Evaluating the predictive abilities of mixed logit models with unobserved inter- and intra-individual heterogeneity

Mixed logit models with unobserved inter-and intra-individual heterogeneity hierarchically extend standard mixed logit models by allowing tastes to vary randomly both across individuals and across choice situations encountered by the same individual. Recen ...

Autonomous Exploration for Radioactive Hotspots Localization Taking Account of Sensor Limitations

Francesco Mondada, Hadi Ardiny, Stefan John Witwicki

Effective radioactive hotspot localization and detection is limited by sensor characteristics (i.e., the long acquisition time and poor angular resolution AR of a gamma camera) that significantly degrade the performance of autonomous exploration in terms o ...
