Therefore, the incomplete pairwise distance matrix can be considered as an irreducible matrix from a larger, global distance matrix for a distributed network of nodes.
K. Y. Foo et al. present a relative-localization algorithm using incomplete pairwise distance measurements for underwater applications.
A robust approach for relative location estimation is presented, based upon a minimization method known as iterative majorization, which allows the estimation of relative coordinates using an incomplete pairwise distance matrix.
Both the MDSInit and RandInit approaches are shown to have comparable minimization performance in terms of error from the actual distances, while the MDSInit approach has a lower tolerance to incomplete pairwise distances.
The focus of this work is on a majorization-MDS algorithm for the relative localization of underwater sensors, or nodes, by using only incomplete inter-node distance measurements, given no other a priori information.
However, the input specificity of LTP may be incomplete at short distances.
For those with incomplete EZ development, the distance from the foveal center was less in term infants (mean 492 microns) compared to preterm infants (mean 783 microns).
The ectolophid is well-developed and incomplete and extends a short distance from the distal side of the protoconid in the direction of the entoconid; it does not connect to the hypoconid as it does more generalized hystricognaths.
After exclusions for missing distance data and incomplete sets, there were 29 081 complete matched case control pairs.
Both a relatively high inter-marker distance and an incomplete genome assembly contribute to the uncertainty of this analysis, and conclusions should be drawn with care.
This would make the Tree of Life look fuzzy up close but not change it at a distance (just as incomplete sorting of alleles shortly after speciation or a limited amount of within-genus hybridization will not confuse relationships between major groups of animals, say).
