Look at how the system variable Convergence Tolerance (TOL) affects the results of definite integrals. This tells scikit to stop searching for a minimum (or maximum) once some tolerance is achieved, i.e. What is tolerance Tol?Īs you noted, tol is the tolerance for the stopping criteria. In your case you want to print letters so if you use %f formatspec you won’t get the desired result. %s represents character vector(containing letters) and %f represents fixed point notation(containining numbers). Then ismembertol uses the resulting scaled comparison tolerance to determine which elements in A are also a member of B. ![]() ismembertol scales the tol input using the maximum absolute values in the input arrays A and B. =uniquetol(vals,uniquetolval,'ByRows',true.Tol - Comparison tolerance Comparison tolerance, specified as a positive real scalar. Uvals=round(sv/uniquetolval)*uniquetolval Uvals=round(vals/uniquetolval)*uniquetolval I believe all three are producing correct answers, but uniquetol works differently in that it tests each cell in a row to be within a tolerance, whereas Timbo's approach and the summing approach examine the entire row. Note that an extra unique row is produced by Timbo's approach and the summing approach. Below is a summing approach below that builds on Timbo's code. Right now, the bottleneck is uniquetol, which cannot be run in parallel, so that's what I've focused on. I'll note that I wasn't able to do that two years ago either, but I'm hoping sometime smarter than I am will be able to (i.e., on this thread).įor now, I don't agree that unmixing takes too much time since it can be efficiently parallelized. Down the road, with the right fast clustering algorithm, I think we'll be able to apply a look up table answer to each scene and skip the iterative solving, but we are not there yet. The problem is: can we speed up SPIReS? Machine learning, LUTs, GPU arrays, and other speed ups are good research directions, but I have yet to see any evidence that they work better or faster than simpler methods for clustering. “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius Thoughts? This topic applies to other retrievals besides snow. An alternative is to assert that the superpixels span the range of variability and to use a statistical fit (“machine learning”) to assign the snow properties to each pixel. Then the question is, what to do with ‘em? One approach is to say there are only 2500 answers and for each pixel pick the closest superpixel and assign that fSCA and albedo to it. Depending on options, I get something like 65,000 superpixels, but running uniquetol on these at a tolerance of 0.05 for the weighted spectra, I reduce to 2500-3000, which I can unmix on my laptop. David Thompson’s Mars stuff just used a one-band image, the brightness (Euclidean norm) of the spectral reflectance. For a typical AVIRS-NG image, I have various ways to create a 3-band image that superpixel can handle, and Timbo has identified other ways. I’d suggest we combine the ideas with superpixels. Rosenthal & Dozier 1996 realized this, and Walter built a regression tree based on a sample of pixels. The problem is: unmixing every pixel takes too much time, but many pixels are similar to other pixels, so we shouldn’t have to unmix all. We could create a large training library of unique pixels form many tiles and days with the current "slow" combo of uniquetol + speedinvert, then train the ML and for future "fast" runs, run the statistical fit / ML approach on all pixels, which could be fast enough to just use ML on all - for GPU arrays, once Aaron gets MATLAB 2021a fired up on tlun, speed might improve with the new updates to matlab handling the new NVIDIA cards. We'd need a quick way to find good pixels/superpixels for estimating those properties.Īlso, we have plenty of time. But, unless all the component pixels have high fSCA we may be reducing our ability to estimate grain size and contaminat conc, by the superpixels fSCA going below the thresholds to estimate those snow properties. I'm guessing our fSCA estimates from MODIS super pixels are going to be similar to the aggregate of the fSCA estimate from the individual pixels. ![]() The trick with using superpixels and MODIS data is the spatial resolution of MOD09GA is quite coarse so we don't want to make the superpixels too big. ![]() also there is a superpixels3 (3D superpixels) funciton - we could stack a few days together and find similar pixels across multiple days - probably just a few a most. ![]() For speed, I recommend we use the matlab function. I was doing some superpixel stuff with both funcitons yesterday on Landsat images and the results are pretty dang similar. The built is superpixels funciton is a MEX file and runs very fast. The matlab built in superpixel function can only handle 1 or 3 features per pixel for clustering, my method enables as many features as you want, but is slow.

