Disposal of saline drainage water is a significant problem for irrigated agriculture. One proposal is to recycle drainage water to irrigate salt tolerant crops until the volume has been reduced sufficiently to enable final disposal by evaporation. Part of this concept requires in situ crop water...

We develop two cusum change-point detection algorithms for data network monitoring applications where numerous and various performance and reliability metrics are available to aid with the early identification of realized or impending failures. We confront three significant challenges with our...

In many real world classification problems, class-conditional classification noise (CCC-Noise) frequently deteriorates the performance of a classifier that is naively built by ignoring it. In this paper, we investigate the impact of CCC-Noise on the quality of a popular generative classifier,...

Predicting the value of a random variable Y, based on the observed value of another random variable X is a common objective of data analysis. It is well-known that the minimum mean-squared error predictor of Y is the mean of the conditional distribution of Y, given X. In cases where Y is...
