The generation of a global “complexity” score for numerical series was derived from a principal components analysis of a group of nonlinear measures of experimental as well simulated series. The concept of complexity was demonstrated to be independent from other descriptors of ordered series...

In this paper it is shown how a generalized form of canonical analysis can be useful to reveal which parametric functions of a MANOVA model, for instance treatment contrasts or combinations of observed variables, are responsible for rejection of a general linear hypothesis on these functions....

This article describes a local parameterization of orthogonal and semi-orthogonal matrices. The parameterization leads to a unified approach for obtaining the asymptotic joint distributions of estimators of singular-values and -vectors, and of eigen-values and -vectors. The singular- or...

One of the building blocks of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Saaty [Saaty, T. L. 1977. A scaling method for priorities in hierarchical structures. Math. Psych. 15 234--281.]) is the ratio-scaled assessment of an agent's preferences between pairs of alternatives. This article shows how it is...
