Thoth is a free desktop/laptop software application with a friendly graphical user interface that facilitates routine data-visualization and statistical-calculation tasks for astronomy and astrophysical research (and other fields where numbers are vi...

In health and social science and other fields where count data analysis is important, zero-inflated models have been employed when the frequency of zero count is high (inflated). Due to multiple reasons, there are scenarios in which an additional cou...

Location-based services (LBS) require users to provide their current location for service delivery and customization. Location privacy protection addresses concerns associated with the potential mishandling of location information submitted to the LB...

We present a number of upper and lower bounds for the total variation distances between the most popular probability distributions. In particular, some estimates of the total variation distances in the cases of multivariate Gaussian distributions, Po...

The area of multimedia information retrieval (MMIR) faces two major challenges: the enormously growing number of multimedia objects (i.e., images, videos, audio, and text files), and the fast increasing level of detail of these objects (e.g., the num...

The theme of this paper is that the SP Theory of Intelligence (SPTI), and its realisation in the SP Computer Model, is a promising foundation for the development of artificial intelligence at the level of people or higher, also known as ‘artifi...

Given a set of high-dimensional feature vectors $S\subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$, the skyline or Pareto problem is to report the subset of vectors in S that are not dominated by any vector of S. Vectors closer to the origin are preferred: we say a vector x is dominated by a...

The environmental issues we are currently facing require long-term prospective efforts for sustainable growth. Renewable energy sources seem to be one of the most practical and efficient alternatives in this regard. Understanding a nation’s pat...

Retail banking is undergoing considerable product competitiveness and disruptions. New product development is necessary to tackle such challenges and reinvigorate product lines. This study presents an instrumental real-life banking case study, where...

Coral-reefs are a significant species in marine life, which are affected by multiple diseases due to the stress and variation in heat under the impact of the ocean. The autonomous monitoring and detection of coral health are crucial for researchers t...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

There are several Knowledge Graphs expressed in RDF (Resource Description Framework) that aggregate/integrate data from various sources for providing unified access services and enabling insightful analytics. We observe this trend in almost every dom...

Copulas are probabilistic functions that are being used more and more frequently to describe, examine, and model the interdependence of continuous random variables. Among the numerous proposed copulas, renewed interest has recently been shown in the...

Global optimization is a widely used technique that finds application in many sciences such as physics, economics, medicine, etc., and with many extensions, for example, in the area of machine learning. However, in many cases, global minimization tec...

In this survey, the issues of urban routing are analyzed, and critical considerations for smart and cost-effective delivery services are highlighted. Smart cities require intelligent services and solutions to address their routing issues. This articl...
