The Size of the Union Membership Wage Premium in Britain’s Private Sector [PDF]
The paper estimates the union wage premium in Britain’s private sector in 1998, after nearly two decades of union decline. It examines the performance of the linear estimator alongside a semi-parametric technique (propensity score matching (PSM ...

Experimental Investigation for RUAV's Actuator Fault Detections with AESMF
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2015 The adaptive extended set-membership filter (AESMF) algorithm for robots' online modelling is today proposed for use in this field. Compared to the traditional ESMF, this novel filter method improves estimation accuracy under variable boundaries of ...

Testing for Hypothetical Bias in Contingent Valuation Using a Latent Choice Multinomial Logit Model [PDF]
The most persistently troubling empirical result in the contingent valuation method literature is the tendency for hypothetical willingness to pay to overestimate real willingness to pay.

Robust Interval-Based Localization Algorithms for Mobile Sensor Networks
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2011 This paper considers the localization problem in mobile sensor networks. Such a problem is a challenging task, especially when measurements exchanged between sensors may contain outliers, that is, data not matching the observation model.

Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Poverty in Ghana Using Fuzzy Sets Theory [PDF]
The paper studies the multidimensional aspects of poverty and living conditions in Ghana. The aim is to fill the vacuum that has been left by traditional uni-dimensional measures of deprivation based on poverty lines, exclusively estimated on the basis ...

A Set-Theoretic Algorithm for Real-Time Terrain Mapping of Mobile Robots in Outdoor Environments
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013 In this paper, we address the problem of mapping outdoor rough terrain environments for mobile robots. While uncertainties arising from multiple sources are considered explicitly and assumed to be unknown-but-bounded, a set-theoretic framework is ...

Set Membership Adaptive Non Parametric Identification of Non-Linear Systems
IEEE AccessAdaptation is a desirable feature when dealing with the identification of complex systems. However, this property can be difficult to achieve when non-convex model structures such as neural networks are employed to parametrize the unknown system.
