Economic-Statistical Design of a Control Chart for High Yield Processes When the Inspection is Imperfect

CCC-r control chart is a monitoring technique for high yield processes. It is based on the analysis of the number of inspected items until observing a specific number of defective items.  One of the assumptions in implementing CCC-r chart that has a significant effect on the design of the control chart is that the inspection is perfect. However, in reality, due to the multiple reasons, the...

Estimation of nonstationary spatial covariance structure

We introduce a method for estimating nonstationary spatial covariance structure from space-time data and apply the method to an analysis of Sydney wind patterns. Our method constructs a process honouring a given spatial covariance matrix at observing stations and uses one or more stationary processes to describe conditional behaviour given observing site values. The stationary processes give a ...

Perceptual Components for Context Aware Computing

In this paper we propose a software architecture for observing and modeling human activity. This architecture is derived from an ontology for context awareness. We propose a model in which a user’s context is described by a set of roles and relations. Different configurations of roles and relations correspond to situations within the context. The components of a context model are used to specif...

Connected speech processes in Warlpiri

Connected speech processes (CSP) in Warlpiri, an indigenous language of central Australia, taken from two fluent ‘dreaming’ monologues are analyzed with the aim of observing the influence of language particular phonological constraints and prosody upon phonetic processes of lenition, co-articulation and selective segmental enhancement.

On observing another person's actions: influences of observed inhibition and errors.

It was investigated whether an observer would simulate another person's inhibitory and error processes. Two participants sitting next to each other performed a stop signal task in which they occasionally had to try and inhibit their response when indicated to do so by a stop signal. They could either successfully stop the response or fail to stop and, thereby, make an error. An aftereffect of t...
