A new fast and accurate tissue typing technique has recently been successfully applied to prostate MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data. This technique is based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA), a statistical method able to simultaneously exploit the spectral and spatial information… |

The reverse mortgage market has been expanding rapidly in developed economies in recent years. Reverse mortgages provide an alternative source of funding for retirement income and health care costs. Increase in life expectancies and decrease in the real income at retirement continue to worry those… |

This paper focuses on assessing the financial position of an insurer issuing a portfolio of Variable Annuities (VAs). Two multivariate models for the underlying and the interest rate are considered. The first model uses a single total rate of return for the basket of assets. The second one, jointly… |

We present results of a numerical simulation of the thermal convection in the subsurface mushy ice layer of Europa, one of the Jupiter's moons. Beside fluid dynamics and heat transfer within such a layer, heat conduction in the solid crustal surface and heat exchange between the two phases - mushy… |

Given a random sample drawn from a Multivariate Bernoulli Variable (MBV), we consider the problem of estimating the structure of the undirected graph for which the distribution is pairwise Markov and the parameters' vector of its exponential form. We propose a simple method that provides a closed… |

In this work we present a methodology for the mapping of Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) temporal variations based on the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry technique and Sentinel-1 data. The shift in the interferometric phase caused by the refraction of the microwave signal penetrating the… |

An algorithm for computing the solution of indefinite least squares problems
and of indefinite least squares problems with equality constrained is presented.
Such problems arise when solving total least squares problems and in
H infinity-smoothing.
The proposed algorithm relies only on stable… |

Motivation: Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapies (HAART) can pro-
long life significantly to people infected by HIV since, although unable
to eradicate the virus, they are quite effective in maintaining control of
the infection. However, since HAART have several undesirable side
effects, it… |

CRC is an adult-onset carcinoma representing the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. EO-CRC (<45 years of age) accounts for 5% of the CRC cases and is associated with cancer-predisposing genetic factors in half of them. Here, we describe… |
