Classification of data as true or fabricated has applications in fraud detection and verification of data samples. In this paper, we apply nonlinear filtering to a simplified fraud-detection problem: classifying coin flip sequences as either real or faked. On the way, we propose a method for...

Target Obscuration, including foliage or building obscuration of ground targets and landscape or horizon obscuration of airborne targets, plagues many real world filtering problems. In particular, ground moving target identification Doppler radar, mounted on a surveillance aircraft or unattended...

In this paper, we give a direct derivation of the Duncan–Mortensen–Zakai filtering equation, without assuming right continuity of the signal, nor its filtration, and without the usual finite energy condition. As a consequence, the Fujisaki–Kallianpur–Kunita equation is also derived. Our results...

Military tanks, cargo or troop carriers, missile carriers or rocket launchers often hide themselves from detection in the forests. This plagues the detection problem of locating these hidden targets. An electro-optic camera mounted on a surveillance aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle is used to...

A CAPTCHA is an automatically generated test designed to distinguish between humans and computer programs; specifically, they are designed to be easy for humans but difficult for computer programs to pass in order to prevent the abuse of resources by automated bots. They are commonly seen...

Herein, we propose generating CAPTCHAs through random field simulation and give a novel, effective and efficient algorithm to do so. Indeed, we demonstrate that sufficient information about word tests for easy human recognition is contained in the site marginal probabilities and the...

We address the missing analog of vague convergence in the weak-converge large-deviations analogy. Specifically, we introduce the weak Laplace principle and show it implies both the well-known weak LDP and the Laplace principle lower bound. Both the weak LDP and weak Laplace principle hold in...

Partially-observed microstructure models, containing stochastic volatility, dynamic trading noise and short term inertia, are introduced to address the following questions: (1) Do the observed prices exhibit statistically signicant inertia? (2) Is stochastic volatility (SV) still evident in the...

The equivalences to and the connections between the modulus-of-continuity condition, compact containment and tightness on DE[a, b] with a < b are studied. The results within are tools for establishing tightness for probability measures on DE[a, b] that generalize and simplify prevailing results...
