  • Decision Tree Learning– Solution
    Decision Tree Learning{ Solution 1) Assume that you have the following training examples available: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 Class Example 1 t t f f f p Example 2 f f t t f p Example 3 t f f t f p Example 4 t f t f t p Example 5 f t f f f n Example 6 t t f t t n Example 7 f t t t t n Use all of the training examples to construct a decision tree. In case of ties between features, break ties in favor of features with smaller numbers (for ex- ample, favor F1 over F2, F2 over F3, and so on). How does the resulting decision tree classify the following example: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 Class Example 8 f f f t t ? Answer: Let H(x; y) denote the entropy of a data set with x examples belonging to class p and y examples belonging to class n. That is, x x y y H(x; y) = − log − log : x + y 2 x + y x + y 2 x + y We precompute the values for some H(x; y), which will be useful when con- structing the decision tree. H(0; x) = H(x; 0) = −1 log2 1 − 0 log2 0 = 0 H(x; x) = −(1=2) log2 (1=2) − (1=2) log2 (1=2) = 1 H(1; 2) = H(2; 1) = −(1=3) log2 (1=3) − (2=3) log2 (2=3) = 0:918 H(1; 3) = H(3; 1) = −(1=4) log2 (1=4) − (3=4) log2 (3=4) = 0:811 First, we choose from f F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 g to become the root.

  • What Are We Doing with (Or To) the F-Scale?
    5.6 What Are We Doing with (or to) the F-Scale? Daniel McCarthy, Joseph Schaefer and Roger Edwards NOAA/NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman, OK 1. Introduction Dr. T. Theodore Fujita developed the F- Scale, or Fujita Scale, in 1971 to provide a way to compare mesoscale windstorms by estimating the wind speed in hurricanes or tornadoes through an evaluation of the observed damage (Fujita 1971). Fujita grouped wind damage into six categories of increasing devastation (F0 through F5). Then for each damage class, he estimated the wind speed range capable of causing the damage. When deriving the scale, Fujita cunningly bridged the speeds between the Beaufort Scale (Huler 2005) used to estimate wind speeds through hurricane intensity and the Mach scale for near sonic speed winds. Fujita developed the following equation to estimate the wind speed associated with the damage produced by a tornado: Figure 1: Fujita's plot of how the F-Scale V = 14.1(F+2)3/2 connects with the Beaufort Scale and Mach number. From Fujita’s SMRP No. 91, 1971. where V is the speed in miles per hour, and F is the F-category of the damage. This Amazingly, the University of Oklahoma equation led to the graph devised by Fujita Doppler-On-Wheels measured up to 318 in Figure 1. mph flow some tens of meters above the ground in this tornado (Burgess et. al, 2002). Fujita and his staff used this scale to map out and analyze 148 tornadoes in the Super 2. Early Applications Tornado Outbreak of 3-4 April 1974.

    TRAINING AND PERIODIZATION FOR SNOWBOARD CROSS, PARALLEL SLALOM AND PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM Ilona Ruotsalainen Science of Sport Coaching and Fitness Testing Coaching Seminar LBIA016 Spring 2012 Department of Biology of Physical Activity University of Jyväskylä Supervisor: Antti Mero ABSTRACT Ruotsalainen, Ilona 2012. Training and periodization for snowboard cross, parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom. Science of Sport Coaching and Fitness Testing. Coaching Seminar, LBIA016, Department of Biology of Physical Activity, Univer- sity of Jyväskylä, 42 pages. Snowboarding is a popular recreational sport, but it is also an elite sport. Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since 1998. There will be five different snowboarding disci- plines competed in Winter Olympics in Sochi 2014 (half-pipe, parallel giant slalom, parallel slalom, snowboard cross and slopestyle). Most of the snowboard cross and par- allel event competitions are organized by International Ski Federation (FIS). FIS also organizes the World Cup and every second year Snowboard World Championships. Snowboarding environment is challenging. Riders are frequently exposed to training in cold environments and at high altitudes. Because snowboarding is a technical sport snowboarders spend extensive time on-snow training. Apart from that elite snowboard- ers need to have a good physical fitness. Snowboarders experiences high ground reac- tion forces (McAlpine 2010). They also need to have good aerobic fitness, anaerobic capacity as well as good balance and power production capacity (Bakken et al. 2011; Bosco 1997; Creswell & Mitchell 2009; Neumayer et al. 2003; Platzer at al. 2009; Szmedra et al. 2001; Veicsteinas et al. 1984). Also, coaches have to pay attention to injury prevention because snowboarders, especially snowboard cross riders, have high risk of injuries (Flørenes et al.

The mass start was used, for example, in the one of the first races, the ‘Inferno’ in Mürren Switzerland, developed by a group of British skiers. Modern variations of the ‘mass start’ concept were first used in snowboarding and now in skiing since the late 1990’s. Ski Cross is an action packed event with Athletes using a combination of skills competing head to head on a Cross Course with rollers, bank turns and jumps, all done with an attitude. “First through the finish wins.” SKI CROSS OVERVIEW Internationally, Ski Cross is governed by the Freestyle branch of the FIS and therefore the FIS Freestyle ICR is the rule book used to govern Ski Cross. The instructions and rules contained in this document are only a summary of the rules of Ski Cross. THE HISTORY OF SKI CROSS The Canadian Ski Cross team was formed in June of 2007 after the IOC decision to include the freestyle discipline into the Olympic program for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) in Vancouver, BC - following a very successful introduction of its sibling discipline Snowboard Cross at the 2006 OWG in Torino, Italy. In essence the Alpine Canada Ski Cross program focused solely on World Cup, World Championships, and Olympic Winter Games performance in alignment with the funding requirements set forth via Own The Podium (OTP).
