A new scale of social desirability independent of psychopathology

by Douglas P. Crowne, David Marlowe - Journal of Consulting Psychology , 1960
"... It has long been recognized that personality test scores are influenced by non-test-relevant response determinants. Wiggins and Rumrill (1959) distinguish three approaches to this problem. Briefly, interest in the problem of response distortion has been concerned with attempts at statistical correct ..."

correction for "faking good " or "faking bad " (Meehl & Hathaway, 1946), the analysis of response sets (Cron-bach, 1946,1950), and ratings of the social de-sirability of personality test items (Edwards, 19 5 7). A further distinction can be made, how-ever, which results in a somewhat

High confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence

by John G. Daugman - IEEE TRANS. ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person’s face is the detailed texture of each eye’s iris: An estimate of its statistical complexity in a sample of the ..."

Very simple classification rules perform well on most commonly used datasets

by Robert C. Holte - Machine Learning , 1993
"... The classification rules induced by machine learning systems are judged by two criteria: their classification accuracy on an independent test set (henceforth "accuracy"), and their complexity. The relationship between these two criteria is, of course, of keen interest to the machin ..."

Statistical Comparisons of Classifiers over Multiple Data Sets

by Janez Demsar , 2006
"... While methods for comparing two learning algorithms on a single data set have been scrutinized for quite some time already, the issue of statistical tests for comparisons of more algorithms on multiple data sets, which is even more essential to typical machine learning studies, has been all but igno ..."

Testing Equivalences for Processes

by R. De Nicola, M. C. B. Hennessy - Theoretical Computer Science , 1984
"... Abstract. Given a set of processes and a set of tests on these processes we show how to define in a natural way three different eyuitalences on processes. ThesP equivalences are applied to a particular language CCS. We give associated complete proof systems and fully abstract models. These models ha ..."

The "Independent Components" of Natural Scenes are Edge Filters

by Anthony J. Bell, Terrence J. Sejnowski , 1997
"... It has previously been suggested that neurons with line and edge selectivities found in primary visual cortex of cats and monkeys form a sparse, distributed representation of natural scenes, and it has been reasoned that such responses should emerge from an unsupervised learning algorithm that attem ..."

that attempts to find a factorial code of independent visual features. We show here that a new unsupervised learning algorithm based on information maximization, a nonlinear "infomax" network, when applied to an ensemble of natural scenes produces sets of visual filters that are localized and oriented

Sparse coding with an overcomplete basis set: a strategy employed by V1

by Bruno A. Olshausen, David J. Fieldt - Vision Research , 1997
"... The spatial receptive fields of simple cells in mammalian striate cortex have been reasonably well described physiologically and can be characterized as being localized, oriented, and ban@ass, comparable with the basis functions of wavelet transforms. Previously, we have shown that these receptive f ..."

is the case when the code is overcomplete--i.e., when the number of code elements is greater than the effective dimensionality of the input space. Because the basis functions are non-orthogonal and not linearly independent of each other, sparsifying the code will recruit only those basis functions necessary

Experimental Tests of the Endowment Effect and the Coase Theorem,”

by Daniel Kahneman , Jack L Knetsch , Richard H Thaler - Journal of Political Economy, , 1990
"... Contrary to theoretical expectations, measures of willingness to accept greatly exceed measures of willingness to pay. This paper reports several experiments that demonstrate that this "endowment effect" persists even in market settings with opportunities to learn. Consumption objects (e. ..."

The control of the false discovery rate in multiple testing under dependency

by Yoav Benjamini, Daniel Yekutieli - Annals of Statistics , 2001
"... Benjamini and Hochberg suggest that the false discovery rate may be the appropriate error rate to control in many applied multiple testing problems. A simple procedure was given there as an FDR controlling procedure for independent test statistics and was shown to be much more powerful than comparab ..."

KLEE: Unassisted and Automatic Generation of High-Coverage Tests for Complex Systems Programs

We used KLEE to thoroughly check all 89 stand-alone programs in the GNU COREUTILS utility suite, which form the cor ..."
