the parameters used to determine the trophic state of a water body are: total phosphorus (tp),transparency (secchi disk depth) and chlorophyll a. however, these parameters show strong seasonalfluctuations which may hinder the estimation of trophic state. some authors have proposed that sediments be used as an additional tool to evaluate the trophic state of a water body. the aim of this study w...

In this paper a new method is introduced for path planning of an autonomous vehicle. In this method, the environment is considered cluttered and with some uncertainty sources. Thus, the state of detected object should be estimated using an optimal filter. To do so, the state distribution is assumed Gaussian. Thus the state vector is estimated by a Kalman filter at each time step. The estimation...

This paper presents an approach to accurate and scalable multiple-model state estimation for hybrid systems with intermittent, multi-modal dynamics. The approach consists of using discrete-state estimation to identify a system’s behavioral context and determine which motion models appropriately represent current dynamics, and which multiple-model filters are appropriate for state estimation. Th...

Fast state estimation and system identification are essential to the reliability of the increasingly complex power system. Current estimation, on slower, steady-state, time scales does not model dynamics; however, with the deployment of phasor measurement units, faster estimation is now possible. We introduce a robust state estimator that learns the dynamic state of the power system on fast tim...

Background and objectives: Risk-adjusted Bernoulli control chart is one of the main tools for monitoring multistage healthcare processes to achieve higher performance and effectiveness in healthcare settings. Using parameter estimates can lead to significantly deteriorate chart performance. However, so far, the effect of estimation error on this chart in which healthcare ...
