Characteristics of Successful Inclusive STEM High Schools and their Impact on Student Outcomes
There has been a growing interest across the U.S. in expanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) opportunities for our nation’s youth through STEM-focused high schools – particularly for those groups who are under-represented in these high-growth fields (including minorities, females, and students from low-income families). Inclusive STEM high schools are designed to increase participation…

Analyzing hyperspectral images into multiple subspaces using Gaussian mixture models
I argue that the spectra in a hyperspectral datacube will usually lie in several low-dimensional subspaces, and that these subspaces are more easily estimated from the data than the endmembers.
