Identification and Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease Dysgraphia Based on Fractional-Order Derivatives of Online Handwriting
(MDPI, 2018-12-11)
Parkinson's disease dysgraphia affects the majority of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and is the result of handwriting abnormalities mainly caused by motor dysfunctions. Several effective approaches to quantitative PD ...
Inverting Monotonic Nonlinearities by Entropy Maximization
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-25)
This paper proposes a new method for blind inversion of a monotonic nonlinear map applied to a sum of random variables. Such kinds of mixtures of random variables are found in source separation and Wiener system inversion ...
