โฆ Synopsis
It is shown that, for a suitably chosen probability function, the maximum likelihood rule for vote aggregation coincides with the Borda rule, thus, partially reconciling the Borda and the Condorcet methods.

To obtain the correlation dimension and entropy from an experimental time series we derive estimators for these quantities together with expressions for their variances using a maximum likelihood approach. The validity of these expressions is supported by Monte Carlo simulations. We illustrate the u
## Abstract The emerging technology of positron emission image reconstruction is introduced in this paper as a multicriteria optimization problem. We show how selected families of objective functions may be used to reconstruct positron emission images. We develop a novel neural network approach to
