Abstract #302315

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

Abstract:

Multiscale image analyses have been proven to be powerful in both generating efficient algorithms and deriving the fundamental difficulties of some imaging tasks. The existing works include the Multiscale Geometric Detection (MGD) to derive the fundamental detectability of geometric objects under noises and the Multiscale Significance Run Algorithm (MSRA) to detect an underlying curve with unknown smoothness in a random point cloud. Despite the current successes, stronger theoretical results can be derived in many situations. In this paper, we review how stronger results can be derived by considering the limiting distributions of the test statistics adopted in these methods. The new theoretical results offer explanations to the robustness of the proposed algorithms that have been observed in simulation. This is a joint work with Ms. Xuelei Ni.
