Experimental Queueing Analysis with Long-Range Dependent Packet Traffic

by Ashok Erramilli, Onuttom Narayan, Walter Willinger - IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking , 1996
"... Recent traffic measurement studies from a wide range of working packet networks have convincingly established the presence of significant statistical features that are characteristic of fractal traffic processes, in the sense that these features span many time scales. Of particular interest in packe ..."

In addition, we give conditions under which the use of compact and simple traffic models that incorporate long-range dependence in a parsimonious manner (e.g., fractional Brownian motion

WHY MERGE REALLY IS AUTONOMOUS AND PARSIMONIOUS

by James M. Mcqueen, Anne Cutler, Dennis Norris
"... We briefly describe the Merge model of phonemic decision-making, and, in the light of general arguments about the possible role of feedback in spoken-word recognition, defend Merge's feedforward structure. Merge not only accounts adequately for the data, without invoking feedback connections, b ..."

Parsimonious flooding in dynamic graphs

by Hervé Baumann, Pierluigi Crescenzi, Pierre Fraigniaud - In Proc. of 28th Symp. on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC , 2009
"... An edge-Markovian process with birth-rate p and death-rate q generates sequences of graphs (G0, G1, G2,...) with the same node set [n] such that Gt is obtained from Gt−1 as follows: if e / ∈ E(Gt−1) then e ∈ E(Gt) with probability p, and if e ∈ E(Gt−1) then e / ∈ E(Gt) with probability q. Clementi e ..."

Hence we al! so show that flooding in dynamic graphs can be implemented in a more parsimonious manner, so that to save bandwidth, yet preserving efficiency in term of simplicity and completion time. For a positive integer k, we say that the flooding protocol is k-active if each node

Between complexity and parsimony: limited diversity, counterfactual cases, and comparative analysis

by Charles C. Ragin, John Sonnett - In: Kropp, S., Minkenberg, M. (Eds.), Vergleichen , 2005
"... Counterfactual analysis has a long and distinguished history in comparative research. To some, counterfactual analysis is central to comparative inquiry because such research typically embraces only a handful of empirical cases (Fearon 1991). If there are only a few instances (e.g., of revolution), ..."

GaGa: a Parsimonious and Flexible Hierarchical Model for Microarray Data Analysis

by David Rossell
"... Bayesian hierarchical models are attractive for microarray data since they allow sharing information across genes and across different analyses in a coherent manner. Kendziorski et al. (2003) and Newton et al. (2004) introduced the gamma-gamma hierarchical model. The model parsimoniously describes t ..."

Parsimony Analysis – a Novel Method of Structured Knowledge Representation for Teaching Computer Science

by S P Maj (corresponding, D Veal
"... Knowledge may be structured in a manner that may either handicap or improve learning outcomes. Knowledge construction is therefore an important aspect of the learning and assessment process. This paper is primarily concerned with structural knowledge (knowing how) of which there are numerous represe ..."

Failed Refutations: Further Comments on Parsimony and Likelihood Methods and Their Relationship to Popper’s Degree of Corroboration

by Kevin De, Queiroz, Steven Poe
"... Abstract. — Kluge’s (2001, Syst. Biol. 50:322–330) continued arguments that phylogenetic methods based on the statistical principle of likelihood are incompatible with the philosophy of science described by Karl Popper are based on false premises related to Kluge’s misrepresentations of Popper’s phi ..."

Both parsimony and likelihood methods assume (in the sense of implying by the manner in which they operate) various things about evolutionary processes, although

Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

Implicit learning of tonality: A self-organizing approach

by Barbara Tillmann, Jamshed J. Bharucha, Emmanuel Bigand, Universit De Bourgogne - Psychological Review , 2000
"... Tonal music is a highly structured system that is ubiquitous in our cultural environment. We demonstrate the acquisition of implicit knowledge of tonal structure through neural self-organization resulting from mere exposure to simultaneous and sequential combinations of tones. In the process of lear ..."

After learning, the network was run through a range of experiments from the literature. The model provides a parsimonious account of a variety of empirical findings dealing

Modeling Term Structure Dynamics: An Infinite Dimensional Approach.

by Rama Cont, F- Palaiseau France , 1999
"... We present a family of models for term structure dynamics in an attempt to describe several statistical features observed in empirical studies of forward rate curves by decomposing the deformations of the term structure into the variations of the short rate, the long rate and the fluctuations of ..."
