The asymptotic validity of invariant procedures for the repeated measures model and multivariate linear model

Fairly general sufficient conditions are given to guarantee that invariant tests about means in the multivariate linear model and the repeated measures model have the correct asymptotic size when the normal assumption under which the tests are derived is relaxed. These conditions are the same as Huber's condition which guarantees asymptotic validity of the size of the F-test for the univariate linear model.     

On the loss of information due to fuzziness in experimental observations

The absence of exactness in the observation of the outcomes of a random experiment always entails a loss of information about the experimental distribution. This intuitive assertion will be formally proved in this paper by using a mathematical model involving the notions of fuzzy information and fuzzy information system (as intended by Tanaka, Okuda and Asai) and Zadeh's probabilistic definition. On the basis of this model we are first going to consider a family of measures of information enclosing some well-known measures, such as those defined by Kagan, Kullback-Leibler and Matusita, and then to establish methods for removing the loss of information due to fuzziness by increasing suitably the number of experimental observations.     

Solution of nonlinear optimal control problems in Hilbert spaces by means of linear programming techniques

Optimal control problems in Hilbert spaces are considered in a measure-theoretical framework. Instead of minimizing a functional defined on a class of admissible trajectory-control pairs, we minimize one defined on a set of measures; this set is defined by the boundary conditions and the differential equation of the problem. The new problem is an infinite-dimensionallinear programming problem; it is shown that it is possible to approximate its solution by that of a finite-dimensional linear program of sufficiently high dimensions, while this solution itself can be approximated by a trajectory-control pair. This pair may not be strictly admissible; if the dimensionality of the finite-dimensional linear program and the accuracy of the computations are high enough, the conditions of admissibility can be said to be satisfied up to any given accuracy. The value given by this pair to the functional measuring the performance criterion can be about equal to theglobal infimum associated with the classical problem, or it may be less than this number. It appears that this method may become a useful technique for the computation of optimal controls, provided the approximations involved are acceptable.     

Limit distributions and one-parameter groups of linear operators on Banach spaces

Let = {U_t: t > 0} be a strongly continuous one-parameter group of operators on a Banach space X and Q be any subset of a set (X) of all probability measures on X. By (Q; ) we denote the class of all limit measures of {U_tn(μ₁ * μ₂*…*μ_n)*δ_xn}, where {μ_n}Q, {x_n}X and measures U_tnμ_j (j=1, 2,…, n; N=1, 2,…) form an infinitesimal triangular array. We define classes L_m( ) as follows: L₀( )= ( (X); ), L_m( )= (L_m−1( ); ) for m=1, 2,… and L_∞( )=_m=0^∞L_m( ). These classes are analogous to those defined earlier by Urbanik on the real line. Probability distributions from L_m( ), m=0, 1, 2,…, ∞, are described in terms of their characteristic functionals and their generalized Poisson exponents and Gaussian covariance operators.     

On low order moments of the homodyned-K distribution

Fractional low order moments have been reported as beneficial for sampling computations using the K distribution. However, it has been recently pointed out that this it not the case for the homodyned-K distribution for a tissue discrimination problem. In this paper we show that such an statement is not fully justified. To that end, we follow a standard pattern recognition procedure both to determine class separability measures and to classify data with several classifiers. We conclude that the optimum order of the moments is intimately linked to the specific statistical properties of the tissues to be discriminated. Some ideas on how to choose the optimum order are discussed.

Non-expansive Mappings and Iterative Methods in Uniformly Convex Banach Spaces

In this article, we will investigate the properties of iterative sequence for non-expansive mappings and present several strong and weak convergence results of successive approximations to fixed points of non-expansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. The results presented in this article generalize and improve various ones concerned with constructive techniques for the fixed points of non-expansive mappings.
