|Associative reinforcement learning (ARL) tasks de ned originally by Barto and Anandan [1] combine elements of problems involving optimization under uncertainty, studied by learning automata theorists, and supervised learning pattern-classi cation. The stochastic real-valued (SRV) unit algorithm [6] has been designed for an extended version of ARL tasks wherein the learning system's outputs can...

Setting up control charts for given in-control ARL. The control charts un...

In this paper we propose the explicit formulas of Average Run Length (ARL) of Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart for Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average: ARIMA (p,d,q) (P, D, Q)L process with exponential white noise. To check the accuracy, the ARL results were compared with numerical integral equations based on the Gauss-Legendre rule. There was an excellent agreeme...

Two main approaches are possible when several correlated variables must be monitored: one multivariate quality control chart or a set of univariate charts. This paper deals with the optimal design of a set of EWMA control charts to monitor the mean of several quality variables simultaneously. A specific Markov’s chain model has been developed to compute the ARL of a set of p EWMA charts. An opt...

An important area of investigation in robotics perception and intelligent control concerns the ability to detect, track, and avoid humans operating in proximity to an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Under the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (RCTA), ARL and other member organizations have developed algorithms focused on human detection and tracking, which...

Information and Communication technologies (ICT) have been used to deliver knowledge to support agriculture and rural livelihood (ARL) for over ten years now. Yet, in India today, use of ICT to support ARL remains at an early stage. Our survey in North Indian states shows that less than 10% of the Krishi Vigyan Kendras (Agricultural Science Centers) and other extension initiatives actively “use...

BACKGROUND Comparative study between the level of discomfort and the acoustic reflex in workers. AIM To observe the hearing behavior, through the assessment of the contraction activity of the stapedius muscle and the level of discomfort, of individuals who are and are not exposed to occupational noise, with the aim of identifying the influence of noise in the behavior of the contraction of th...

The ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family is one of four subfamilies of the RAS superfamily of low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins (G proteins). Highly degenerate oligonucleotides encoding two conserved regions were used in a PCR reaction to amplify cDNAs encoding each of the known ARF proteins and eight additional cDNA fragments encoding previously unreported human members of the ARF fami...

Acoustic Reflex Latency (ARL) is the time interval between onset of an intense auditory stimulus and onset of middle-ear muscle contraction. Unlike pure tone audiogram, the usual procedure to detect middle ear disorders and conductive hearing loss, ARL can differentiate between cochlear and retrocochlear pathologies, yields information about the nature of the conductive disorder, can detect mil...
