An information theoretic approach is proposed to estimate the degree of connectivity for each voxel with its neighboring voxels. The neighborhood system is defined by spatial and functional connectivity metrics. Then, a local mesh of variable size is formed around each voxel using spatial or functional neighborhood. The mesh arc weights, called Mesh Arc Descriptors (MAD), are estimated by a linear regression model fitted to the voxel intensity values of the functional Magnetic Resonance Images (fMRI). Finally, the error term of the linear regression equation is used to estimate the mesh size for a voxel by optimizing Akaike's information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion and Rissanen's Minimum Description Length. fMRI measurements are obtained during a memory encoding and retrieval experiment performed on a subject who is exposed to the stimuli from 10 semantic categories. For each sample, a k-NN classifier is trained using the Mesh Arc Descriptors (MAD) having the variable mesh sizes. The classification performances reflect that the suggested variable-size Mesh Arc Descriptors represents the mental states better than the classical multi-voxel pattern representation. Moreover, we observe that the degree of connectivities in the brain greatly varies for each voxel.

Description and performance of track and primary-vertex reconstruction with the CMS tracker Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2014-10-01) A description is provided of the software algorithms developed for the CMS tracker both for reconstructing charged-particle trajectories in proton-proton interactions and for using the resulting tracks to estimate the positions of the LHC luminous region and individual primary-interaction vertices. Despite the very hostile environment at the LHC, the performance obtained with these algorithms is found to be excellent. For t (t) over bar events under typical 2011 pileup conditions, the average track-reconstr...
An Information Theoretic Approach to Classify Cognitive States Using fMRI Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Firat, Orhan; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-11-13) In this study, an information theoretic approach is proposed to model brain connectivity during a cognitive processing task, measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, a local mesh of varying size is formed around each voxel. The arc weights of each mesh are estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the squared error. Then, the optimal mesh size for each sample, that represents the information distribution in the brain, is estimated by minimizing various inform...
Effects of using different boundary conditions and computational domain dimensions on modeling and simulations of periodic metamaterial arrays in microwave frequencies Turkmen, Oznur; EKMEKÇİ, Evren; Sayan, Gönül (Wiley, 2013-07-01) This article aims to demonstrate the effects of using different boundary conditions and different computational volume dimensions in numerical simulations of periodic metamaterial arrays. A double band metamaterial unit cell design will be utilized to show that use of different boundary conditions may result in simulation of dissimilar periodic array topologies with completely different electromagnetic responses. It will also be shown that dimensions of the computational volume may strongly affect the overa...
Detection of hidden patterns in time series data via multiple-time FOD method Erkuş, Ekin Can; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2019-06-23) The periodicity in time series data can be detected by several frequency domains’ methods, especially, by the Fourier transform (FT). FT is a non-parametric method to convert the time domain data into the frequency domain and it is used in many engineering and data science applications. Recently this method which has been used to detect outliers in time series observations where the data may also include some systematic patterns is called “outlier detection via Fourier transform” (FOD). From our previous ...
On the Lagrange interpolation in multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2006-07-14) In this paper the Lagrange interpolation employed in the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is considered as part of the efforts to obtain faster and more efficient solutions for large problems of computational electromagnetics. For the translation operator, this paper presents the choice of the parameters for optimal interpolation. Also, for the aggregation and disaggregation processes, the interpolation matrices are discussed and an efficient way of improving the accuracy by employing the poles a...
