Failure or degradation of the flight control system, or hull damage, can lead to loss of vehicle control during entry. Possible failure scenarios are debris impact and wing damage that could result in a large aerodynamic asymmetry which cannot be trimmed out without additional yaw control. Currently the space shuttle uses aerodynamic control surfaces and Reaction Control System jets to control ...

Broken adaptive ridge (BAR) is a computationally scalable surrogate to $$L_0$$ -penalized regression, which involves iteratively performing reweighted $$L_2$$ penalized regressions and enjoys some appealing properties of both while avoiding their limitations. In this paper, we extend the BAR method semi-parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) model for right-censored survival data. Specifical...
