We present a region-based active contour approach to segmenting masses in digital mammograms. The algorithm developed in a Maximum Likelihood approach is based on the calculation o...
: Phylogenetic search is a key tool used in a variety of biological research endeavors. However, this search problem is known to be computationally difficult, due to the astronomic...
Abstract In many statistical problems, maximum likelihood estimation by an EM or MM algorithm suffers from excruciatingly slow convergence. This tendency limits the application of ...
We describe a methodology to assist scientists in quantifying the degree of evidence in favor of a new proposed theory compared to a standard baseline theory. The figure of merit ...
