Optimal Bayes classifiers for functional data and density ratios
    loading  Checking for direct PDF access through Ovid
Abstract
SummaryBayes classifiers for functional data pose a challenge. One difficulty is that probability density functions do not exist for functional data, so the classical Bayes classifier using density quotients needs to be modified. We propose to use density ratios of projections onto a sequence of eigenfunctions that are...

Part I -- The Importance of International Law
International law is vital to the welfare of every man, woman and child on this planet, although the vast majority of them do not know this is so. The vital aspect lies in the fact that the universally applicable nature of human rights -- which prohibit such actions as the use of torture, arbitrary arrest and detention...
To understand just how important international law is to the universal application of human rights, one has to consider just how inadequate to this end are national and local laws. This inadequacy should come as no surprise. For hundreds of years now, the dominant form of political organization has been the nation-stat...
Ideally, this is not how things should go. Indeed, Article 6 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts that "everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law." And, if you find yourself in a country that has ratified this Declaration, you should come under its protection. Unfortuna...
Part II -- U.S. Behavior
Many people in the West assume that the denigration of international law upholding human rights occurs mostly within authoritarian states -- states that do not protect such rights for their own citizens, much less recognize them as universally applicable. But that is not the case. Such flouting of international law is ...
The problem goes beyond the maltreatment of immigrants. In fact, the current dismissive attitude toward human rights and the international laws that uphold them has its roots in the fear of terrorism. Such actions as arbitrary arrest, indefinite detention, the use of torture, and so forth are all justified by the so-ca...
Part III -- The Culpability of Special Interest Politics
Although the "war on terror" appears to be an open-ended one, its influence on policy and national behavior may wax and wane. There are other obstacles that are actually structurally embedded within U.S. democratic practice that also undermine adherence to international law. One of these is the pervasive influence of a...
Within the United States, there are a myriad number of special interests that ply the halls of power at every level of government. Some of them are dedicated to good causes. Indeed, advocates for human rights and supporters of international law have their own, albeit not very influential, lobbies.
There are other interests of great power, however, that devote themselves to, among other things, the dehumanization of entire groups of people. A good example are the Zionists whose multiple lobbies influence U.S. Middle East policy so as to assure unquestioned support of Israel, and thereby secure American involvemen...
The average U.S. citizen, engrossed as he or she is in their local environment, does not understand this aspect of their politics. The media, from which U.S. citizens take most of their information on government behavior, are themselves subject to the influence of the same special interests that stalk the halls of powe...
It is this insularity and the know-nothing attitude that goes along with it that has allowed special interests to become the main center of political power in America. Short of catastrophic political breakdown, this arrangement is not going to change. The only thing that those who value international law and human righ...
