The managers of hydrological systems take real-time level and discharge measurements on several reservoirs and river reaches. The measurements are frequently tainted with errors that are reflected by uncertainties in decision making and by non-optimal resource management. This article aims at developing a methodology for the validation of levels in real-time. The proposed approach is based on material and analytical redundancy, and uses two models. The first one is spatial and enables linking of the measurements carried out at different stations with the help of a multiple regression equation. The second one is temporal, which enables the determination of variation trend at the different stations with the help of an auto-regressive model. These two models are incorporated into a diagnosis system for breakdowns based on a logic vote principle. Among the values that are measured and estimated by the linear regression model, the one which is the most consistent with the variation trend indicated by the auto-regressive model is selected. The Kalman filter is used to filter the measurements and identify the parameters of the models used in real-time. The proposed methodology turned out to be conclusive when applied to both measured data and synthetic hydrographs.Key words: validation, real-time, material redundancy, analytical redundancy, regressive, auto-regressive, Kalman filter.

In this paper an algorithm is proposed for estimation of HRV with better accuracy and results. We are making use of Auto Regressive Model (AR Model) for the estimation. Since ECG wave is also contaminated with a lot of noise such as Power Line Interference (PLI), EMG and just some common artifacts like breathing disturbance’s, so to filter out all this noise from the wave we are using Cumulant based AR model for filtering the wave. Using IoT we will later use real time ECG waves to estimate HRV.

We estimate the weekly excess all-cause mortality in Norway and Sweden, the years of life lost (YLL) attributed to COVID-19 in Sweden, and the significance of mortality displacement. We computed the expected mortality by taking into account the declining trend and the seasonality in mortality in the two countries over the past 20 years. From the excess mortality in Sweden in 2019/20, we estimated the YLL attributed to COVID-19 using the life expectancy in different age groups. We adjusted this estimate for possible displacement using an auto-regressive model for the year-to-year variations in excess mortality. We found that excess all-cause mortality over the epidemic year, July 2019 to July 2020, was 517 (95%CI = (12, 1074)) in Norway and 4329 [3331, 5325] in Sweden. There were 255 COVID-19 related deaths reported in Norway, and 5741 in Sweden, that year. During the epidemic period of 11 March–11 November, there were 6247 reported COVID-19 deaths and 5517 (4701, 6330) excess deaths in Sweden. We estimated that the number of YLL attributed to COVID-19 in Sweden was 45,850 [13,915, 80,276] without adjusting for mortality displacement and 43,073 (12,160, 85,451) after adjusting for the displacement accounted for by the auto-regressive model. In conclusion, we find good agreement between officially recorded COVID-19 related deaths and all-cause excess deaths in both countries during the first epidemic wave and no significant mortality displacement that can explain those deaths.

Smiling has been conceptualized as a signal of cooperative intent, yet smiles are easy to fake. We suggest that contextually appropriate, dynamically engaged smiling imposes an attentional cost, thereby making engaged smiling a plausible “honest signal” of cooperative intent. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed data from 123 pairs of same-sex strangers having “getting-to-know-you” conversations who subsequently played a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma together. We calculated the strength of engagement in smiling using a cross-lagged auto-regressive model for dyadic data. We found that when an individual’s partner (the signaler) tended to smile in a more responsive way, that individual (the receiver) was more likely to cooperate. Conversely, when a signaler tended to smile in a less responsive way, the receiver was less likely to cooperate. These effects were present over-and-above the effects of average levels of smiling and self-reported liking, which also predicted likelihood of cooperation. However, dynamically engaged smiling did not predict cooperation on the part of the signaler, suggesting that receivers weight the importance of engagement more highly than they should, or even that engaged smiling might be a manipulative display. These results illustrate how conversational dynamics can influence evolutionary signaling.
