Seismic Resilience Assessment of a Regional Bridge Network

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the seismic resilience of a regional bridge network, focusing on the interconnectedness and interdependence among individual bridges and emergency facilities. A framework for resilience assessment is developed and applied to a bridge network in Vancouver, British Columbia, consisting of 11 bridges across seven main routes.

Combining Volatility Forecasts of Duration‐Dependent Markov‐Switching Models

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Duration‐dependent Markov‐switching (DDMS) models require a user‐specified duration hyperparameter, for which there is currently no established procedure for estimation or testing. As a result, an ad‐hoc duration choice must be heuristically justified.

Towards an intelligent energy conservation approach for context-aware systems in smart environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science
A smart personal space is a context-aware system that recognizes situations using contextual data. A user interacts within the personal space using smart devices that are mobile, and run-on batteries that have limited power.

Visualizing Uncertainty in Time Series Forecasts: The Impact of Uncertainty Visualization on Users' Confidence, Algorithmic Advice Utilization, and Forecasting Performance

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time series forecasts are always associated with uncertainty. However, experimental studies on the impact of uncertainty communication provide inconclusive results on the effect of providing this uncertainty to end users. In this study, we examine the impact of uncertainty visualizations on advice utilization in the context of time series ...

Convergence Bounds for Monte Carlo Markov Chains [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This review paper, written for the second edition of the Handbook of Markov Chain Monte Carlo, provides an introduction to the study of convergence analysis for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), aimed at researchers new to the field. We focus on methods for constructing bounds on the distance between the distribution of a Markov chain at a given time ...
