One serious problem in deep-hole drilling is the formation of a dynamic disturbance called spiralling which causes holes with several lobes. Since such lobes are a severe impairment of the bore hole quality the formation of spiralling has to be prevented. Gessesse et al. [2] explain spiralling...

This article comments on a frequency estimator which was proposed by [6] and shows empirically that it exhibits a much larger mean squared error than a well known frequency estimator by [8]. It is demonstrated that by using a heuristical adjustment [2] the performance can be greatly improved....

In this paper we describe a computer intensive method to find the ridge parameter in a prediction oriented linear model. With the help of a factorial experimental design the method is tested and compared to a classical one.

This paper discusses whether differences in the data structure of observational and experimental studies should lead to different strategies for variable selection. On the one hand, it is argued that outliers in the predictor variables have to be treated differently in the two kinds of studies....

We propose a new information theoretically based optimization criterion for the estimation of mixture density models and compare it with other methods based on maximum likelihood and maximum a posterio estimation. For the optimization, we employ an evolutionary algorithm which estimates both...

We describe a computer intensive method for linear dimension reduction which minimizes the classification error directly. Simulated annealing Bohachevsky et al (1986) is used to solve this problem. The classification error is determined by an exact integration. We avoid distance or scatter...
