This paper proposed a novel nonparametric modelbased model predictive control approach for the regulation ofheart rate during treadmill exercise. As the model structureof human cardiovascular system is often hard to determine,nonparametric modelling is a more realistic manner to describecomplex...

Noninvasive portable sensors are becoming popular in biomedical engineering practice due to its ease of use. This paper investigates the estimation of human oxygen uptake (VO2) of treadmill exercises by using multiple portable sensors (wireless heart rate sensor and triaxial accelerometers). For...

This paper addresses the topic of anticipating likely development paths for a particular "New and Emerging Science & Technology" (NES&T). Characteristics of NES&T -- technological uncertainty and contextual dynamics -- pose challenges for technology management and forecasting practices....

In much of applied statistics variables of interest are measured with error. In particular, regression with covariates that are subject to measurement error requires adjustment to avoid biased estimates and invalid inference. We consider two aspects of this problem. Detection Limits (DL) arise...