Ledelle Moe - Remain at left Congregation at right Entitled When, the installation seems to impose silent contemplation on its viewers, similar to the awestruck effect of standing in a vast temple or cathedral. Ledelle Moe, whose massive concrete heads and figures occupy the famously football field-sized Building 5, is another sculptor utilizing scale to powerful effect. Indeed, Minoliti is something like Disney for the cultural elite (that's us, dear reader!), and served on this visit as a delightful palate cleanser as we moved on through the museum. Croix exhibition is a relatively small one-room installation by the Argentine artist Ad Minoliti that more than makes up for its size by deploying great swaths of cartoon-bright colors. The meticulously crafted sculpture stands eye-high, and is dozens of feet long, with tiny details of grass, telephone wires, and, of course, the barrier fence marching along its surface. Croix's emphasis on scale is a "monumental miniature" entitled Broken Landscape IV that depicts a long, deep slice of the U.S./Mexican border. Entitled Hollow Ground, I found it very likable and, frankly, far more interesting live than it looks in pictures. Croix's sculptural illusion is effective, yet it's also obviously a physically challenging bit of installation. This witty miniature is balanced by a massive, tilting construction in the huge gallery beyond that looks for all the world like a life-size swath of melting glacier, which you can perambulate and walk under, and even poke your head up into (via some of its melty craters). Its cars are loaded with modeled tranches of tundra, neatly offering a solution to the show's titular problem. Notable in this regard is an electric train set that runs in a circle near the entrance to the exhibition, piercing a wall tunnel-like twice as it goes round and round. Croix hasn't lost his sense of humor - much of his work is quite playful, even as it confronts our pending global disaster. It also includes a great deal of smaller-scale work, covering a range of media from drawing to sculpture, installation, animation, and video, in addition to a research section that offers sketches, photographs, and other ephemera.

Women between the ages of 30 and 35 still have a reasonably high chance of getting pregnant. However, your fertility has already begun to decline by the time you turn 30. After the age of 30, your chances of pregnancy decline by about 3% each year. Most significantly, your fertility drops sharply after the age of 35. At age 37, you can expect to have just 25,000 eggs - 2.5% of your starting count. The risks of getting pregnant are also higher after age 35. By age 35, you are more likely to experience miscarriage, pregnancy complications, and genetic abnormalities of the fetus. For more information on getting pregnant in your 30s, check out our blog post here. You are significantly less likely to get pregnant in your 40s than in your 20s or early 30s. By age 40, your chances of getting pregnant are only 5% during each menstrual cycle, compared with 25% per cycle during your 20s. Your odds of miscarriage, pregnancy complications, and birth defects (such as Down syndrome) are also highest in your 40s. In your 40s, you may only have a few years if you want to get pregnant naturally. By age 45, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women. After age 45, you will probably need to use assisted reproductive technology, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), to get pregnant. For more information on getting pregnant in your 40s, check out our blog post here.Īge plays an important role in fertility. Your chances of being able to get pregnant naturally start to lower slightly in your late 20s, and considerably in your late 30s. Once you hit 40, your chances of conceiving can drop to 5-10%. By the age of 45, the chance of pregnancy drops to less than 5%. These are statistics for the general population, but there’s always room for outliers. There are instances where a 24-year-old can be struggling to conceive, while older women approaching menopause can have an unexpected pregnancy. It’s essential to understand how your age impacts your fertility when you are trying to conceive (TTC) or thinking about conceiving soon. Here are some of the ways in which your age may impact the risks of pregnancy. The risk of having a miscarriage in your 40s is nearly 50%, more than three times that of a woman in her 20s. The younger you are, the less likely you are to miscarry, given that you are otherwise healthy. That’s because the genetic mutations that cause most miscarriages become more common as women age. Many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many family friends.It’s estimated that half of all miscarriages are caused by extra or missing chromosomes.
