Precision UAV collision avoidance using computationally efficient avoidance maps
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2018-01-08)This paper combines the notion of avoidance maps for collision avoidance between UAVs, proposed earlier in the literature, with requirement of the UAVs returning to their originally planned path. As the return path may ... -
Predicting asthma patients' total cost using neural networks and linear regression
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2022-12)In this paper, we analyze a population of asthma patients trying to predict the total cost of their treatment based on various demographic, clinical, and pharmacological data. We are comparing a neural network architecture ... -
Predicting engineering student attrition risk using a probabilistic neural network and comparing results with a backpropagation neural network and logistic regression
(Springer Nature, 2018-05)As the need for engineers continues to increase, a growing focus has been placed on recruiting students into the field of engineering and retaining the students who select engineering as their field of study. As a result ... -
Predicting graft survival among kidney transplant recipients: A Bayesian decision support model
(Elsevier, 2018-02)Predicting the graft survival for kidney transplantation is a high stakes undertaking considering the shortage of available organs and the utilization of healthcare resources. The strength of any predictive model depends ... -
Predicting pediatric clinic no-shows: a decision analytic framework using elastic net and Bayesian belief network
(Springer, 2018-04)No-shows are becoming a major problem in primary care facilities, creating additional costs for the facility while adversely affecting the quality of patient care. Accurately predicting no-shows plays an important role in ... -
Predicting recloser failure rates from field condition assessment
(2005-12)This research develops a technique to predict the failure rate of a power distribution system recloser. The prediction is based on suggested criterion given and defined within this paper. Because inspection practices differ ... -
Predicting the failure probability and reliability based design, optimization for pipelines
(ASME, 2017)A probabilistic model is developed in this study for calculating the failure probability and finding the associated reliability for a given pipeline in a plant affected by the time-dependent failure by corrosion. This is ... -
Predicting viscoelastic behavior of fabric composites using finite element based micromechanics model
