    Abstract: Automatic detection of human cell is still one of the most common investigation methods that may be used as part of a computer aided medical decision making system[1]. In this paper a statistical method based on Gaussian Mixture Model is applied to human cell detection in microscopic images[2]. 120 normal microscopic images of human cell from our r... Show More

    Abstract: Ecological data matrices often require some form of pre-processing so that any undesirable effects (e.g. the variable size effect) may be removed from multivariate analyses. This paper describes hypercorrelation, a simple data transformation that improves ordination methods significantly. Hypercorrelated matrices efficiently eliminate the ‘arch’ (o... Show More
