Research paper thumbnail of Eigen Value Analysis in Lower Bounding Uncertainty of Kalman Filter Estimates

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2020

We propose a measurement noise manipulation scheme to ensure lower-bound on the estimation accuracy of states. Our proposed method ensures lower-bound on the steady state estimation error of Kalman filter, using mathematical tools from eigen value analysis.

Research paper thumbnail of Optimal Transport Based Filtering with Nonlinear State Equality Constraints

This framework is constructed specifically for a linear approximation of Bayesian filtering that uses the theory of Optimal Transport. As a part of this framework, we present three traditionally-used nonlinear equality constraint-preserving algorithms coupled with the Optimal Transport based filter: the equality-constrained Optimal Transport filter, the projected Optimal Transport filter, and the measurement-augmented Optimal Transport filter. In cases where the nonlinear equalityconstraints represent an arbitrary convex manifold, we show that the re-sampling step of Optimal Transport filter, can generate initial samples for filtering, from any probability distribution function defined on this manifold. We show numerical results using our proposed framework.

Research paper thumbnail of New Model of Performance Management and Measurement in Higher Education Sector

International Journal of Scientific Research, 2012

Performance management should be an ongoing, interactive process designed to enhance employee capability and facilitate productivity. It is true that universities are able to respond to the challenges of the changing higher education environment and the effective management of performance at organizational, institutional and individual level is therefore critical to success. The impact of performance reward systems, such as Performance Related Pay, the role of resources in influencing educational outcomes, the reliability of existing meth- ods of assessing educational performance.
