一种改进的多机器人协作实时FastSLAM算法

针对FastSLAM1.0中机器人缺乏自身定位测量修正引起的累积误差和FastSLAM2.0引入测量修正引起算法复杂度增加的问题,提出一种改进的基于辅助测量的多机器人协作实时FastSLAM算法,使用双机器人协同工作,领头机器人负责完成同时定位与地图构建任务,辅助机器人通过静态相对位置测量为领头机器人提供实时定位测量修正.该辅助测量方法不仅为SLAM任务执行机器人提供较准确的定位测量值,同时也避免了FastSLAM2.0算法中额外的算法复杂度问题.实验结果表明算法既可以获得较高的精度,而且方便可行,具有较高实用价值.     

Place Versus Response Learning Revisited: Tests of Blocking on the Radial Maze.

Neurobiological and behavioral research indicates that place learning and response learning occur simultaneously, in parallel. Such findings seem to conflict with theories of associative learning in which different cues compete for learning. The authors conducted place + response training on a radial maze and then tested place learning and response learning separately by reconfiguring the maze in various ways. Consistent with the effects of manipulating place and response systems in the brain (M. G. Packard & J. L. McGaugh, 1996), well-trained rats showed strong place learning and strong response learning. Three experiments using associative blocking paradigms indicated that prior response learning interferes with place learning. Blocking and related tests can be used to better understand how memory systems interact during learning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

一种改进的一致性数据融合算法

针对目前数字滤波算法中存在对先验信息要求苛刻及定义数据间支持度中门限的预先设定问题,在基于测量方差加权算法基础上,引入相对距离和置信距离的思想对其次优融合估计结果进行改进。仿真结果直观地说明了该估计算法的有效性。     

四波长分光光度法测定四组分的研究

利用四波长分光先度法测定混合四组分中的任一组分，在任意的测量波长组合下，使共存的三种干扰组分的吸先光度为零，从而消除干扰，即△A=Aλ1 K2Aλ2 K3Aλ K4Aλ4只与待测组分的浓度成正比，可以直接测定混合组分中的任一组分或四组分，不必进行分离及繁杂的计算，以相对误差为标准，用计算机来选择最佳测定波长组合，获得较好的准确度和精密度。通过对对硝基酚(PNP)，对氨基酚(PAP)，对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)，醋酸混合组分的合成样品分析，其相对误差均小于5％，具有一定的应用价值。     

基于置信度的手写体数字识别多分类器动态组合

多分类器组合利用不同分类器、不同特征之间的互补性，提高了组合分类器的识别率。传统的组合方法里，各分类器在组合中所承担的角色是固定的，而实际应用中，对于不同的测试样本，每个分类器识别结果的可信度是不同的。该文根据分类器置信度理论，提出了各类别的置信度。用测试样本自身的置信度信息实现分类器的动态组合，并把这种动态组合方法具体应用到手写体数字的识别。这种方法还可以在不影响已有数据的情况下添加新的分类器进行组合。

Implementing the Double Bootstrap

The single bootstrap already is popular in economics, though the double bootstrap has better convergence properties. We discuss the theory and implementation of the double bootstrap, both with and without the pivotal transformation, and give detailed examples of each. One example is a nonlinear double bootstrap of a Cobb-Douglas production function, and explains the use of Gauss-Newton Regressions as a device to decrease computational time. Another example is double bootstrapping elasticities from a translog production function.     

Statistical Inference about the Shape Parameter of the New Two‐parameter Bathtub‐shaped Lifetime Distribution

This paper proposes a simple and exact method for conducting a statistical test about the shape parameter of the new two‐parameter lifetime distribution with a bathtub‐shaped or increasing failure rate function, as well as an exact confidence interval for the same parameter. The necessary critical values of the test are given. The method provided in this paper can be used for type II right censored data. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation and an example are used to compare this new method to the existing approach of Chen (Statistics and Probability Letters 2000; 49:155–161).

Beyond the "Self in Self-Efficacy: Spouse Confidence Predicts Patient Survival Following Heart Failure.

Ratings of patient efficacy to manage illness, made by 191 congestive heart failure patients and their spouses, were examined as predictors of patients' survival over the next 4 years. When considered alone, both the patient's self-efficacy and the spouse's confidence ratings predicted survival, but only spouse confidence remained significant when both partners" efficacy ratings were included in the same Cox regression model. The overlapping prognostic significance of spouse confidence and a global, multicomponent measure of marital quality positioned the former as a proxy for the latter, reflecting a fundamentally social protective factor in patient survival. Successful adaptation to heart failure appears to involve more than the patient's personal agency, and psychosocial data from spouses can improve prediction of patient outcomes.
