An Improved Gaussian Mixture Model-Based Data Normalization Method for Removing Environmental Effects on Damage Detection of Structures by Xue-Yang Pei, Hai-Bin Huang, Peng Cao

“…Next, on the basis of the constructed GMM, the modal frequency data are normalized to extract damage features that remain unaffected by environmental variations. Subsequently, Hotelling’s T2 statistic and its cumulative form are calculated for the damage features and designated as the damage indicators; meanwhile, the corresponding damage thresholds are also calculated according to the kernel density estimation technique. …”

UAV LiDAR expands the understanding of forest tree diversity by Jianyang Liu, Ying Quan, Guoqiang Zhao, Baozhong Yuan, Bin Wang, Mingze Li

“…The results revealed that (1) the diversity indices calculated with importance value correlate better with LiDAR features than with relative density; (2) among heterogeneity metrics, Rao’s Q outperformed the coefficient of variation (CV), and heterogeneity metrics overall performed better than structural features in estimating tree diversity; (3) the LiDAR data provided fine-scale structural information, with the highest accuracy for estimating tree diversity achieved at a 1 m spatial resolution; and (4) features from the cover category, including canopy cover (CC), cover of the herbaceous layer (CH), and cover of the tree layer (CT), demonstrated greater robustness and stronger correlations with tree diversity across different spatial resolutions. …”

STATISTICAL PROCESSING OF RESULTS OF TESTING OF STUDENTS by Yulia V. Gumennikova, Elena N. Ryabinova, Ruzilya N. Chernitsina

“…Provides statistical analysis of the results of testing of students involved in the experiment conducted by the Department of Higher Mathematics at the Samara State University of Railways, since the resulting test data (rates of assimilation of educational information), which are taken as random variables are a set of numbers, which is difficult to detect any pattern of change (variation). Built interval variation series calculated the most important numerical characteristics of random variable - the sample mean (arithmetic mean value of the flag of sample), the sample variance (the arithmetic average of the squared deviations of the observed values of the trait from their average values) and sample standard deviation was given the opportunity to build a histogram of relative frequencies - a stepped shape consisting of rectangles whose bases are partial intervals, and the height equal to the density of the relative frequency. …”
