The problem of segmentation of three-dimensional fMRI images based on the Bayesian approach is considered, where Markov Random Field is used as the prior distribution, and von Mises-Fisher distribution is used as the observation model. The main problem when applying this approach in practice is an estimation of the model parameters. In this paper, we review algorithms HMRF-MCEM, HMRF-EM and GrabCut, which implement this statistical model and estimate parameters without the usage of the labeled training data. The methods HMRF-EM and GrabCut were introduced in conjunction with other statistical models, but after a small modification, they can be used with the von Mises-Fisher distribution. A comparative study was carried out by performing experiments on both synthetic, generated from the statistical model, and real fMRI data.

Standard methodologies for redesigning physical networks rely on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which strongly depend on local demographic specifications. The absence of a universal definition of demography makes its use for cross-border purposes much more difficult. This paper presents a Decision Making Model (DMM) for redesigning networks that works without geographical constraints. There are multiple advantages of this approach: on one hand, it can be used in any country of the world; on the other hand, the absence of geographical constraints widens the application scope of our approach, meaning that it can be successfully implemented either in physical (ATM networks) or non-physical networks such as in group decision making, social networks, e-commerce, e-governance and all fields in which user groups make decisions collectively. Case studies involving both types of situations are conducted in order to illustrate the methodology. The model has been designed under a data reduction strategy in order to improve application performance.
