Nonparametric Estimation of the Joint Distribution of Survival Time and Mark variables2008 - 04 - 15 (Tue.)
13:30 - 15:00
405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)An overview of the paper 〝Nonparametric Estimation of the Joint Distribution of Survival Time and Mark variables〞by Huang and Louis (1998) is given. They established a representation of the joint distribution function through the cumulative marker-specific hazard function and proposed nonparametric estimators. The finite and large-sample properties of the estimators are also developed. A possible research topic and extension will be explored in this talk.

Application of Time Frequency Transformation in Medical and Biological Engineering
Prof. Yih-Nen Jeng ( Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Cheng Kung University )2008 - 04 - 11 (Fri.)
13:30 - 14:30
405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)The talk will introduce how to remove the non-sinusoidal part of a continuous data string. The procedure to obtain a Fourier sine or cosine spectrum via a monotonic cubic interpolation will be shown too. Next, the Fourier sine spectrogram, which is a time frequency transformation generated from the Fourier sine spectrum, is theoretically compared with the existing short time Fourier transform and continuous wavelet transform. Finally, both the spectrum and spectrogram are employed to examine ECG and ABP data of several typical cases. Meanwhile, a sonocardiography system to sense wrist pulse is employed to take data and then analyzed by the Fourier sine spectrogram.

Average performance of the sparsest approximation using a dictionary
Prof. Mila Nikolova ( Centre de Mathématiques et de Leurs Applications, ENS Cachan )2008 - 04 - 11 (Fri.)
10:30 - 11:20
405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)We consider the minimization of the number of non-zero coefficients (the ℓ0 norm) of the representation of a data set in terms of a dictionary under a fidelity constraint. (Both the dictionary and the norm defining the constraint are arbitrary.) This (non-convex) optimization problem naturally leads to the sparsest representations, compared with other objectives. Our goal is to measure the sets of data yielding a K-sparse or sparser solution - i.e. involving at most K non-zero components. Data are assumed uniformly distributed on a domain defined by a norm. Relevant bounds on the Lebesgue measure of these sets are derived. They naturally lead to bound the probability of getting a K-sparse (or sparser) solution. We specify these results in the case of the Euclidian norm and an arbitrary dictionary. Then we specialize the problem to orthogonal bases (e.g. splines or wavelets) and focus on popular choices for the two norms. We get sharper bounds that are easy to compute. These results have a considerable theoretical and practical importance.
