Performance improvement of discrete‐time linear‐quadratic regulators applied to uncertain linear systems using the Tikhonov regularization method

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The linear‐quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of optimal control of an uncertain discrete‐time linear system (DTLS) is revisited in this paper from the perspective of Tikhonov regularization. We show that an optimally chosen regularization parameter reduces, compared to the classical LQR, the values of a scalar error function, as well as the ...

The Network Model of Mentalization, Social Vulnerability, and the Self in Autism: A Comparison With Neurotypical Adults

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by alterations in social understanding and self‐related experience that overlap with broader dimensions of psychosocial vulnerability. These domains are tightly interconnected, motivating the use of analytic approaches that can capture their organization as complex associations rather than as ...

Limited Discrepancy Between Cognitive Ability and Daily Living Skills in Autism: A Longitudinal Study From Ages 2–25

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many autistic individuals with average or higher cognitive abilities (also referred to as intelligence quotient; IQ) exhibit weaker than expected daily living skills (DLS). However, existing evidence is primarily cross‐sectional. This study examined: (1) how IQ‐DLS discrepancies develop from early childhood through early adulthood, (2) whether

Evaluating and leveraging large language models in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics assessment: From exam takers to exam shapers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In medical education, the ability of large language models (LLMs) to match human performance raises questions about their potential as educational tools. This study evaluates LLMs' performance on Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) exams, comparing their results to medical students and exploring their ability to identify poorly formulated
