Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are the most commonly used acoustic model for speech recognition. In HMMs, the probability of successive observations is assumed independent given the ...
Background: Growing interest on biological pathways has called for new statistical methods for modeling and testing a genetic pathway effect on a health outcome. The fact that gen...
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular tool for multiclass discriminative dimensionality reduction. However, LDA suffers from two major problems: (1) It only optimizes th...
