A Turbo Code Tutorial
Turbo codes, first presented to the coding community in 1993 [1], represent the most important breakthrough in coding since Ungerboeck introduced trellis codes in 1982 [2]. Whereas Ungerboeck's work eventually led to coded modulation schemes capable of operation near capacity on bandlimited channels [3], the original turbo codes offer near-capacity performance for deep space and satellite channels. The invention of turbo codes involved reviving some dormant concepts and algorithms, and combining them with some clever new ideas. Because the principles surrounding turbo codes are both uncommon and novel, it has been difficult for the initiate to enter into the study of these codes. Complicating matters further is the fact that there exist now numerous papers on the topic so that there is no clear place to begin study of these codes. [via]

...In this thesis we study non-linear dynamical systems on complex domains. Although the systems we consider are mathematical abstractions, our motivation is to gain insights into neurobiological systems. The mathematical techniques we employ concern analysis on a particular class of fractal sets. This theory allows one to construct a L..
...Compute the Cholesky decomposition of a matrix. If X is a positive definite matrix with row and column dimensions n, then X can be factored into an upper triangular matrix R (also of dimension n) such that: X = R’R; where R’ refers to the transpose of R. Examples of positive definite matrices in statistical applications include the v..
...This tutorial explains in detail what factorial validity is and how to run its various aspects in PLS. The tutorial is written as a teaching aid for doctoral seminars that may cover PLS and for researchers interested in learning PLS. An annotated example with data is provided as an additional tool to assist the reader in reconstructi..
