Robust recovery of missing data in electricity distribution systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The advanced operation of future electricity distribution systems is likely to require significant observability of the different parameters of interest (e.g., demand, voltages, currents, etc.). Ensuring completeness of data is, therefore, paramount.

Where's the beef? The feminisation of weight‐loss dieting in Britain and Scandinavia c.1890–1925

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
Abstract Representations of the slim body have traditionally been at the centre of scholarly interest in dieting culture, whereas food often remains a shadowy presence compared with more persistent themes of body discipline, slenderness and anti‐fat messages.

Hybrid Transform Based Denoising with Block Thresholding

open access: yesمجلة كلية التربية للبنات, 2019
A frequently used approach for denoising is the shrinkage of coefficients of the noisy signal representation in a transform domain. This paper proposes an algorithm based on hybrid transform (stationary wavelet transform proceeding by slantlet transform);

Generalized SURE for Exponential Families: Applications to Regularization

open access: yes, 2008
Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) was proposed by Stein for the independent, identically distributed (iid) Gaussian model in order to derive estimates that dominate least-squares (LS).

Complementarity in alliances: How strategic compatibility and hierarchy promote efficient cooperation in international security

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Stein's unbiased risk estimate and Hyvärinen's score matching

open access: yes
Given a collection of observed signals corrupted with Gaussian noise, how can we learn to optimally denoise them? This fundamental problem arises in both empirical Bayes and generative modeling. In empirical Bayes, the predominant approach is via nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE), while in generative modeling, score matching (SM ...

Adaptive Monotone Shrinkage for Regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We develop an adaptive monotone shrinkage estimator for regression models with the following characteristics: i) dense coefficients with small but important effects; ii) a priori ordering that indicates the probable predictive importance of the features.

Adaptive density estimation for stationary processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We propose an algorithm to estimate the common density $s$ of a stationary process $X_1,...,X_n$. We suppose that the process is either $\beta$ or $\tau$-mixing.

Addressing environmental misperceptions for nature recovery

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A poorly understood and systemic challenge to global conservation agreements is shifting baseline syndrome (SBS), wherein people misperceive the extent to which nature has changed. This can diminish societal expectations for nature recovery. We broadened the conceptual framing of SBS beyond the more common elements of nature loss to include ...

Comparative Study of Image Denoising Using Wavelet Transforms and Optimal Threshold and Neighbouring Window

open access: yesمجلة كلية التربية للبنات, 2019
NeighShrink is an efficient image denoising algorithm based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Its disadvantage is to use a suboptimal universal threshold and identical neighbouring window size in all wavelet subbands.
