Rapidly completing the exploration and construction of unknown environments is an important task a UAV cluster. However, formulation online autonomous strategy based on real-time detection map still problem that needs to be discussed optimized. In this paper, we propose distributed environment framework for cluster comprehensively considers path terminal state gain, which called Distributed Nex...

Time-location sampling (TLS) is used to collect information from hard-to-reach populations by sampling persons at locations at which they may be found. Epidemiologic studies using TLS have often been analyzed ignoring both clustering within locations and the differential probabilities that persons are sampled. I propose a weighted analysis reflecting approximate differential sampling probabilit...

The distance-dependent Chinese Restaurant Process (dd-CRP) is a flexible class of distributions over partitions which was recently introduced by [1, 2]. In their description and experiments Blei and Frazier focus on the sequential setting such as clustering over time. Their Gibbs sampler, while general in nature, does not explicitly handle the case of non-sequential (also called spatial) cluste...

We present preliminary results from two deep HRI ROSAT exposures on the Sculp-toris open cluster. This cluster, younger than the Pleiades, has photometric indicators that seem to imply a metal-poor cluster. On the contrary detailed analysis of high resolution spectroscopic observations results in a metal abundance higher than the solar value. Furthermore many cluster members show chromospheric ...

Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) surveys are commonly used for monitoring and evaluation in resource-limited settings. Recently several methods have been proposed to combine LQAS with cluster sampling for more timely and cost-effective data collection. For some of these methods, the standard binomial model can be used for constructing decision rules as the clustering can be ignored. For ot...

There has been increasing interest in diatom-based bio-assessment but we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how to capture diatoms' temporal dynamics with an appropriate sampling frequency (ASF). To cover this research gap, we collected and analyzed daily riverine diatom samples over a 1-year period (25 April 2013-30 April 2014) at the outlet of a German lowland river. The samples were...

BACKGROUND Measuring vaccination coverage permits evaluation and appropriate targeting of vaccination services. The cluster survey methodology developed by the World Health Organization, known as the 'Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) methodology', has been used worldwide to assess vaccination coverage; however, the manner in which households are selected has been criticized by survey stat...
