Anomaly Detection in Multichannel Data Using Sparse Representation in RADWT Frames
We introduce a new methodology for anomaly detection (AD) in multichannel fast oscillating signals based on nonparametric penalized regression.Assuming the signals share similar shapes and characteristics, the estimation procedures are based on the use of the Rational-Dilation Wavelet Transform (RADWT), equipped with a tunable Q-factor able to prov
Dragon images in Japanese culture: Genesis and semantics
The article deals with the genesis, semantics, and functions of the dragon image in Japanese culture.The relevance of the study is due to the increased attention of researchers to the basic values of local cultures, issues of symbolism, inextricably linked to the problems of national self-identification.The methodological basis of the study is the
