Probability Mass Function-Based Adaptive Median Filtering for Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging: A Feasibility Study [PDF]
Among ultrasound images, the acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) image can provide information about the stiffness of the tissue using both a pushing beam and a detection beam. However, there is a problem in that the impulse noise is generated in the

On Underdispersed Count Kernels for Smoothing Probability Mass Functions [PDF]
Only a few count smoothers are available for the widespread use of discrete associated kernel estimators, and their constructions lack systematic approaches. This paper proposes the mean dispersion technique for building count kernels. It is only applicable to count distributions that exhibit the underdispersion property, which ensures the convergence ...

Ordered Probability Mass Function [PDF]
Suppose that in the four tests Alice's scores are 90, 95, 85, 90, and Bob's scores are 85, 95, 90, 90. How to evaluate their scores? In this paper, we introduce the concept of ordered probability mass function which can be used to find a probability mass function with smaller variance.

Factorization of joint probability mass functions into parity check interactions [PDF]
We show that any joint probability mass function (PMF) can be expressed as a product of parity check factors and factors of degree one with the help of some auxiliary variables, if the alphabet size is appropriate for defining a parity check equation.

Numerical Approximation of Probability Mass Functions via the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform [PDF]
First passage distributions of semi-Markov processes are of interest in fields such as reliability, survival analysis, and many others. The problem of finding or computing first passage distributions is, in general, quite challenging. We take the approach of using characteristic functions (or Fourier transforms) and inverting them, to numerically ...

Kernel Smoothed Probability Mass Functions for Ordered Datatypes [PDF]
We propose a kernel function for ordered categorical data that overcomes limitations present in ordered kernel functions appearing in the literature on the estimation of probability mass functions for multinomial ordered data. Some limitations arise from assumptions made about the support of the underlying random variable.

Dynamic Image Sampling Using a Novel Variance Based Probability Mass Function [PDF]
Incremental sampling can be applied in scientific imaging techniques whenever the measurements are taken incrementally, i.e., one pixel position is measured at a time. It can be used to reduce the measurement time as well as the dose impinging onto a specimen.
