A comparative analysis of models for predicting delays in air traffic networks

TL;DR: The MJLS model, which is specifically designed to capture aggregate air traffic dynamics, leverages on these factors and outperforms the ANN in predicting the future spatial distribution of delays, and a tradeoff between model simplicity and prediction accuracy is revealed.

Neural networks for predicting conditional probability densities: improved training scheme combining EM and RVFL

TL;DR: By adopting the RVFL concept and constraining a subset of the parameters to randomly chosen initial values (such that the EM-algorithm can be applied), the training process can be accelerated by about two orders of magnitude.

A Parzen classifier with an improved robustness against deviations between training and test data

TL;DR: This paper presents a classification method that tries to anticipate slight deviations of the (statistical properties of the) training and the test data (i.e. the data to which the classifier is applied in the operational phase), based on a generalised likelihood function for determining the kernel width of the Parzen classifier.

Estimation of break location and size for loss of coolant accidents using neural networks

TL;DR: A probabilistic neural network that has been applied well to the classification problems is used in order to identify the break locations of loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) and estimate their break size accurately.

Nearest neighbor pattern classification

TL;DR: The nearest neighbor decision rule assigns to an unclassified sample point the classification of the nearest of a set of previously classified points, so it may be said that half the classification information in an infinite sample set is contained in the nearest neighbor.

On Estimation of a Probability Density Function and Mode

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the estimation of a probability density function and of determining the mode of the probability function is discussed. Only estimates which are consistent and asymptotically normal are constructed.
