Robust Cyclic MUSIC Algorithm for Finding Directions in Impulsive Noise Environment by Sen Li, Xiaojing Chen, Rongxi He

“…Since α-stable distribution does not have finite second-order statistics, the conventional cyclic correlation-based signal-selective direction finding algorithms do not work effectively. …”

Comparison of Quadratic- and Median-Based Roughness Penalties for Penalized-Likelihood Sinogram Restoration in Computed Tomography by Patrick J. La Rivière, Junguo Bian, Phillip A. Vargas

“…We compared the approaches to a noniterative adaptive filter that loosely but not explicitly models data statistics. We found that the two approaches produced similar resolution-variance tradeoffs to each other and that they outperformed the adaptive filter in the low-dose regime, which suggests that the particular choice of penalty in our approach may be less important than the fact that we are explicitly modeling data statistics at all. …”

Orchard Establishment Budget for Peaches and Nectarines in Florida by Mercy Olmstead, Kim Morgan

“…Although the National Agriculture Statistics Service does not keep annual production and acreage statistics for peaches because of the industry’s small size, a recent poll revealed just over 670 acres in Florida, with about 700 unreported acres (Table 1) (Morgan and Olmstead 2013). …”

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index: Harmonised level estimates and their changes over time by Nicolai Suppa, Usha Kanagaratnam

“…The database contains estimates for the MPI itself (the adjusted headcount ratio); related partial indices such as headcount ratio, intensity, indicator-specific indices, and several auxiliary statistics; and changes over time for most quantities. …”

DCA-Based Real-Time Residual Useful Life Prediction for Critical Faulty Component by Funa Zhou, Jiayu Wang, Yulin Gao

“…The innovation of this paper is as follows: (1) Wavelet filtering based method is developed for early detection of slowly varying fault. (2) Designated component analysis is introduced as a feature extraction tool to define the fault precursor of a specific component. (3) Exponential life prediction model is established by nonlinear fitting of the historical RUL and the fault size characterized by the statistics used. Once online detection statistics is obtained, real-time RUL of the critical component can be predicted online. …”
