The Rayleigh regression model was recently proposed for modeling amplitude values of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image pixels. However, inferences from such model are based on the maximum likelihood estimators, which can be biased for…

Quantum number-path entanglement is a resource for super-sensitive quantum metrology and in particular provides for sub-shotnoise or even Heisenberg-limited sensitivity. However, such number-path entanglement has thought to have been…

The Rayleigh conjecture about convergence up to the boundary of the series representing the scattered field in the exterior of an obstacle $D$ is widely used by engineers in applications. However this conjecture is false for some obstacles.…
