Neuro-Fuzzy Models For Classification And Rule Generation., Sushmita Mitra Dr. Oct 1995

Neuro-Fuzzy Models For Classification And Rule Generation., Sushmita Mitra Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Machine recognition [1, 2] of patterns can be viewed as a two-fold task, consisting of learning the invariant and common properties of a set of samples characterizing a class, and of deciding a new sample as a possible member of the class by noting that it has properties common to those of the set of samples. In other words, pattern recognition by computers can be described as a transformation from the measurenment space M to the feature space F and finally to the decision space D (1), i.e., M ⟶F⟶D.Here, the mapping 6 : F⟶D is the decision function and …


Essays In Dynamic Games., Saikat Datta Dr. Mar 1995

Essays In Dynamic Games., Saikat Datta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis contains four essays which broadly come under the area of Dynamic Games. All the essays involve developments or applications of non-cooperative equilibrium concepts to games played over infinite horizons. The two essays in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 involve the concept of renegotiation proof equilibriain repeated games. The essay in Chapter 4 discusses how a social norm of slow building of trust in bilateral relationships can be understood as a social equi- librium even in the absence of asymmetric information problems. Chapter 5, which represents joint work with Prabal Raychaudhuri, applies non-cooperative bargaining theory to a context where …


Asymptotic Properties Of Posterior Distributions And Study Of Some Nonregular Cases., Subhashis Ghosal Dr. Feb 1995

Asymptotic Properties Of Posterior Distributions And Study Of Some Nonregular Cases., Subhashis Ghosal Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The asymptotic approach to statistical estimation is frequently adopted be cause of ita general applicability and relative simplicity. The modern study of asymptotic theory, initiated in Le Cam (1953), has undergone a vigorous devel- opment through the classic works of Le Cam, Hájek, Bahadur, Ibragimov and Has'minskii (Khas'minskii), Bickel, Pfanzagl, Millar and many other scholars; see Le Cam (1986), Le Cam and Yang (1990), Ibragimov and Has'minskii (1981) and the review article by Ghosh (1985) for an account of this development.Most of the results in asymptotic theory of estimation are obtained under the classical Cramér-Rao type regularity conditions or their …
