Writer Recognition System 1 (Windows)

Research in automatic writer identification has mainly focused on the statistical approach. This has led to the specification and extraction of statistical features such as run-length distributions, slant distribution, entropy, and edge-hinge distribution. The edge-hinge distribution feature outperforms all other statistical features. Edge-hinge distribution is a feature that characterizes the...

Using Copulas to Model Dependency Structures in Econometrics

Modeling the correlation structures of economic variables is an important part of managing financial risk. Pearson correlation matrices fully characterize joint distribution when the underlying economic variables follow a multivariate normal distribution. When the economic variables are nonnormal, copulas are needed to model the correlation structure. In fact, given a...
