Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Discrete-Time Hazard Model for Loans: Some Evidence from Italian Banking SystemGiambona FrancescaProblem statement: The probability of default, PD, is a crucial problem for banks. In the last years international accords (Basel, Basel 2 and Basel 3) have incentived banks to adopt objectives systems to evaluating and monitoring risk of default in order to predict PD for new loans based on borrower’s characteristics. The aim of this study is to introduce a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 7,394 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Multi-Scale Filtering to Initialize a Background Extraction ModelS. H. Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, N. A. Lili et al.Problem statement: Probability-based methods which usually work based on the saved history of each pixel are utilized severally in extracting a background image for moving detection systems. Probability-based methods suffer from a lack of information when the system first begins to work. The model should be initialized using an alternative accurate method. Approach: The use of a nonparametric filtering to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 May 2012 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Effective History-based Background Extraction SystemSeyed Hashem Davarpanah, Fatimah Khalid, Maryam GolchinProblem statement: In many visions-based surveillance systems, the first step is accomplished by detecting moving objects resulted from subtraction of the current captured frame from the extracted background. So, the results of these systems mainly depend on the accuracy of the background image. Approach: In this study, a proposed background extraction system is presented to model the background using a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 23 May 2012 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
