Path Planning Based on Parametric Curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Parametric curves are extensively used in engineering. The most commonly used parametric curves are, Bézier, B-splines, (NURBSs), and rational Bézier.

Minimum distance estimation of parametric Lorenz curves based on grouped data

open access: yes, 2020
The Lorenz curve, introduced more than 100 years ago, remains as one of the main tools for analysis of inequality. International institutions such as the World Bank collect and publish grouped income data in the form of population and income shares for a

Minimax properties of Fréchet means of discretely sampled curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study the problem of estimating a mean pattern from a set of similar curves in the setting where the variability in the data is due to random geometric deformations and additive noise.

Curves with rational chord-length parametrization

open access: yes, 2008
It has been recently proved that rational quadratic circles in standard Bezier form are parameterized by chord-length. If we consider that standard circles coincide with the isoparametric curves in a system of bipolar coordinates, this property comes as ...

A deconvolution approach to estimation of a common shape in a shifted curves model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper considers the problem of adaptive estimation of a mean pattern in a randomly shifted curve model. We show that this problem can be transformed into a linear inverse problem, where the density of the random shifts plays the role of a ...

Modelling Lorenz Curves: Robust and Semi-parametric Issues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Modelling Lorenz curves (LC) for stochastic dominance comparisons is central to the analysis of income distributions. It is conventional to use non-parametric statistics based on empirical income cumulants which are used in the construction of LC and ...

Progressive surface modeling scheme from unorganised curves

open access: yes, 2006
This paper presents a novel surface modelling scheme to construct a freeform surface progressively from unorganised curves representing the boundary and interior characteristic curves.

Carcinomas and Carcinoid Tumors of the Lungs and Bronchi in Children and Adolescents: The EXPeRT Recommendations

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary lung carcinomas and bronchial carcinoid tumors (BC) are very rare malignancies in childhood. While typical BC and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are mostly low‐grade, localized tumors with a more favorable prognosis than in adults, necessitating avoidance of overtreatment, adenocarcinomas of the lung are often diagnosed at advanced disease ...

Dynamic PDE parametric curves

open access: yes, 2008
Dynamic partial differential equation (PDE) parametric curves which can be expressed as a coupled system of two hyperbolic equations are developed. In curve design, dynamic PDE parametric curves can be modified intuitively and are more flexible than ...

Time Toxicity in Wilms Tumor: Quantifying the Burden of Healthcare Interaction in the First Year After Diagnosis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...
