(b) Simulate the model (1) to produce T = 100 measurements y1:T . Based on these measurements compute the optimal (in the sense that it minimizes the mean square error) estimate of xt | y1:t for t = 1, . . . , T . Implement a bootstrap particle filter and compare to the optimal estimates. You can for example perform this comparison by plotting the root mean square estimate (RMSE) ε(N) as a func...

This paper presents the corpus-driven approach in building the computational model of fundamental frequency, or F0, for Lithuanian language. The model was obtained by training the HMM-based speech synthesis system HTS on six hours of speech coming from multiple speakers. Several gender specific models, using different parameters and different contextual factors, were investigated. The models we...

Cloud parameters (cloud mask, effective particle radius, and liquid/ice water path) are the important inputs in estimating surface solar radiation (SSR). These parameters can be derived from MODIS with high accuracy, but their temporal resolution is too low to obtain high-temporalresolution SSR retrievals. In order to obtain hourly cloud parameters, an artificial neural network (ANN) is applied...

The benefits of Free Space Optics (FSO) motivate to use it for future high data rate demanding communication applications. However, widespread growth of the technology has been hampered by reduced availability due to weather influences on the link. The fog has been analyzed as the most detrimental for FSO communication. There are some models that predict fog attenuation in terms of visibility. ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of ten gcms and three emission scenarios to reproduce the rainfall and temperature parameters in kermanshah, ravansar and west islamabad stations located inside qaresou basin in iran using the average weighting method, over 1989-2008 period. at first, the models output and the scenarios were provided for this period. then, the models valid...

The topographical features of fractured tensile, flexural, K1C, and impact specimens of monolithic epoxy have been studied and correlated with mechanical properties and surface features of samples before fracture. The topographical features studied include waviness (Wa), roughness average (Ra), root mean square value (Rq), and maximum roughness height (Rmax or Rz). As surface notches generate t...

• Predictive Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate how close the recommender system came to predicting actual rating/utility values. • Classification Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate the frequency with which a recommender system makes correct/incorrect decisions regarding items. • Rank Accuracy Measures. These measures evaluate the correctness of the ordering of items performed b...

We quantified the total variability (reproducibility) and the within-patient but between repeat anaesthetics variability (repeatability) in measures which are used to judge the predictive performance of our physiological model. We studied 14 patients who received enflurane closed-circuit anaesthesia on two occasions. The end-tidal concentrations measured and those predicted served to calculate ...
