The grade of membership (GoM) model uses fuzzy sets as memberships of each individual to extreme profiles (or classes) on the likelihood function of multivariate multinomial distr...
Finite mixtures of tree-structured distributions have been shown to be efficient and effective in modeling multivariate distributions. Using Dirichlet processes, we extend this ap...
In a Bayesian network with continuous variables containing a variable(s) that is a conditionally deterministic function of its continuous parents, the joint density function for t...
The Monte Carlo (MC) method is a simple but effective way to perform simulations involving complicated or multivariate functions. The QuasiMonte Carlo (QMC) method is similar but...
Abstract. This paper studies a statistical skin-color model and its adaptation. It is revealed that 1 human skin colors cluster in a small region in a color space; 2 the variance o...
