Bibliometric Study of the Efficiency of Public Expenditure on Education

open access: yesRevista CEA, 2020
This bibliometric study analyzes the literature on the efficiency of public education expenditure using two types of bibliometric indicators: quantity (number of publications) and quality (impact by year, author, and journal).

Nonparametric Clustering of Mixed Data Using Modified Chi-Squared Tests

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
We propose a non-parametric method to cluster mixed data containing both continuous and discrete random variables. The product space of the continuous and discrete sample space is transformed into a new product space based on adaptive quantization on the

Non-Parametric Probabilistic Image Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We propose a simple probabilistic generative model for image segmentation. Like other probabilistic algorithms (such as EM on a Mixture of Gaussians) the proposed model is principled, provides both hard and probabilistic cluster assignments, as well ...

Bayesian, Likelihood-Free Modelling of Phenotypic Plasticity and Variability in Individuals and Populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
There is a paradigm shift from the traditional focus on the “average” individual towards the definition and analysis of trait variation within individual life-history and among individuals in populations.

Explaining predictive models using Shapley values and non-parametric vine copulas

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2021
In this paper the goal is to explain predictions from complex machine learning models. One method that has become very popular during the last few years is Shapley values.

Infinite factorization of multiple non-parametric views [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Combined analysis of multiple data sources has increasing application interest, in particular for distinguishing shared and source-specific aspects. We extend this rationale of classical canonical correlation analysis into a flexible, generative and non ...

Genome-wide search for strabismus susceptibility loci. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The purpose of this study was to search for chromosomal susceptibility loci for comitant strabismus. Genomic DNA was isolated from 10mL blood taken from each member of 30 nuclear families in which 2 or more siblings are affected by either esotropia or ...

Non-parametric free-form optimization of shell structures for reducing the sound pressure in a closed space

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
This paper describes a parameter-free free-form optimization method for shell structures to reduce the noise in a closed acoustic field. Squared sound pressure, which is evaluated by solving fully coupled shell-acoustic interaction system, is selected as

Non-Parametric Clustering Using Deep Neural Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In this paper, a novel algorithm for non-parametric image clustering, is proposed. Non-parametric clustering methods operate by considering the number of clusters unknown as opposed to parametric clustering, where the number of clusters is known a priori.

Non-Parametric Function Fitting

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1972
Summary In this note we consider the problem of fitting a general functional relationship between two variables. We require only that the function to be fitted is, in some sense, “smooth”, and do not assume that it has a known mathematical form involving only a finite number of unknown parameters.
