Urban traffic can be curbed in various ways, for instance, by introducing paid unguarded parking zones (PUPZ). The operational functionality of this system depends on whether or not the various system features used to document parking cases function properly, including those which enable positioning of vehicles parked in the PUPZ, recognition of plate numbers, event time recording, and the correct anonymisation of persons and other vehicles. The most fundamental problem of this system is its reliability, understood as the conformity of control results with the actual state of matters. This characteristic can be studied empirically, and this article addresses the methodology proposed for such an examination, discussed against a case study. The authors have analysed the statistical dependence of the e-control system’s measurement errors based on operational data. The results of this analysis confirm the rationale behind the deployment of the e-control system under the implementation of the smart city concept in Warsaw.

Apnea Syndrome

The most common index for diagnosing Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), defined as the average count of apnea/hypopnea events per sleeping hour. Despite its broad use in automated systems for SAS severity estimation, researchers now focus on individual event time detection rather than the insufficient classification of the patient in SAS severity groups. Towards this direction, in this work, we aim at the detection of the exact time location of apnea/hypopnea events. We particularly examine the hypothesis of employing a standard Voice Activity Detection (VAD) algorithm to extract breathing segments during sleep and identify the respiratory events from severely altered breathing amplitude within the event. The algorithm, which is tested only in severe and moderate patients, is applied to recordings from a tracheal and an ambient microphone. It proves good sensitivity for apneas, reaching 81% and 70.4% for the two microphones, respectively, and moderate sensitivity to hypopneas—approx. 50% were identified. The algorithm also presents an adequate estimator of the Mean Apnea Duration index—defined as the average duration of the detected events—for patients with severe or moderate apnea, with mean error 1.7 s and 3.2 s for the two microphones, respectively.

AbstractA key challenge in mining social media data streams is to identify events which are actively discussed by a group of people in a specific local or global area. Such events are useful for early warning for accident, protest, election or breaking news. However, neither the list of events nor the resolution of both event time and space is fixed or known beforehand. In this work, we propose an online spatio-temporal event detection system using social media that is able to detect events at different time and space resolutions. First, to address the challenge related to the unknown spatial resolution of events, a quad-tree method is exploited in order to split the geographical space into multiscale regions based on the density of social media data. Then, a statistical unsupervised approach is performed that involves Poisson distribution and a smoothing method for highlighting regions with unexpected density of social posts. Further, event duration is precisely estimated by merging events happening in the same region at consecutive time intervals. A post processing stage is introduced to filter out events that are spam, fake or wrong. Finally, we incorporate simple semantics by using social media entities to assess the integrity, and accuracy of detected events. The proposed method is evaluated using different social media datasets: Twitter and Flickr for different cities: Melbourne, London, Paris and New York. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare our results with two baseline algorithms based on fixed split of geographical space and clustering method. For performance evaluation, we manually compute recall and precision. We also propose a new quality measure named strength index, which automatically measures how accurate the reported event is.

Accelerated Failure

AbstractIn this article, we model alternately occurring recurrent events and study the effects of covariates on each of the survival times. This is done through the accelerated failure time models, where we use lagged event times to capture the dependence over both the cycles and the two events. However, since the errors of the two regression models are likely to be correlated, we assume a bivariate error distribution. Since most event time distributions do not readily extend to bivariate forms, we take recourse to copula functions to build up the bivariate distributions from the marginals. The model parameters are then estimated using the maximum likelihood method and the properties of the estimators studied. A data on respiratory disease is used to illustrate the technique. A simulation study is also conducted to check for consistency.
