Importance analysis of noncoherent systems is limited, and is generally inaccurate because all measures of importance that have been developed are strictly for coherent analysis. This paper considers the probabilistic measure of component importance developed by Birnbaum (1969). An extension of this measure is proposed which enables noncoherent importance analysis. As a result of the proposed e...

In the low observation noise limit particle filters become inefficient. In this paper a simple-to-implement particle filter is suggested as a solution to this well-known problem. The proposed Local Importance Sampling based particle filters draw the particles’ positions in a two-step process that makes use of both the dynamics of the system and the most recent observation. Experiments with the ...
