The watermarking algorithms discussed, designed and implemented in this article belong to the class of blind algorithms [12, 19, 31 44] which means that (unlike the non-blind watermarking algorithms [45, 46]) the originally image is not consulted at the time of the detection or decoding of the watermark.
This was done to show that the PSO implemented in this article only finds a stable equilibrium solution and not the global optimum, as increasing the dimensionality of the problem makes it harder for the PSO, i.e., PSO with unconstrained backhauling, FBH, yielded a slightly poor solution compared to the PSO with constrained backhauling (LBH), when the objective function was sum rate maximization.
The latter case is the one we implemented in this article, where diagnosis was assigned only four categories (crisp values) of severity (no-injury, mild, moderate and ARDS).
The strategy implemented in this article to select an appropriate k value was performed by Monte Carlo validation, maximizing the percentage of the test samples considered within the AD, i.e. satisfying AD criterion (Equation 5).
The main concept of radar data processing implemented in this article is shown in Figure 1, where 1,…,M are the M input segments.
The elliptic wavevector spectrum (Carbone et al. 1995; Narita 2014) is implemented in this article.
Contrarily, EMD and WT as implemented in this article process each electrode separately.
Furthermore, the decomposition procedures described in this article are implemented in the computer algebra system ALLTYPES that is available in the internet [19].
All splits-based algorithms discussed in this article are implemented in the program SplitsTree4 (Huson and Bryant 2006).
Availability: The algorithms described in this article are implemented in the open-source software modeling platform BIOCHAM available at http://contraintes.inria.fr/biocham The models used in the experiments are available from http://www.biomodels.net/ Contact: [email protected] Biologists use diagrams to represent interactions between molecular species.
