Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a commonly used technique for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. In this study, we developed a fully computer-supported pipeline to predict both the cage height and the degree of lumbar lordosis subtract ...
Generalized additive models (GAMs) are regression models wherein parameters of probability distributions depend on input variables through a sum of smooth functions, whose degrees of smoothness are selected by L-2 regularization. Such models have become th ...
Delay-constrained streaming from a moving platform is of paramount importance for applications such as the remote control of drones, where a low-delay video stream is required in order to provide visual feedback to the pilot while providing high quality vi ...
This paper presents a non-asymptotic upper bound for the estimation error of the constrained lasso, under the high-dimensional (n≪p) setting. In contrast to existing results, the error bound in this paper is sharp, is valid when the parameter to be e ...
We propose a preliminary investigation on the benefits and limitations of classifiers based on sparse representations. We specifically focus on the union of subspaces data model and examine binary classifiers built on a sparse non linear mapping (in a redu ...
The spatial distribution of alpine snow covers is characterised by large variability. Taking this variability into account is important for many tasks including hydrology, glaciology, ecology or natural hazards. Statistical modelling is frequently applied ...
We provide a tight approximate characterization of the n-dimensional product multicommodity flow (PMF) region for a wireless network of n nodes. Separate characterizations in terms of the spectral properties of appropriate network graphs are obtained in bo ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree based communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total trans- mission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink nod ...
