Data mining for heart failure : an investigation into the challenges in real life clinical datasets (2015)
Thesis
Kirke, L. Data mining for heart failure : an investigation into the challenges in real life clinical datasets. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218159

Clinical data presents a number of challenges including missing data, class imbalance, high dimensionality and non-normal distribution. A motivation for this research is to investigate and analyse the manner in which the challenges affect the perform...

A systematic review of current and emergent manipulator control approaches (2015)
Journal Article
Ajwad, S. A., Iqbal, J., Ullah, M. I., & Mehmood, A. (2015). A systematic review of current and emergent manipulator control approaches. Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering, 10(2), 198-210. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11465-015-0335-0

Pressing demands of productivity and accuracy in today’s robotic applications have highlighted an urge to replace classical control strategies with their modern control counterparts. This recent trend is further justified by the fact that the robotic... Read More about A systematic review of current and emergent manipulator control approaches.
