Nowadays, there is an increasing use of sampling methods in network and spatial populations. Although the most common link-tracing designs such as adaptive cluster sampling and snowball sampling have advantages over conventional sampling designs such as simple random sampling and cluster sampling, these designs still present many drawbacks. Adaptive web sampling is a new link-tracing design tha...

In order to improve the optimal performance of a machining process, a booster to improve the serve control system performance with high stability for EDM is needed. According to precise movement of machining process using electrical discharge (EMD), adaptive control is proposed as a major option for accuracy and performance improvement. This article is done to design adaptive controller based o...

this paper studies the use of unscented kalman filters (ukf) to estimate nonlinear dynamics and, specifically, adaptive determination of scaling parameters in these filters. due to lack of analytic solution and use of numerical methods instead, the computational load of these filters increases drastically. in this paper, a new method is proposed based on interactive multiple models (imm) which ...
