Published

Author(s)

Patrick Grother, James Matey, George Quinn

Abstract

Bowyer and Ortiz, in their paper "A Critical Examination of the IREX VI Results", make seven criticisms of our application of linear mixed-effects models to longitudinally collected iris recognition Hamming Distances. We reject these as either irrelevant, misinterpretations or qualitatively correct but quantitatively irrelevant.
