Query Of Image Content Using Wavelets And Gibbs-Markov Random Fields, Imtiaz Hossain
Query Of Image Content Using Wavelets And Gibbs-Markov Random Fields, Imtiaz Hossain
LSU Master's Theses
The central theme of this thesis is the application of Wavelets and Random Processes to content-based image query (on texture patterns, in particular). Given a query image, a content-based search extracts a certain representative measure (or signature) from the query image and likewise for all the target images in the search archive. A good representative measure is one that provides us with the ability to differentiate easily between different patterns. A distance measure is computed between the query properties and the properties of each of the target images. The lowest distance measure gives us the best target match for the …
A Meta-Analysis Of Randomness In Human Behavioral Research, Summer Ann Armstrong
A Meta-Analysis Of Randomness In Human Behavioral Research, Summer Ann Armstrong
LSU Master's Theses
This work analyzes the concept of randomness in binary sequences from three different perspectives: mathematically, statistically, and psychologically and examines the research on human perception of randomness and the question of whether or not humans can simulate random behavior. Generally, research shows that human subjects have great difficulty producing random sequences, even when they are instructed and motivated. We survey some of the literature and present some leading theoretical proposals. Finally, we present some basic statistical tests that can be used to evaluate randomness in a given binary sequence.
On Qualitative Properties And Convergence Of Time-Discretization Methods For Semigroups, Mihaly Kovacs
On Qualitative Properties And Convergence Of Time-Discretization Methods For Semigroups, Mihaly Kovacs
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In this dissertation we use functional calculus methods to investigate convergence and qualitative properties of time-discretization methods for strongly continuous semigroups. Stability, convergence, and preservation of contractivity (or norm-bound) of the semigroup under time-discretization is investigated in a Banach space setting. Preservation of positivity, concavity and other qualitative shape properties which can be described via positivity are treated in a Banach lattice framework. The use of the Hille-Phillips (H-P) functional calculus instead of the Dunford-Taylor functional calculus allows us to extend fundamental qualitative results concerning time-discretization methods and simplify their proofs, including results on multi-step schemes and variable step-sizes. We …
Class Groups And Norms Of Units, Costel Ionita
Class Groups And Norms Of Units, Costel Ionita
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Our object of study is relative quadratic extensions of algebraic number fields. In 'Class Number Parity', the authors P.E. Conner and J. Hurrelbrink study in detail the cases of real and CM-extensions. In this paper we generalize some of the results without any assumption on the type of the relative quadratic extension.
The Radon-Gauss Transform, Vochita Mihai
The Radon-Gauss Transform, Vochita Mihai
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Gaussian measure is constructed for any given hyperplane in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space, and this is used to define a generalization of the Radon transform to the infinite dimensional setting, using Gauss measure instead of Lebesgue measure. An inversion formula is obtained and a support theorem proved.
Which Mean Do You Mean?: An Exposition On Means, Mabrouck K. Faradj
Which Mean Do You Mean?: An Exposition On Means, Mabrouck K. Faradj
LSU Master's Theses
The objective of this thesis is to give a brief exposition on the theory of means. In Greek mathematics, means are intermediate values between two extremes, while in modern mathematics, a mean is a measure of the central tendency for a set of numbers. We begin by exploring the origin of the antique means and list the classical means. Next, we present an overview of the theories of binary means and n-ary means. We include a general discussion on axiomatic systems for means and present theorems on properties that characterize the most common types of means.
Cox Regression Model, Lindsay Sarah Smith
Cox Regression Model, Lindsay Sarah Smith
LSU Master's Theses
Cox, in 1972, came up with the Cox Regression Model to deal handle failure time data. This work presents background information leading up to the Cox's regression model for censored survival data. The marginal and partial likelihood approaches to estimate the parameters in this model are presented in detail. The estimation techniques of the hazard and survivor functions are explained. All of these ideas are illustrated using data from the Veteran’s Administration lung cancer study.

Orbit Structure On The Silov Boundary Of A Tube Domain And The Plancherel Decomposition Of A Causally Compact Symmetric Space, With Emphasis On The Rank One Case, Troels Roussau Johansen
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
We construct a G-equivariant causal embedding of a compactly causal symmetric space G/H as an open dense subset of the Silov boundary S of the unbounded realization of a certain Hermitian symmetric space G1/K1 of tube type. Then S is an Euclidean space that is open and dense in the flag manifold G1/P', where P' denotes a certain parabolic subgroup of G1. The regular representation of G on L2(G/H) is thus realized on L2(S), and we use abelian harmonic analysis in the study thereof. In particular, …
Asymptotic Laplace Transforms, Claudiu Mihai
Asymptotic Laplace Transforms, Claudiu Mihai
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In this work we discuss certain aspects of the classical Laplace theory that are relevant for an entirely analytic approach to justify Heaviside's operational calculus methods. The approach explored here suggests an interpretation of the Heaviside operator ${cdot}$ based on the "Asymptotic Laplace Transform." The asymptotic approach presented here is based on recent work by G. Lumer and F. Neubrander on the subject. In particular, we investigate the two competing definitions of the asymptotic Laplace transform used in their works, and add a third one which we suggest is more natural and convenient than the earlier ones given. We compute …
