Networks with correlated edge processes

This article proposes methods to model non-stationary temporal graph processes motivated by a hospital interaction data set. This corresponds to modelling the observation of edge variables indicating interactions between pairs of nodes exhibiting dependenc ...

Roles of Clinical Features and Chest CT in Predicting the Outcomes of Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 Developing AKI

Ali Falsafi, Shekoofeh Yaghmaei

This research aimed to evaluate the clinical features and computed tomography (CT) scans associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). A total of 351 COVID-19 patients (100 AKI, 251 non-AKI) hospitalized at Imam Hossein ...

Causal modelling of heavy-tailed variables and confounders with application to river flow

Anthony Christopher Davison, Valérie Chavez

Confounding variables are a recurrent challenge for causal discovery and inference. In many situations, complex causal mechanisms only manifest themselves in extreme events, or take simpler forms in the extremes. Stimulated by data on extreme river flows a ...

Application of optimal spline subspaces for the removal of spurious outliers in isogeometric discretizations

Espen Sande

We show that isogeometric Galerkin discretizations of eigenvalue problems related to the Laplace operator subject to any standard type of homogeneous boundary conditions have no outliers in certain optimal spline subspaces. Roughly speaking, these optimal ...

A framework for occupancy detection and tracking using floor-vibration signals

Ian Smith, Slah Drira

In sensed buildings, information related to occupant movement helps optimize important func-tionalities such as caregiving, energy management, and security enhancement. Typical sensing approaches for occupant tracking rely on mobile devices and cameras. Th ...

Tests of mutual independence among several random vectors using univariate and multivariate ranks of nearest neighbours

Soham Sarkar

Testing mutual independence among several random vectors of arbitrary dimensions is a challenging problem in Statistics, and it has gained considerable interest in recent years. In this article, we propose some nonparametric tests based on different notion ...

Using footstep-induced vibrations for occupant detection and recognition in buildings

Ian Smith, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai, Slah Drira

Occupant detection and recognition support functional goals such as security, healthcare, and energy management in buildings. Typical sensing approaches, such as smartphones and cameras, undermine the privacy of building occupants and inherently affect the ...

Instrumented 5-Time Sit-To-Stand Test: Parameters Predicting Serious Falls beyond the Duration of the Test

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Arash Atrsaei, Yves Henchoz

Background: Falls are a major cause of injuries in older adults. To evaluate the risk of falls in older adults, clinical assessments such as the 5-time sit-to-stand (5xSTS) test can be performed. The development of inertial measurement units (IMUs) has pro ...

Measuring causality between collaborative and individual gaze metrics for collaborative problem-solving with intelligent tutoring systems

Kshitij Sharma, Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen

When students are working collaboratively and communicating verbally in a technology-enhanced environment, the system cannot track what collaboration is happening outside of the technology, making it difficult to fully assess the collaboration of the stude ...

Bayesian Monte Carlo assimilation for the PETALE experimental programme using inter-dosimeter correlation

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Dimitri Rochman, Axel Guy Marie Laureau

This article presents the methodology developed to generate and use dosimeter covariances and to estimate nuisance parameters for the PETALE experimental programme. In anticipation of the final experimental results, this work investigates the consideration ...
