A block diagonal covariance matrix test and discriminant analysis of high-dimensional data
; (National Institute of Development, 2017)
In this dissertation, a new test statistic for testing for a block diagonal covariance matrix structure with a multivariate normal population where the number of variables p exceeds the number of observations n is proposed. Whereas classical approaches such as the likelihood ratio test cannot be applied when p n , the proposed test statistic is based on the ratio of the estimators of 2 tr and 2 trD , where is the population covariance matrix and D is the population covariance matrix under the null hypothesis. Furthermore, ... -

A dynamic asymmetric key agreement for broadcast encryption based on braid groups
; (National Institute of Development Administration, 2012)
Broadcast encryption is the scheme that a sender encrypts messages for a designated group of receivers, and sends the ciphertexts by broadcasting over the networks. Many research papers have done it using elliptic curve cryptosystem. This research proposes a dynamic asymmetric key agreement protocols for the broadcast encryption which is based on braid groups cryptosystem, an alternative method in the public key cryptography in which it can reduce the computational cost. The proposed scheme is also used the concept of an identity-based ... -
A filter-based feature selection using two criterion functions and evolutionary fuzzification
; (National Institute of Development Administration, 2013)
In information age, data has become increasingly large, in both dimension (the number of features) and volume. Data mining processes, such as data classification and data clustering, performed on high dimensional data can be time-consuming and can produce poor results due to the problem so called curse of dimensionality. Feature selection is one of the fundamental techniques that selects only the most significant features and eliminates irrelevant and redundant features from the entire set of features. Filter-based feature selection is the ... -
A firm's performance and its dividend policy
; (National Institute of Development Administration, 2016)
Dividend smoothing is a well-known empirical phenomenon which is extensively described and analyzed in the financial literature. However, the motivation behind this widespread firm's policy is not totally understood. The signaling approach is one model employed to explain dividend smoothing: managers reduce information asymmetry between firm insiders and other stakeholders by maintaining dividends stable, thus signaling their confidence in the firm's future performance. Nevertheless, results from empirical studies are incomplete and ... -

A lossless image compression algorithm using predictive coding based on quantized colors
; (National Institute of Development Administration, 2011)
Predictive coding has proven to be effective for lossless image compression. The predictive coding estimates true color of a pixel based on the true colors of its neighboring pixels. To enhance the accuracy of the estimation, we propose a new and simple predictive coding algorithm that uses the quantized colors of neighboring pixels to estimate the true color of a pixel. The estimation is based on the majority of quantized colors of the three neighboring pixels. Experiments, over a set of true color 24-bit images whose colors of pixels are quantized ... -
