Fisher’s linear discriminant function might be difficult to estimate, when data come from a semiparametric, finite mixture model. We propose an estimator based on the singular value decomposition of the third standardized cumulant. The estimator is consistent when sampling from a mixture of...

Recently, different methods for obtaining sparse representations of a signal using dictionaries of waveforms have been studied. They are often motivated by the way the brain seems to process certain sensory signals. Algorithms have been developed using a specific criterion to choose the...

The recently introduced approach for Encrypted Image Folding is generalized to make it self-contained. The goal is achieved by enlarging the folded image so as to embed all the necessary information for the image recovery. The need for extra size is somewhat compensated by considering a...
