Blind source separation (BSS) is an important analysis tool in various signal processing applications like image, speech or medical signal analysis. The most popular BSS solutions have been developed for independent component analysis (ICA) with identically and independently distributed (iid)...

In spite of recent contributions to the literature, informative cluster size settings are not well known and understood. In this paper, we give a formal definition of the problem and describe it from different viewpoints. Data generating mechanisms, parametric and nonparametric models are...

This article investigates the application of depth estimators to crack growth models in construction engineering. Many crack growth models are based on the Paris–Erdogan equation which describes crack growth by a deterministic differential equation. By introducing a stochastic error term,...
