Elliptical distributions are useful for modelling multivariate data, multivariate normal and Student t distributions being two special classes. In this paper, we provide a definition for the elliptical tempered stable (ETS) distribution based on its charac ...
We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...
The present contribution demonstrates the applicability of polynomial chaos expansion to stochastic (optimal) AC power flow problems that arise in the operation of power grids. For rectangular power flow, polynomial chaos expansion together with Galerkin p ...
This paper provides an original framework for the fatigue reliability analysis of a road bridge; the framework is applied to the Venoge bridge, a composite steel concrete bridge within the A1 Swiss highway. Two critical details are selected by inspection: ...
Dynamic optimization problems affected by uncertainty are ubiquitous in many application domains. Decision makers typically model the uncertainty through random variables governed by a probability distribution. If the distribution is precisely known, then ...
A shape grammar defines a procedural shape space containing a variety of models of the same class, e.g. buildings, trees, furniture, airplanes, bikes, etc. We present a framework that enables a user to interactively design a probability density function (p ...
Programming by Demonstration (PbD) offers a user-friendly way of skill transfer from human to robot. Typically, demonstration data do not contain the control inputs required to reproduce the demonstrated skill. These control commands can be obtained from a ...
Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is the technique of choice for non-invasive assessments of human bone blood flow. However, DCS classical algorithms are based on the fundamental assumption that the electric field of the light reaching the DCS photode ...
We present a risk-averse multi-dimensional newsvendor model for a class of products whose demands are strongly correlated and subject to fashion trends that are not fully understood at the time when orders are placed. The demand distribution is known to be ...
The paper aims at assessing the effects of combined voltage and/or current synchrophasor measurements, and their associated uncertainties, on the accuracy of state estimators adopted in distribution systems. Such an assessment is first carried out with res ...
