The distance covariance of two random vectors is a measure of their dependence. The empirical distance covariance and correlation can be used as statistical tools for testing whether two random vectors are independent. We propose an analogs…
Classical dependence measures such as Pearson correlation, Spearman's $\rho$, and Kendall's $\tau$ can detect only monotonic or linear dependence. To overcome these limitations, Szekely et al.(2007) proposed distance covariance as a…
In this letter, we study the case of autonomous agents which are required to move to some new position based solely on the distance measured from predetermined reference points, or anchors. A novel approach, referred to as…
We present a definition of the distance between probability distributions. Our definition is based on the $L_1$ norm on space of probability measures. We compare our distance with the well-known Kullback-Leibler divergence and with the…
A time series is a sequence of data items; typical examples are videos, stock ticker data, or streams of temperature measurements. Quite some research has been devoted to comparing and indexing simple time series, i.e., time series where…
Satellite conjunctions involving "near misses" of space objects are becoming increasingly likely. One approach to risk analysis for them involves the computation of the collision probability, but this has been regarded as having some…
We consider the chordal product determinant, a measure of the distance between two subspaces of the same dimension. In information theory, collections of elements in the complex Grassmannian are searched with the property that their…
Application of the minimum distance method to the linear regression model for estimating regression parameters is a difficult and time-consuming process due to the complexity of its distance function, and hence, it is computationally…
Transportation distance information is a powerful resource, but location records are often censored due to privacy concerns or regulatory mandates. We outline methods to approximate, sample from, and compare distributions of distances…
Image analysis frequently deals with shape estimation and image reconstruction. The ob jects of interest in these problems may be thought of as random sets, and one is interested in finding a representative, or expected, set. We consider a…
We discuss the notion of a dense cluster with respect to the information distance and prove that all such clusters have an extractable core that represents the mutual information shared by the objects in the cluster.
Distance plays a fundamental role in measuring similarity between objects. Various visualization techniques and learning tasks in statistics and machine learning such as shape matching, classification, dimension reduction and clustering…
The choice of a point set, to be used in numerical integration, determines, to a large extent, the error estimate of the integral. Point sets can be characterized by their discrepancy, which is a measure of its non-uniformity. Point sets…
The general expression of the angular distance between two point sources as measured by an arbitrary observer is given. The modelling presented here is rigorous, covariant and valid in any space-time. The sources of light may be located at…
Fractal geometry proved to be an effective mathematical tool for exploring real geographical space based on digital maps and remote sensing images. Whether the fractal theory tool can be applied to abstract geographical space has not been…
The "maximum similarity correlation" definition introduced in this study is motivated by the seminal work of Szekely et al on "distance covariance" (Ann. Statist. 2007, 35: 2769-2794; Ann. Appl. Stat. 2009, 3: 1236-1265). Instead of using…
Distance transformation is an image processing technique used for many different applications. Related to a binary image, the general idea is to determine the distance of all background points to the nearest object point (or vice versa). In…
Distance covariance and distance correlation have been widely adopted in measuring dependence of a pair of random variables or random vectors. If the computation of distance covariance and distance correlation is implemented directly…
Distance-based tests, also called "energy statistics", are leading methods for two-sample and independence tests from the statistics community. Kernel-based tests, developed from "kernel mean embeddings", are leading methods for two-sample…
In this paper, we prove that two different observers don't equally measure the distance between two points A and B. For this, we introduce some postulates and obtain a new formula to show distance between A and B. In this formula, radius of…
