Online Action Selection Methods for Multi-Agent Navigation
… any static element in the environment. Existing methods either compute the motion of each agent centrally or allow each agent to compute its own motion. Using a central controller limits the number of agents that can be controlled in real time, while using a local method produces motions that are …

An Application of Variable Selection Methods to Identify Influential Factors of ADHD Diagnosis in Children
In 2011, there was the ADHD-200 Global Competition in which several teams around the world competed to produce a model that best categorized children as having ADHD or not having ADHD based on phenotypic and neu- roimaging data for each child. These data were gathered at eight locations in the …

Item selection methods in multidimensional computerized adaptive testing adopting polytomously-scored items under multidimensional generalized partial credit model
Four item selection methods are compared and investigated under three test formats in the context of Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing (MCAT) delivering polytomous items partially or completely in tests. Item selection methods examined include Fisher information based D-optimality …
