Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Invariant Translation to Denoise Electroencephalogram SignalsJanett Walters-Williams, Yan LiProblem statement: Because of the distance between the skull and the brain and their different resistivity's, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings on a machine is usually mixed with the activities generated within the area called noise. EEG signals have been used to diagnose major brain diseases such as Epilepsy, narcolepsy and dementia. The presence of these noises however can result in misdiagnosis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Noises on the Analysis of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In speech communication, noises from surrounding environments affect the communication quality with various aspects. The received speech quality should be analyzed to see how the important noises reduce the speech quality so that we can eliminate them in an appropriate way. Approach: This study presents a study on the analysis of the noise effects on Thai speech. Four … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,827 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Modification of the Ridge Type Regression EstimatorsMoawad El-Fallah Abd El-SalamProblem statement: Many regression estimators have been used to remedy multicollinearity problem. The ridge estimator has been the most popular one. However, the obtained estimate is biased. Approach: In this stuyd, we introduce an alternative shrinkage estimator, called modified unbiased ridge (MUR) estimator for coping with multicollinearity problem. This estimator is obtained from Unbiased Ridge Regression (URR) in the same … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,638 accessesView PDFCite
