This paper describes a novel spectral envelope conversion method based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM). The core of this paper is rearranging source feature vectors in input space to the transformed feature vectors in feature space for the better modeling of GMM of source and target features. The quality of statistical modeling is dependent on the distribution and the dimension of data. The proposed method transforms both of the distribution and dimension of data and gives us the chance to model the same data with different configuration. Because the converted feature vectors should be on the input space, only source feature vectors are rearranged in the feature space and target feature vectors remain unchanged for the joint pdf of source and target features using KPCA. The experimental result shows that the proposed method outperforms the conventional GMM-based conversion method in various training environment.

This paper is proposed a wavelet-based MCDT(Mask Coefficient Differential and Threshold) method of image registration of Multi-images contaminated with visible image and infrared image. The method for ensure reliability of the image registration is to the increase statistical corelation as getting the common feature points between two images. The method of threshold the wavelet coefficients using derivatives of the wavelet coefficients of the detail subbands was proposed to effectively registration images with distortion. And it can define that the edge map. Particularly, in order to increase statistical corelation the method of the normalized mutual information. as similarity measure common feature between two images was selected. The proposed method is totally verified by comparing with the several other multi-image and the proposed image registration.

The recursive feature elimination for support vector machine is known to be useful in selecting relevant genes. Since the criterion for choosing relevant genes is the absolute value of a coefficient, the recursive feature elimination may suffer from a scaling problem. We propose a modified version of the recursive feature elimination algorithm using bootstrap. In our method, the criterion for determining relevant genes is the absolute value of a coefficient divided by its standard error, which accounts for statistical variability of the coefficient. Through numerical examples, we illustrate that our method is effective in gene selection.

In this paper we discuss the teaching methods about statistical inferences. Bayesian methods have the attractive feature that statistical conclusions can be stated using the language of subjective probability. Simple methods of teaching Bayes' rule described, and these methods are illustrated for inference and prediction problems for one proportions. Also, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and Bayesian approachs in teaching inference.

A driver assistance system is critical to improve a convenience and stability of vehicle driving. Several systems have been already commercialized such as adaptive cruise control system and forward collision warning system. Efficient vehicle detection is very important to improve such driver assistance systems. Most existing vehicle detection systems are based on a radar system, which measures distance between a host and leading (or oncoming) vehicles under various weather conditions. However, it requires high deployment cost and complexity overload when there are many vehicles. A camera based vehicle detection technique is also good alternative method because of low cost and simple implementation. In general, night time vehicle detection is more complicated than day time vehicle detection, because it is much more difficult to distinguish the vehicle's features such as outline and color under the dim environment. This paper proposes a method to detect vehicles at night time using analysis of a captured color space with reduction of reflection and other light sources in images. Four colors spaces, namely RGB, YCbCr, normalized RGB and Ruta-RGB, are compared each other and evaluated. A suboptimal threshold value is determined by Otsu algorithm and applied to extract candidates of taillights of leading vehicles. Statistical features such as mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and entropy are extracted from the candidate regions and used as feature vector for SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier. According to our simulation results, the proposed statistical feature based SVM provides relatively high performances of leading vehicle detection with various distances in variable nighttime environments.

In this paper, we apply a support vector machine(SVM) that incorporates an optimized nonlinear decision rule over different sets of feature vectors to improve the performance of statistical model-based voice activity detection(VAD). Conventional method performs VAD through setting up statistical models for each case of speech absence and presence assumption and comparing the geometric mean of the likelihood ratio (LR) for the individual frequency band extracted from input signal with the given threshold. We propose a novel VAD technique based on SVM by treating the LRs computed in each frequency bin as the elements of feature vector to minimize classification error probability instead of the conventional decision rule using geometric mean. As a result of experiments, the performance of SVM-based VAD using the proposed feature has shown better results compared with those of reported VADs in various noise environments.

A pattern recognition (PR) system is addressed for non-intrusive load monitoring. To effectively recognize two appliances (for example, an electric iron and a cook top), we propose a novel feature extraction method based on high order moments of power signals. Simulation results confirm that the PR system with the proposed high order moment features and kernel discriminant analysis can effectively separate two appliances.

When analyzing high dimensional data such as text data, if we input all the variables as explanatory variables, statistical learning procedures may suffer from over-fitting problems. Furthermore, computational efficiency can deteriorate with a large number of variables. Dimensionality reduction techniques such as feature selection or feature extraction are useful for dealing with these problems. The sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) is one of the regularized least squares methods which employs an elastic net-type objective function. The SPCA can be used to remove insignificant principal components and identify important variables from noisy observations. In this study, we propose a dimension reduction procedure for text data based on the SPCA. Applying the proposed procedure to real data, we find that the reduced feature set maintains sufficient information in text data while the size of the feature set is reduced by removing redundant variables. As a result, the proposed procedure can improve classification accuracy and computational efficiency, especially for some classifiers such as the k-nearest neighbors algorithm.

The statistical analysis of the feature extraction and the neural networks are proposed to recognize a human face. In the preprocessing step, the normalized skin color map with Gaussian functions is employed to extract the region of face candidate. The feature information in the region of the face candidate is used to detect the face region. In the recognition step, as a tested, the 120 images of 10 persons are trained by the backpropagation algorithm. The images of each person are obtained from the various direction, pose, and facial expression. Input variables of the neural networks are the geometrical feature information and the feature information that comes from the eigenface spaces. The simulation results of$.$10 persons show that the proposed method yields high recognition rates.
