Efficient anomaly detection on sampled data streams with contaminated phase I data
2020
International audience; Control chart algorithms aim to monitor a process over time. This process consists of two phases. Phase I, also called the learning phase, estimates the normal process parameters, then in Phase II, anomalies are detected. However, the learning phase itself can contain contaminated data such as outliers. If left undetected, they can jeopardize the accuracy of the whole chart by affecting the computed parameters, which leads to faulty classifications and defective data analysis results. This problem becomes more severe when the analysis is done on a sample of the data rather than the whole data. To avoid such a situation, Phase I quality must be guaranteed. The purpose…
Application of Statistical Process Control to Continuous Processes
2002
Control charts represent an efficient and easy tool to assure the state of statistical quality control in a manufacturing process. These tools are also implemented in continuous processes, where the critical parameters are often monitored by on line sensors measuring data with short time intervals. In this paper a continuous process is monitored by using control charts and its dynamic is modeled through linear time series that allow the effects of the autocorrelation to be eliminated. In this way, the control charts can operate on residuals that result identically and independently distributed. A statistical analysis on EWMA, CUSUM and control charts for individual measurements has been car…
Sectors on sectors (SonS): A new hierarchical clustering visualization tool
2011
Clustering techniques have been widely applied to extract information from high-dimensional data structures in the last few years. Graphs are especially relevant for clustering, but many graphs associated with hierarchical clustering do not give any information about the values of the centroids' attributes and the relationships among them. In this paper, we propose a new visualization approach for hierarchical cluster analysis in which the above-mentioned information is available. The method is based on pie charts. The pie charts are divided into several pie segments or sectors corresponding to each cluster. The radius of each pie segment is proportional to the number of patterns included i…
A statistical monitoring approach for automotive on-board diagnostic systems
2007
The current generation of vehicle models are increasingly being equipped with on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems aimed at assessing the ‘state of health’ of important anti-pollution subsystems and components. In order to promptly diagnose and fix quality and reliability problems that may potentially affect such complex diagnostic systems, even during advanced development prior to mass production, some vehicle prototypes undergo a testing phase under realistic conditions of use (a mileage accumulation campaign). The aim of this work is to set up a statistical tool for improving the reliability of the OBD system by monitoring its operation during the mileage accumulation campaign of a new vehi…
La Carta sociale europea come parametro interposto nella recente giurisprudenza costituzionale: novità e questioni aperte
2019
In two judgments delivered in 2018 (No. 120 and No. 194), the Constitutional Court for the first time referred to provisions of the European Social Charter as an interposed norm in the constitutional review of primary laws. The two judgments, however, leave two questions open. First, in judgment No. 120, the Court recognizes taht the European Social Charter may complement Article 117, paragraph 1, of the Constitution, as it constitutes a natural integration of the European Conventionof Human Rights on the social level, which in fact distinguishes it from "ordinary" international agreements. In its subsequent judgment No. 194, on the other hand, the Court speaks of treaties with constitution…
Yo, intelectual: Pío Baroja frente a las masas y la democracia
2014
This paper aims to chart how the Basque writer Pío Baroja’s attitude as an intellectual evolved over the final years of the nineteenth and the early decades of the twentieth century, at a time when a new ‘social subject’ was emerging and becoming consolidated in Spain. It therefore analyses Baroja’s thought in relation to two of the topics of greatest concern to Spanish and European intellectuals of the day: the relationship of the individual to the mass and intellectuals’ attitude to democracy.
A Multimedia Museum Application Based Upon a Landscape Embedded Digital 3D Model of an Ancient Settlement
2012
This paper describes the development of a digital reconstruction of the celtic hillfort “Altburg” (Germany), which was generated in the context of a museums exhibition in the Hunsruck-Museum Simmern (Germany). This model refers to the City GML standard and considers the principles of the London Charter for establishing internationally recognized principles for the use of three-dimensional visualization by researchers, educators and cultural heritage organizations.
New Author Guidelines for Displaying Data and Reporting Data Analysis and Statistical Methods in Experimental Biology
2019
The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics has revised the Instructions to Authors for Drug Metabolism and Disposition, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, and Molecular Pharmacology These revisions relate to data analysis (including statistical analysis) and reporting but do not tell investigators how to design and perform their experiments. Their overall focus is on greater granularity in the description of what has been done and found. Key recommendations include the need to differentiate between preplanned, hypothesis-testing, and exploratory experiments or studies; explanations of whether key elements of study design, such as sample size and …
Protection of Personal Data and Human Rights between the ECHR and the EU Legal Order
2020
The present paper deals with the relationship between privacy and data protection, having regard to the European Union and the European Convention of Human Rights. Such an analysis moves from the normative context (art. 8 ECHR and art. 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union). Moreover, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human RIghts is taken into account, in order to enlighten the dfferent scopes of privacy and data protection.
Reference point approach for multiple decision makers
2005
We consider multiple criteria decision-making problems where a group of decision-makers wants to find the most preferred solution from a discrete set of alternatives. We develop a method that uses achievement functions for charting subsets of reference points that would support a certain alternative to be the most preferred one. The resulting descriptive information is provided to the decision-makers in the form of reference acceptability indices and central reference points for each decision alternative. Then, the decision-makers can compare this information with their own preferences. We demonstrate the use of the method using a strategic multiple criteria decision model for an electricit…
