Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Edifor, E., Walker, M., & Gordon, N. (2012). Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees. Lecture notes in computer science, 7612 LNCS, 99-110. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33678-2_9

Fault Tree Analysis has been used in reliability engineering for many decades and has seen various modifications to enable it to analyse fault trees with dynamic and temporal gates so it can incorporate sequential failure in its analysis. Pandora is... Read More about Quantification of priority-OR gates in temporal fault trees.

This article gives a general overview of emotions in robotics. It sheds light on the composition of emotions in human beings and how this information can be used as blue print for creation of emotional robots. It discusses different factors involved... Read More about Emotions in robots.

A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, Y., Kambhampati, C., Davis, D. N., Goode, K., & Cleland, J. G. F. (2012). A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data. In Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD), 2012 9th International Conference on (2840-2844). https://doi.org/10.1109/fskd.2012.6233805

Clinical data often contains missing values. Imputation is one of the best known schemes to overcome the drawbacks associated with missing values in data mining tasks. In this work, we compared several imputation methods and analyzed their performanc...
