Estimation of the Rate-Distortion Function [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2008 Motivated by questions in lossy data compression and by theoretical considerations, we examine the problem of estimating the rate-distortion function of an unknown (not necessarily discrete-valued) source from empirical data. Our focus is the behavior of

RAFFn relaxation rate functions [PDF]
Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2018 In the present study we derive expressions for relaxation rate functions due to dipolar interactions between identical spins in the rotating frames of rank greater than or equal to 3. The rotating frames are produced due to fictitious magnetic field as generated by amplitude and frequency modulated radiofrequency (RF) pulses operating in non-adiabatic ...

Ratings of Overall Olfactory Function [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2003 The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of self-reported ratings of olfactory function in 83 healthy subjects. Such ratings were compared with quantitative measures of olfactory function, as well as with ratings of nasal patency. In experiment 1 subjects rated olfactory function and nasal patency before olfactory testing, whereas in ...

Earnings Functions and Rates of Return [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 The internal rate of return to schooling is a fundamental economic parameter that is often used to assess whether expenditure on education should be increased or decreased. This article considers alternative approaches to estimating marginal internal rates of return for different schooling levels.

Functional ratings in sports [PDF]
Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports, 2020 Abstract In this paper, we present a new model for ranking sports teams. Our model uses all scoring data from all games to produce a functional rating by the method of least squares. The functional rating can be interpreted as a team average point differential adjusted for strength of schedule.

Comparison of Multiple Hazard Rate Functions [PDF]
Biometrics, 2015 Summary Many robust tests have been proposed in the literature to compare two hazard rate functions, however, very few of them can be used in cases when there are multiple hazard rate functions to be compared. In this article, we propose an approach for detecting the difference among multiple hazard rate functions.

Star Formation Rate Distributions: Inadequacy of the Schechter Function [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we posit that galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) come in two fundamentally different types depending on whether the luminosity traces galaxy stellar mass or its current star formation rate (SFR).

Periodic average magnitude difference function for remote heart rate monitoring
Electronics Letters, 2023 With the increasing attention on remote monitoring of human heart rate by radar, there is a need to develop a method that can estimate heart rate quickly and reliably.

Calculation of the Dangerous Failure Rate of the Safety Function
Applied Sciences, 2022 Each safety-related function must be implemented with a defined safety integrity level (SIL) if the control system implements safety-related functions (SFs) in addition to the standard control functions. The required SIL of the SF depends on the quantity
