Determination of Load Equivalency Factors by Statistical Analysis of Weigh-In-Motion Data
The load equivalency factors for pavement design currently in use by the Hungarian standard have been developed using Weigh-in-Motion data obtained during the first few years of operations after installing some 30 measuring sites in Hungary in 1996.

Evidential-EM Algorithm Applied to Progressively Censored Observations [PDF]
Evidential-EM (E2M) algorithm is an effective approach for computing maximum likelihood estimations under finite mixture models, especially when there is uncertain information about data.

On the Estimation of Nonrandom Signal Coefficients from Jittered Samples [PDF]
This paper examines the problem of estimating the parameters of a bandlimited signal from samples corrupted by random jitter (timing noise) and additive iid Gaussian noise, where the signal lies in the span of a finite basis.

Classical simulation of infinite-size quantum lattice systems in two spatial dimensions [PDF]
We present an algorithm to simulate two-dimensional quantum lattice systems in the thermodynamic limit. Our approach builds on the {\em projected entangled-pair state} algorithm for finite lattice systems [F. Verstraete and J.I.

Spatially multi-scale dynamic factor modeling via sparse estimation
In many spatio-temporal data, their spatial variations have inherent global and local structures. The spatially continuous dynamic factor model (SCDFM) decomposes the spatio-temporal data into a small number of spatial and temporal variations, where the ...

EM algorithms without missing data [PDF]
Most problems in computational statistics involve optimization of an objective function such as a loglikelihood, a sum of squares, or a log posterior function. The EM algorithm is one of the most effective algorithms for maximization because it iteratively transfers maximization from a complex function to a simple, surrogate function.

Parameter Learning of Logic Programs for Symbolic-Statistical Modeling
We propose a logical/mathematical framework for statistical parameter learning of parameterized logic programs, i.e. definite clause programs containing probabilistic facts with a parameterized distribution.
