Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarkov Regime Switching Modelling and Analysis of Socially Responsible Investment FundsEduardo D. Roca, Victor S.H. Wong, Gurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: An increasing proportion of Australian superannuation funds are being placed in Socially Responsible Investments (SRI). Yet, there is no clarity in the literature as regards the risk and return characteristics of these investments and how their performance is affected by different states of the market and sector. Approach: We examine the sensitivity of Australian SRI Funds to movements … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Boundary Detection of Wall Motion in Two-dimensional Echocardiography ImagesFaten Abed Ali Dawood, Rahmita Wirza Rahmat, Mohd Zamrin Dimon et al.Problem statement: Medical image analysis is a particularly difficult problem because the inherent characteristics of these images, including low contrast, speckle noise, signal dropouts and complex anatomical structures. An accurate analysis of wall motion in Two-dimensional echocardiography images is “important clinical diagnosis parameter for many cardiovascular diseases”. A challenge most researchers faced is how to speed up the clinical decisions … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 8,192 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Appearance based Method for Eye Gaze TrackingS. V. Sheela, P. A. VijayaProblem statement: Gaze estimation systems compute the direction of eye gaze based on observed eye movements. The need for gaze-contingent applications is the basis of the current research work. The gaze pointing systems is a substitute for the existing input devices. Approach: The gaze tracking methods are either feature based or appearance based. In this study, an appearance based approach … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 15 Jul 2011 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Markov Chains to Stock TrendsKevin J. Doubleday, Julius N. EsungeProblem statement: Modeling of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is frequently attempted in order to determine trading strategies with maximum payoff. Changes in the DJIA are important since movements may affect both individuals and corporations profoundly. Previous work showed that modeling a market as a random walk was valid and that a market may be viewed as having the Markov … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 8,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Head positioning using Fixed Center Interpolation Net with Weight Elimination AlgorithmMahmoud Zaki IskandaraniA reliable algorithm for head movements inside a vehicle is designed. The proposed algorithm allowed the adjustment of basic functions such as indicators, mirrors and reverse lights based on the driver final head position. The algorithm system mapped a predefined coordinates for driver’s head that resulted in a computable geometry via a sensory system which is fed to the vehicle … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Block-Based Multi-Scale Background Extraction AlgorithmSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: To extract the moving objects, vision-based surveillance systems subtract the current image from a predefined background image. The efficiency of these systems mainly depends on accuracy of the extracted background image. It should be able to adapt to the changes continuously. In addition, especially in real-time applications the time complexity of this adaptation is a critical matter. Approach: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHead Gesture Analysis using Matrix Group Displacement AlgorithmMahmoud Z. IskandaraniA novel algorithm for head gestures interpretation is designed and tested. The designed system carries out gesture detection and recognition using the MGDA algorithm, which implements random sampling and importance sampling, such technique can track head poses and estimate head positions. Problem statement: Head position is an important indicator of a person’s focus of attention, which can be used as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
