An example motivated discourse of the chi-squared test of association (2 by 2)
Other

An example application of the chi-square test of association is given through a set of questions and answers. The emphasis is on methodological aspects and what can be legitimately inferred, if anything. It is strongly highlighted that statistical...

An example motivated discourse of the independent samples t-test and the Welch test
Other

Analyses are given for two example scenarios. Both scenarios comprise two independent samples. One scenario is analysed using the independent samples t-test; the other the Welch test. Commentary on the designs and limitations is given through a qu... Read More about An example motivated discourse of the independent samples t-test and the Welch test.

A reverse look at p-values
Other

An overview of p-values is given. The usual way of being introduced to p-values is by considering the rigorous development of statistical tests, then their use for decision making. This note takes a reverse view by firstly considering their use in... Read More about A reverse look at p-values.

Expressing facial structure and appearance information in frequency domain for face recognition
Report

Beneath the uncertain primitive visual features of face images are the primitive intrinsic structural patterns (PISP) essential for characterizing a sample face discriminative attributes. It is on this basis that this paper presents a simple yet effe... Read More about Expressing facial structure and appearance information in frequency domain for face recognition.

Cross-cultural communication and negotiation – a key to successful expatriate managers’ assignments: A comparative study on Australians in China and French in Brazil
Book Chapter

This study builds on cross-cultural communication focusing on expatriates in binational settings. There has been an increase in the number of oversea assignments that have to be taken by expatriates, and this presents new challenges in communication...

Embedding human expert cognition and real-time trajectory planning in autonomous UAS
Thesis

This thesis presents a new approach to compute and optimize feasible three dimensional (3D) flight trajectories using aspects of Human Decision Making (HDM) strategies, for fixed wing Unmanned Aircraft (UA) operating in low altitude environments in t...

Independent force and position control for cooperating manipulators handling an unknown object interacting with an unknown environment
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we consider two manipulators grasping a rigid object in contact with a deformable working surface, whose real physical parameters are unknown. Dynamics of the closed chain mechanism is expressed based on the objects center of mass, and...

An adaptive hybrid force/motion control design for robot manipulators interacting in constrained motion with unknown non-rigid environments
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the present paper, the objective of hybrid control is specified and an adaptive hybrid force/motion control approach is proposed. Based on the concept of hybrid control, the task space is decomposed into position and force controlled subspaces. An...

Multi degree-of-freedom input-to- state stable approach for stable haptic interaction
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Passivity has been the most often used constraint for the controller design of haptic interfaces. However, the designed controller based on passivity constraint has been suffering from its conservatism, especially when the user wants to increase the...
