Variability sensitive Markov decision processes

Proceedings of the 28th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1992
Considered are time-average Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with finite state and action spaces. Two definitions of variability are introduced, namely, the expected time-average variability and time-average expected variability. The two criteria are in general different, although they can both be employed to penalize for variance in the stream of ...

Global study of variability in olfactory sensitivity.

Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
Variability in human olfactory sensitivity has been attributed to individual-level factors such as genetics, age, sex, medical history of infections and trauma, neurogenerative diseases, and emotional disorders. Scarce evidence exists on the cross-cultural variation in olfactory sensitivity.

Generalized exponential type estimator for the mean of sensitive variable in the presence of non-sensitive auxiliary variable

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2020
We proposed a generalized two stage optional randomized response model by single sample approach and developed a generalized exponential type estimator for the mean of sensitive variable using information from a non-sensitive auxiliary variable.

A modified regression-cum-ratio estimator of population mean of a sensitive variable in the presence of non-response in simple random sampling

Journal of Statistics & Management Systems, 2020
A generalized class of estimators has been proposed for finite population mean of a sensitive study variable in the presence of non-response under a Simple Random Sampling Without Replacement design (SRSWOR) using the Randomized Response Technique (RRT ...

Interferometric surface mapping with variable sensitivity

Applied Optics, 1978
In the photolithographic process, presently employed for the production of integrated circuits, sets of correlated masks are used for exposing the photoresist on silicon wafers. Various sets of masks which are printed in different printing tools must be aligned correctly with respect to the structures produced on the wafer in previous process steps ...

Variable Receptor Affinity and Tissue Sensitivity

Journal of Vascular Research, 1991
Vascular smooth muscle sensitivity to norepinephrine (NE), measured by contractile responses in vitro, varied in different arteries of the rabbit and also in the same vessels in other species. There was a good correlation between variation in the affinity of NE for the α₁-adrenoceptor and tissue sensitivity.

Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy

2018
Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr), originally identified in 2008, was further characterized and renamed in 2010. Thirty-seven cases of VPSPr have been reported to date, consistent with estimated prevalence of 0.7-1.7% of all sporadic prion diseases.

Double-sampling regression-cum-exponential estimator of the mean of a sensitive variable

Mathematical Population Studies, 2019
A flexible scrambled response model using a randomization device for quantitative sensitive data is used to evaluate the protection of respondents’ privacy.

INTERPRETING ENVIRONAMENTAL VARIABILITY FROM DAMAGE SENSITIVE FEATURES

10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Smart Structures and Materials, 2023
Mitigation of Environmental and Operational Variabilities (EOVs) remains oneof the main challenges to adopt Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies. Its implementation in wind turbines is one of the most challenging due to the adverse weather and operating conditions these structures have to face.
