In the scenario of FR with SSPP, we present a novel model local robust sparse representation(LRSR) to tackle the problem of query images with various intra-class variations,e.g., expressions, illuminations, and occlusion. FR with SSPP is a very difficult challenge due to lacking of information to predict the possible intra-class variation of the query images.The key idea of the proposed method is to combine a local sparse representation model and a patch-based generic variation dictionary learning model to predict the possible facial intraclass variation of the query images. The experimental results on the AR database, Extended Yale B database, CMU-PIE database and LFW database show that the proposed method is robust to intra-class variations in FR with SSPP, and outperforms the state-of-art approaches.展开更多

Two covariates were used and a case where the observational errors were in both the survey variable and the covariates was considered. The inclusion of observational errors was due to the fact that data collected through surveys are often not free from errors that occur during observation. These errors can occur due to over-reporting, under-reporting, memory failure by the respondents or use of imprecise tools of data collection. The expression of mean squared error (MSE) based on the obtained estimator has been derived to the first degree of approximation. The results of a simulation study show that the derived modified regression mean estimator under observational errors is more efficient than the mean per unit estimator and some other existing estimators. The proposed estimator can therefore be used in estimating a finite population mean, while considering observational errors that may occur during a study.展开更多
