Nonparametric Bayesian behavior modeling
… dynamic agents into common motion patterns, or "behaviors," assumptions of the number of expected behaviors must be made. This assumption can cause clustering processes to under-fit or over-fit the training data. In a poorly understood domain, knowing the number of expected behaviors a priori is …

Integrating driving behavior modeling
A framework for integrated driving behavior modeling, based on the concepts of short-term goal and short-term plan is proposed. Drivers are assumed to conceive and perform short-term plans in order to accomplish short-term goals. This behavioral framework captures drivers' planning capabilities and …

Behavior modeling of RF systems with VHDL
Behavioral modeling of RF systems with VHDL is considered and a modeling methodology is developed for modeling the I/O response of these systems. A Pulsed Doppler radar system is chosen as a representative system, and a VHDL model for this system is presented. The modeling approach and the working …

Human Behavior Modeling and Calibration in Epidemic Simulations
Human behavior plays an important role in infectious disease epidemics. The choice of preventive actions taken by individuals can completely change the epidemic outcome. Computational epidemiologists usually employ large-scale agent-based simulations of human populations to study disease outbreaks …

Creating a shipboard power simulation tool using electrical load behavior modeling
… scenarios, as opposed to intense, high fidelity modeling of a single operating scenario, may best serve these applications. This thesis presents a behavioral simulator that can quickly emulate the operation of a relatively large collection of electrical loads, providing "what-if" evaluations for …

Water Quality Study and Plume Behavior Modeling for Lake Pontchartrain at the Mouth of the Tchefuncte River
Over the last several decades, the Lake Pontchartrain Basin has been impacted by the presence of high levels of Fecal Coliform bacteria following periods of rainfall. This is a potential problem for recreational uses of the area. In 2003 a field sampling study was initiated in the north shore area …
