Uncertainty is a state of lack of certainty, where having incomplete knowledge can make it impossible to describe the outcome. There are many challenges that occur due to uncertainty. Uncertainty in events can cause losses of data, providing inaccurate data, noisy output. Thus the need to handle uncertainty is essential. This paper represents an outline of various methods through which the unce...

This paper presents an online method for the assessment of the dynamic performance of the chassis frame in a heavy-duty dump truck based on a novel stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method. It introduces the use of an average correlation signal as the input data to conventional SSI methods in order to reduce the noisy and nonstationary contents in the vibration signals from the frame, al...

Over the next few years new spectroscopic surveys (from the optical surveys of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 2 degree Field survey through to space-based ultraviolet satellites such as GALEX) will provide the opportunity and challenge of understanding how galaxies of different spectral type evolve with redshift. Techniques have been developed to classify galaxies based on their continuum...

We propose three novel methods for recovering edges in piecewise smooth functions from their possibly incomplete and noisy spectral information. The proposed methods utilize three different approaches: #1. The randomly-based sparse Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (sIFT); #2. The Total Variation-based (TV) compressed sensing; and #3. The modified zero crossing. The different approaches share a co...
