Western Music history can be divided into six major categories: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Post-War. We analyzed a large collection of music from each time period discovered clear mathematical connection. Within period, we found that the note frequencies measured in hertz (Hz) durations are all Benford distributed. also as progressed through time, lengths adhered closer to distribution with exception Post-War period.
Dichotomization is often used on clinical and diagnostic settings to simplify interpretation. For example, a person with systolic diastolic blood pressure above 140 over 90 may be prescribed medication. Blood as well other factors such age cholesterol their interactions lead increased risk of certain diseases. When using dichotomized variable determine diagnosis, if the variables are not considered, then an incorrect threshold for continuous selected. In this paper, we compare single...
Tree-based methods are commonly used to create models that predict an output based on several input variables. Classification and Regression Trees (CARTs) is a popular algorithm builds tree-like graphs for predicting continuous categorical dependent variables, but it has been shown be biased toward the inclusion of Conditional inference technique alleviate this bias. C.Logic alternative tree-based method uses Boolean logic classification trees. Previous research superior CART in identifying...
In this paper we analyze the distribution of musical note frequencies in Hertz to see whether they follow logarithmic Benford distribution. Our results show that music Johann Sebastian Bach and Christian is distributed while computer-generated not. We also find statistically less than human- composed music.
