A two-sample test statistic for high-dimensional multivariate data under non-normality
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ahmad, Ohlson, and von Rosen (2011a) present asymptotic distribution of a one-sample test statistic under non-normality, when the data are high dimensional, i.e., when the dimension of the vector, p, may exceed the sample size, n. This paper extends the case to a two-sample statistic to test the difference of mean vectors of two independent multivariate distributions, again under high-dimensional set up. Using the asymptotic theory of U-statistics, and under mild assumptions on the traces of the unknown covariance matrices, the statistic is shown to follow an approximate normal distribution when n and p are large. However, no relationship between n and p is assumed. An extension to the paired case is given, which, being essentially a one-sample statistic, supplements the asymptotic results obtained in Ahmad, Ohlson, and von Rosen (2011a).

A U-statistics Based Approach to Mean Testing for High Dimensional Multivariate Data Under Non-normality
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A test statistic is considered for testing a hypothesis for the mean vector for multivariate data, when the dimension of the vector, p, may exceed the number of vectors, n, and the underlying distribution need not necessarily be normal. With n, p large, and under mild assumptions, the statistic is shown to asymptotically follow a normal distribution. A by product of the paper is the approximate distribution of a quadratic form, based on the reformulation of well-known Box's approximation, under high-dimensional set up.

Some Tests of Covariance Matrices for High Dimensional Multivariate Data
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Test statistics for sphericity and identity of the covariance matrix are presented, when the data are multivariate normal and the dimension, p, can exceed the sample size, n. Using the asymptotic theory of U-statistics, the test statistics are shown to follow an approximate normal distribution for large p, also when p >> n. The statistics are derived under very general conditions, particularly avoiding any strict assumptions on the traces of the unknown covariance matrix. Neither any relationship between n and p is assumed. The accuracy of the statistics is shown through simulation results, particularly emphasizing the case when p can be much larger than n. The validity of the commonly used assumptions for high-dimensional set up is also briefly discussed.

High-order accurate difference schemes for the Hodgkin-Huxley equations
- 2012
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A novel approach for simulating potential propagation in neuronal branches with high accuracy is developed. The method relies on high-order accurate dierence schemes using the Summation-By-Parts operators with weak boundary and interface conditions applied to the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. This work is the rst demonstrating high accuracy for that equation. Several boundary conditions are considered including the non-standard one accounting for the soma presence, which is characterized by its own partial dierential equation. Well-posedness for the continuous problem as well as stability of the discrete approximation is proved for all the boundary conditions. Gains in terms of CPU times are observed when high-order operators are used, demonstrating the advantage of the high-order schemes for simulating potential propagation in large neuronal trees.

Quasistatic frictional contact problems with finitely many degrees of freedom.
- 1999
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the present paper results on existence and uniqueness of solutions to discrete frictional quasi-static unilateral contact problems are given under a condition that the coefficients of friction are smaller than a certain upper bound. This upper bound is defined in terms of an influence matrix for the contact nodes. The results of existence and uniqueness may be ordered into two classes depending on whether regularity conditions for the applied forces are imposed or not. For general loading which has a time derivative almost everywhere it is shown that a solution exists which satisfies governing equations for almost all times. Uniqueness of the solution has been shown only when the problem is restricted to two degrees of freedom. For a loading which is right piecewise analytic, additional results can be obtained. For instance, if each contact node has only two degrees of freedom a unique solution which satisfies governing equeations for all times exists. For the constructed solutions a priori estimates of the displacement field and its time derivate in terms of the applied forces are also given.

Global Search Strategies for Solving Multilinear Least-squares Problems
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The multilinear least-squares (MLLS) problem is an extension of the linear least-squares problem. The difference is that a multilinearoperator is used in place of a matrix-vector product. The MLLS istypically a large-scale problem characterized by a large number of local minimizers. It originates, for instance, from the design of filter networks. We present a global search strategy that allows formoving from one local minimizer to a better one. The efficiencyof this strategy isillustrated by results of numerical experiments performed forsome problems related to the design of filter networks.

Sparsity Optimization in Design of Multidimensional Filter Networks
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Filter networks is a powerful tool used for reducing the image processing time, while maintaining its reasonably high quality.They are composed of sparse sub-filters whose low sparsity ensures fast image processing.The filter network design is related to solvinga sparse optimization problem where a cardinality constraint bounds above the sparsity level.In the case of sequentially connected sub-filters, which is the simplest network structure of those considered in this paper, a cardinality-constrained multilinear least-squares (MLLS) problem is to be solved. If to disregard the cardinality constraint, the MLLS is typically a large-scale problem characterized by a large number of local minimizers. Each of the local minimizers is singular and non-isolated.The cardinality constraint makes the problem even more difficult to solve.An approach for approximately solving the cardinality-constrained MLLS problem is presented.It is then applied to solving a bi-criteria optimization problem in which both thetime and quality of image processing are optimized. The developed approach is extended to designing filter networks of a more general structure. Its efficiency is demonstrated by designing certain 2D and 3D filter networks. It is also compared with the existing approaches.
