We present two solutions for the scale selection problem in computer vision. The rst one is completely nonparametric and is based on the the adaptive estimation of the normalized ...
Existing estimation approaches for spatial databases often rely on the assumption that data distribution in a small region is uniform, which seldom holds in practice. Moreover, the...
Statistical selection procedures can identify the best of a finite set of alternatives, where “best” is defined in terms of the unknown expected value of each alternative’...
