DNF is achieved by a function computable by a read-once DNF. A Python program was written to first express the t-term DNF Boolean functions as multilinear polynomials and then to compute their …

Maximum oxygen uptake predicted from submaximal tests
Two widely used tests for predicting max VO2 are the Astrand-Ryhming Nomogram (ARN) and the National YMCA bicycle ergometer test. While both tests predict max VO2 from heart rate and workload, the ARN also uses submaximal oxygen uptake as a parameter; The purpose of this study was to determine …

Semi supervised weighted maximum variance dimensionality reduction
… useful features. The two parameter weighted maximum variance (2P-WMV) is a generalized dimensionality reduction method of which principal component analysis (PCA) and maximum margin criterion (MMC) are special cases.. In this paper, we have extended the 2P-WMV approach from our previous work …

Maximum Flows in Unit-Capacitated Multicommodity Trees
Multicommodity flows are studied, in the special case where the underlying graph is a tree and all arc capacities are one.

On maximum-reward motion in stochastic environments
In this thesis, we consider the problem of an autonomous mobile robot operating in a stochastic reward field to maximize total rewards collected in an online setting. This is a generalization of the problem where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collects data from randomly deployed unattended …

Optimal structural design for maximum buckling load
Structural optimization was performed by either mathematical programming methods or optimality criteria methods. Both types of methods are based on iterative resizing of structures in the expectation that it will lead to the satisfaction of optimality conditions. Recent developments in methods for …

Maximum likelihood time-domain beamforming using simulated annealing
