Video Quality Assessment Based on Structural Distortion Measurement

by Zhou Wang, Ligang Lu, Alan C. Bovik , 2004
"... Objective image and video quality measures play important roles in a variety of image and video processing applications, such as compression, communication, printing, analysis, registration, restoration, enhancement and watermarking. Most proposed quality assessment approaches in the literature are ..."

. The algorithm is tested on the video quality experts group (VQEG) Phase I FR-TV test data set.

Assessment of color video quality with singular value decomposition of complex matrix

by Fuqiang Zhang, Junli Li, Gang Chen, Jiaju Man - in International Conference on Information Assurance and Security , 2009
"... Abstract—Most proposed video quality assessment approaches in the literature are only applied to the luminance layer of frame. Others are applied to luminance and chrominance layers respectively and then pooling by means of grayscale image quality metrics. In this paper, we proposed a full-reference ..."

-reference objective video quality assessment called CMSVD, which treats luminance and chrominance parts as a whole and considers multiple factors of the human visual system(HVS) and video features. The algorithm is tested on the video quality experts group (VQEG) phase I FR-TV test data set. Experiments show

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 ..."

Lag length selection and the construction of unit root tests with good size and power

by Serena Ng, Pierre Perron - Econometrica , 2001
"... It is widely known that when there are errors with a moving-average root close to −1, a high order augmented autoregression is necessary for unit root tests to have good size, but that information criteria such as the AIC and the BIC tend to select a truncation lag (k) that is very small. We conside ..."

(1996). We also extend the M tests developed in Perron and Ng (1996) to allow for GLS detrending of the data. The MIC along with GLS detrended data yield a set of tests with desirable size and power properties.

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

motivated work behavior to develop; (b) the characteristics of jobs that can create these psychological states; and (c) the attributes of individuals that determine how positively a person will respond to a complex and challenging job. The model was tested for 658 employees who work on 62 different jobs

Bagging predictors

by LEO BREIMAN , 1996
"... Bagging predictors is a method for generating multiple versions of a predictor and using these to get an aggregated predictor. The aggregation averages over the versions when predicting a numerical outcome and does a plurality vote when predicting a class. The multiple versions are formed by making ..."

by making bootstrap replicates of the learning set and using these as new learning sets. Tests on real and simulated data sets using classification and regression trees and subset selection in linear regression show that bagging can give substantial gains in accuracy. The vital element is the instability

Muscle: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

by Robert C. Edgar - NUCLEIC ACIDS RES , 2004
"... We describe MUSCLE, a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Elements of the algorithm include fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function we call the logexpectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent r ..."

-dependent restricted partitioning. The speed and accuracy of MUSCLE are compared with T-Coffee, MAFFT and CLUSTALW on four test sets of reference alignments: BAliBASE, SABmark, SMART and a new benchmark, PREFAB. MUSCLE achieves the highest, or joint highest, rank in accuracy on each of these sets. Without refinement

Performance Pay and Productivity

by Edward P. Lazear - AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW , 2000
"... Much of the theory in personnel economics relates to effects of monetary incentives on output, but the theory was untested because appropriate data were unavailable. A new data set for the Safelite Glass Corporation tests the predictions that average productivity will rise, the firm will attract a m ..."

Comprehensive database for facial expression analysis

by Takeo Kanade, Jeffrey F. Cohn, Yingli Tian - in Proceedings of Fourth IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition
"... Within the past decade, significant effort has occurred in developing methods of facial expression analysis. Because most investigators have used relatively limited data sets, the generalizability of these various methods remains unknown. We describe the problem space for facial expression analysis, ..."

Application of Phylogenetic Networks in Evolutionary Studies

by Daniel H. Huson, David Bryant - SUBMITTED TO MBE 2005 , 2005
"... The evolutionary history of a set of taxa is usually represented by a phylogenetic tree, and this model has greatly facilitated the discussion and testing of hypotheses. However, it is well known that more complex evolutionary scenarios are poorly described by such models. Further, even when evoluti ..."
