Cellular diagnostic systems using hidden Markov models
… is that for many complicated problems such as hand-off failure, clues about the cause of the failure are hidden deep within the statistics of underlying dynamic physical phenomena like fading, shadowing, and interference. In this research we propose that Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) be used as a …

Coaches’ self-perceptions on how they influence collective behaviour in team sports
… coaches reported that they applied a “hand-off approach when coaching to allow the athletes to develop autonomy and discover the answers to the practice tasks, instead of simply prescribing actions. They also reported to avoid the use of instruction unless completely necessary and …
