This paper presents a new approach to active sensor fault tolerant tracking control (FTTC) for offshore wind turbine (OWT) described via Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) multiple models. The FTTC strategy is designed in such way that aims to maintain nominal wind turbine controller without any change in both fault and fault-free cases. This is achieved by inserting T–S proportional state estimators augmente...

In many practical situations sample sizes are not sufficiently large and estimators based on such samples may not be satisfactory in terms of their variances. At the same time it is not unusual that some auxiliary information about the parameters of interest is available. This paper considers a method of using auxiliary information for improving properties of the estimators based on a current s...

the linear system of equations ax = b where a = [aij ] in cn.n is a crispsingular matrix and the right-hand side is a fuzzy vector is called a singularfuzzy linear system of equations. in this paper, solving singular fuzzy linearsystems of equations using generalized inverses such as drazin inverse andpseudo-inverse are investigated.

This introduction to the object-orientation features of the R package sandwich is a (slightly) modified version of Zeileis (2006), published in the Journal of Statistical Software. Sandwich covariance matrix estimators are a popular tool in applied regression modeling for performing inference that is robust to certain types of model misspecification. Suitable implementations are available in th...

This chapter addresses the issues in air interface designs for Cognitive Radios. Fuzzy logic system is used as one of the soft computing techniques to learn to sub optimality and vagueness. Many good, simple, and quick fuzzy based solutions have been developed since few decades in many diverse domains. Through this chapter, the authors first discuss the significance and need of soft computing t...

I propose a nonparametric iid bootstrap procedure for the empirical likelihood (EL), the exponential tilting (ET), and the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (ETEL) estimators. The proposed bootstrap achieves sharp asymptotic refinements for t tests and confidence intervals based on such estimators. Furthermore, my bootstrap is robust to possible model misspecification, i.e., it achieves...

a mobile manipulator robot is known as a complex system due to some properties such as coupling between the manipulator and mobile chassis, holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, multivariable and nonlinear dynamics. the control of robot faces the external disturbance, parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics. therefore, the use of an adaptive fuzzy system is suggested for its capability ...

Complex parameters, such as poverty indicators, are usually difficult to predict in small area estimation (SAE). Elbers et al. (2003) have proposed an empirical semi-parametric method for dealing with poverty indices in SAE. This method, commonly called the ELL method, consists of drawing from the empirical residuals to reconstitute the entire census. After simulating the census, any complex pa...
