Regressive Augmentation: Investigating Ubicomp’s Romantic Promises

Promises, promises.

In the target article I argued that cognitive neuropsychologists have increasingly deviated from the original goals and methods of the subject. In this reply to the commentators, I argue that future progress using neuropsychological approaches to understanding behaviour is most likely to be made by the use of converging sources of evidence that are garnered by an interdisciplinary methodology. ...

Promises, promises.

It’s easy to think that there is no problem facing medicine that information technology can’t solve. Experience in the US gives little reason for optimism. Huge investments havemostly failed to solve old problems and have created new ones. US doctors report spending two hours on computer tasks for every hour with patients (doi:10.7326/M16-0961). Poor usability and limited interoperability of el...

Regressive Analysis ∗

The regressive analytical method which can be generally understood as the way backward occurs in science on different levels. In scientific practice it represent research, i. e., activities of scientists when looking for the conditions necessary to solve given problems. On the methodological level it stands for ordering a given set of statements, and, finally, on the foundational level it gives...

Combining Regressive and Auto-Regressive Models for Spatial-Temporal Prediction

A two-phased method for prediction in spatialtemporal domains is proposed. After an ordinary regression model is trained on spatial data, a prediction is adjusted by incorporating autoregressive modeling of residuals in time. The prediction accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated on simulated agricultural data with a significant improvement of accuracy for both linear and non-linear regres...
