A multisensor fusion Student's $t$ filter is proposed for time-series recursive estimation in the presence of heavy-tailed process and measurement noises. It extends single-sensor Kalman to setup based on suboptimal arithmetic average (...

Contrary to the law of effect and optimal foraging theory, pigeons show suboptimal choice behavior by choosing an alternative that provides 20% reinforcement over another that provides 50% reinforcement. They choose the 20% reinforcement alternative--in which 20% of the time, that choice results in a stimulus that always predicts reinforcement, and 80% of the time, it results in another stimulu...

INTRODUCTION Only few studies have investigated pain, nausea, sedation and analgesic strategies in post-craniotomy patients. The aim of this observational study was to explore pain, nausea, sedation and analgesic procedures after craniotomy, and to evaluate the quality of current analgesic therapy administered to post-craniotomy patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 59 patients undergoing...

This work is focused on the design and evaluation of a suboptimal classifier for dysarthria assessment. The classification relied on self organizing maps to discriminate 8 types of dysarthria and a normal group. The classification technique provided an excellent accuracy for assessment and enabled clinicians with a powerful relevance analysis of the input features. This technique also allows a ...

Most current games perform navigation in virtual environments through A* for path finding combined with a local movement algorithm. Navigation Meshes are the most popular approach to combine path finding with local movement. This paper presents a new Automatic Navigation Mesh Generator (ANavMG) that subdivides any polygon representing the environment, with or without holes, into a suboptimal nu...

The possibility of teleportation is certainly the most interesting consequence of quantum non-separability. In the present paper, the feasibility of teleportation is examined on the basis of the rigorous ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics if non-ideal constraints are imposed on the teleportation scheme. Importance is attached both to the case of noisy Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) ens...

Explicit information-seeking actions are needed to evaluate alternative actions in problem-solving tasks. Information-seeking costs are often traded off against the utility of information. We present three experiments that show how subjects adapt to the cost and information structures of environments in a map-navigation task. We found that subjects often stabilize at suboptimal levels of perfor...
