They also conducted a variety of mid-deck experiments, including the Microgravity Disturbance Experiment ( MDE ) using the Fluids Experiment Apparatus ( FEA ), Protein Crystal Growth ( PCG ), American Flight Echocardiograph ( AFE ), Latitude / Longitude Locator ( L3 ), Mesoscale Lightning Experiment ( MLE ), Characterization of Neurospora Circadian Rhythms ( CNCR ) and the IMAX camera.

Maximum likelihood estimation ( also known as MLE or MaxLik ) is a popular technique for dealing with the problems of linear inversion.

Note that an arbitrary initial separation vector will typically contain some component in the direction associated with the MLE, and because of the exponential growth rate, the effect of the other exponents will be obliterated over time.

Furthermore, MLE researchers regularly contributed to international research forums of the European Commission, the Association for Computing Machinery, and others concerned with advancing technologies and their constructive uses.

MLE held a highly successful international conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression ( NIME-02 ) in May 2002.

In statistics, maximum-likelihood estimation ( MLE ) is a method of estimating the parameters of a statistical model.

Assuming that the heights are normally ( Gaussian ) distributed with some unknown mean and variance, the mean and variance can be estimated with MLE while only knowing the heights of some sample of the overall population.

It is common to refer to the largest one as the Maximal Lyapunov exponent ( MLE ), because it determines a notion of predictability for a dynamical system.

A positive MLE is usually taken as an indication that the system is chaotic ( provided some other conditions are met, e. g., phase space compactness ).

The Wishart distribution is the sampling distribution of the maximum-likelihood estimator ( MLE ) of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution with mean zero.

A derivation of the MLE uses the spectral theorem.

The in-house MLE has now been replaced by Desire2Learn from the 2008 / 09 academic year onwards with the Virtual Learning Portal being officially retired at the end of 2008.

For example, one common approach, called parametric empirical Bayes point estimation, is to approximate the marginal using the maximum likelihood estimate ( MLE ), or a Moments expansion, which allows one to express the hyperparameters in terms of the empirical mean and variance.

But since the posterior is a Gamma distribution, the MLE of the marginal turns out to be just the mean of the posterior, which is the point estimate we need.

IFOCE changed its name to Major League Eating ( MLE ) in the early 2000s.

Media Lab Europe ( MLE ) was a research institute in Dublin, Ireland based on the MIT Media Lab.

MLE was created in July 2000 and was initiated by the Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.

The MLE board initially included celebrity Bono from U2: in 2002, he stepped down in favour of fellow band member The Edge whose technical interests better fit the laboratory's mission and who ( unlike Bono ) regularly attended meetings of the board.

MLE was quite successful and managed to recreate the creative play research atmosphere of the MIT Media Lab.

By 2004 MLE was in full swing, and in the lab's short lifespan the researchers produced 21 refereed journal articles, 59 refereed full papers for conferences, and 62 refereed shorter papers for conferences, for a total of 142 refereed works.

In May 2004, in conjunction with Ireland's hosting of the EU Presidency, MLE and the Department of Education and Science assembled New Futures for Learning in the Digital Age.

Although, in a call for proposals, the Higher Education Authority contradicted this by noting, " The HEA is delighted at the level of collaboration ( between MLE and Irish universities ) which has been achieved in the short time since Media Lab Europe was established.

Commenting in the Irish Times, Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the MIT Media Lab, said that the research at MLE was " beyond wildest expectations "; he was critical of European companies for their unwillingness to invest in the lab and said: " Many visitors to MLE thought the work in Dublin was more edgy than at MIT.

The unifying effect of religion is also brought out in the fact that historically peoples have clung together as more or less cohesive cultural units, with religion as the dominant bond, even though spatially dispersed and not politically organized.

By the end of the century the Roman Catholic Church was beginning to make itself felt, mainly through such institutions as hospitals but also through its attitude towards organized labour.

In January 1864 Johnson organized a gathering of his state's Union loyalists, where resolutions were passed to elect county officials throughout the state, including a plan for a convention to dispose of the slavery issue ; also adopted was a very controversial and mandatory oath for voters, to protect and preserve the Union in the future.

In addition to his public service work for charitable organizations for the handicapped, Capp also served on the National Reading Council, which was organized to combat illiteracy.

While at Oxford he also participated in Vietnam War protests and organized an October 1969 Moratorium event.

They also undertook anti-Austrian propaganda and organized spies and saboteurs to operate within the empire's provinces.

The Black Hand was organized at the grassroots level in 3-to 5-member cells, supervised by district committees and by a Central committee in Belgrade whose ten-member Executive Committee was led, more or less, by Colonel Dragutin Dimitrijević ( also known as Apis ).

The constellation was also used on the dark blue, shield-like patch worn by personnel of the U. S. Army's Americal Division, which was organized in the Southern Hemisphere, on the island of New Caledonia, and also the blue diamond of the U. S. 1st Marine Division, which fought on the Southern Hemisphere islands of Guadalcanal and New Britain.

Cheka departments were organized not only in big cities and guberniya seats, but also in each uyezd, at any front-lines and military formations.

Growers in New Jersey and Massachusetts were also organized into cooperatives, creating the National Fruit Exchange that marketed fruit under the Eatmor brand.

Theosophy is also considered a major influence on the many less institutionally organized varieties of esotericism in metaphysical milieus, " Ascended Master Activities ", and within the New Age.

Escoffier also simplified and organized the modern menu and structure of the meal.

The island also has a school wrestling league organized by the council and a programme to promote this sport in clubs.

The governments of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India and Mexico, among others, are also organized along federalist principles.

In addition to his cosmological writings, Bruno also wrote extensively on the art of memory, a loosely organized group of mnemonic techniques and principles.

Cold War realities and the hot war in nearby Korea also contributed significantly to the United States-influenced economic redevelopment, the suppression of communism, and the discouragement of organized labor in Japan during this period.

Summers also said that the Mafia had blackmail material on Hoover, which made Hoover reluctant to aggressively pursue organized crime.

: The knowledge base underlying the INTERNIST system is composed of two basic types of elements: disease entities and manifestations .... also contains a ... hierarchy of disease categories, organized primarily around the concept of organ systems, having at the top level such categories as " liver disease ," " kidney disease ," etc.

The congress was organized by Polish king Bolesław Chrobry and Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, and also led to the establishment of bishoprics in Kraków and Wrocław, connecting the territories of the Polish state.

Postals are also very often very well designed and organized, as well as ornate.

Most well known of the nation balls ( as opposed to balls organized by student unions ) is the ball hosted by Göteborgs Nation-called the " Gustaf II Adolf Ball " ( also known as the " GA-Ball ").
