GPS mobility data is a valuable source of behavioral measurement which is subject to systematic biases including the over- or under-representation of demographic groups, and variations in the quality of location sampling across time. In…
Recent work on simultaneous trajectory estimation and mapping (STEAM) for mobile robots has found success by representing the trajectory as a Gaussian process. Gaussian processes can represent a continuous-time trajectory, elegantly handle…
Analysis of lifetime data from epidemiological studies or destructive testing often involves current status censoring, wherein individuals are examined only once and their event status is recorded only at that specific time point. In…
