Kevin Ariën, the lead author of the paper, stresses that the study is based on a small set of samples and does not prove that HIV's virulence is attenuating around the world.
This approach tends to provide a dense set of samples and has interesting theoretical convergence properties.
Particle filters are tools that generate this set of samples and the corresponding estimation of the posterior distribution.
In statistics we interpret $S$ as the set of samples, and we can associate sets $R$ with specific events or observations.
The traditional-approach requires only one set of samples and uses a single reference 137Cs level, determined off-site, for the whole site.
To check the robustness of our findings, we tested a larger set of samples and a wider time period in two ways.
She says that having "a robust set of samples and a robust set of data" is already providing insights that can't be gleaned from smaller studies, such as delineating clinical subtypes of gliomas based on epigenetics.
Given a set of feature correspondences tracked through an image sequence, the joint posterior distributions of both camera extrinsic and intrinsic parameters as well as the scene structure are approximated by a set of samples and their corresponding weights.
In the numerical process, a space-filling scheme is used to generate the initial set of samples, and then an incremental method based on the maximin principle is established to select more samples from all candidates.
Design of a malware classification system capable of supporting a large set of samples and adaptable to model changes at runtime is required to identify the high number of malware variants.
The results agree very well with small angle X-ray scattering measurements of the same set of samples, and confirm that void generation is the main characteristic of the initiation process.
