Data‐driven parameter tuning for rational feedforward controller: Achieving optimal estimation via instrumental variable

open access: yesIET Control Theory & Applications, 2021
Feedforward control has been widely used to improve the tracking performance of precision motion systems. This paper develops a new data‐driven feedforward tuning approach associated with rational basis functions.

Predicting the Direction of Causal Effect Based on an Instrumental Variable Analysis: A Cautionary Tale

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2016
An instrumental variable can be used to test the causal null hypothesis that an exposure has no causal effect on the outcome, by assessing the association between the instrumental variable and the outcome.

An introduction to instrumental variable assumptions, validation and estimation

open access: yesEmerging Themes in Epidemiology, 2018
The instrumental variable method has been employed within economics to infer causality in the presence of unmeasured confounding. Emphasising the parallels to randomisation may increase understanding of the underlying assumptions within epidemiology.

Instrumental Variables: An Econometrician's Perspective [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
I review recent work in the statistics literature on instrumental variables methods from an econometrics perspective. I discuss some of the older, economic, applications including supply and demand models and relate them to the recent applications in settings of randomized experiments with noncompliance.

Instrumental Variable-Based OMP Identification Algorithm for Hammerstein Systems

open access: yesComplexity, 2018
Hammerstein systems are formed by a static nonlinear block followed by a dynamic linear block. To solve the parameterizing difficulty caused by parameter coupling between the nonlinear part and the linear part in a Hammerstein system, an instrumental ...

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.
