Abstract: Neural networks with quadratic decision functions have been introduced as alternatives to standard neural networks with affine linear ones. They are advantageous when the objects or classes ...

Research in neuroscience has seen a recent trend toward the extension of receptive field (RF) estimation techniques and theoretical principles from linear to non-linear models. This development has ...

Often neither the exact density nor the exact cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of a statistic of interest is available in the statistics and econometrics literature (e.g., the maximum ...

This article describes three approximation methods I used to solve the growth model (Model 1) studied by the National Bureau of Economic Research's nonlinear rational-expectations-modeling group ...

Abstract: A quadratic buck converter, whose voltage conversion ratio equals square of a duty cycle, has good potential in DC-DC converter applications where a large voltage step-down is required, such ...
