Use of Simulated Data for the Estimation of Prior Models in Kalman Filter-Based ECGI

Kalman filtering has been successfully applied to electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) to improve the estimation accuracy, especially when a 'good' training set of epicardial potentials is available to estimate the prior statistics. Most methods in the literature use previously measured experimental data to obtain these training sets, which would not be feasible in a clinical application. In this study we explored the effectiveness of using simulated epicardial potentials and the corresponding BSPs for obtaining the prior models based on two approaches: maximum likelihood (MLIF) and maximum a posteriori (MAPIF) estimation. Our results showed that even using a simple simulation method, and large margin in the initial pacing location range (80mm here), simulated data can be used for defining the prior models in the Kalman filter-based-ECGI.

Use of a priori information in estimating tissue resistivities-application to measured data
Baysal, U; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 1999-07-01)
A statistically constrained minimum mean squares error estimator (MiMSEE) has been shown to be useful in estimating internal resistivity distribution by the use of simulated data. In this study, the performance of the MiMSEE algorithm is tested by using measured data from resistor phantoms. The MiMSEE uses a priori information on body geometry, electrode position, statistical properties of tissue resistivities, instrumentation noise and linearization error to calculate the optimum inverse matrix which maps ...
Evaluation of the site amplification factors estimated by equivalent linear site response analysis using time series and random vibration theory based approaches
Stanko, Davor; Gülerce, Zeynep; Markusic, Snjeana; Salic, Radmila (2019-02-01)
The objective of this study is to estimate and compare the site amplification factors (AFs) using two different one dimensional (1-D) equivalent-linear (EQL) site response analysis approaches: the time series (TS) approach and the random vibration theory (RVT) based method. For this purpose, random soil profiles combined with different soil types, EQL soil properties, and unit weights are tested at several input ground motion levels. Analysis results showed that the AFs estimated by the TS-approach are syst...
Application of genetic algorithms to calibration and verification of QUAL2E
Göktaş, Recep Kaya; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004)
The objective of this study is to develop a calibration and verification tool for the QUAL2E Model by using Genetic Algorithms. In the developed optimization model, an objective function that is formulated on the basis of the sum-of-least squares approach aiming at minimizing the difference between the observed and simulated quantities was used. In order to perform simultaneous calibration and verification, verification of the calibrated results was treated as a constraint and inserted into the objective fu...
Use of the ambiguity function technique for target detection in phase coded continuous wave radars
Çankaya, Erkan; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
The goal of this thesis study is to investigate the Ambiguity Function Technique for target detection in phase-coded continuous wave radar. Also, phase shift keying techniques are examined in detail. Continuous Wave (CW) Radars, which are also known as Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars, emit continuous signals in time which are modulated by either frequency modulation or phase modulation techniques. Modulation of the transmitted radar signal is needed to estimate both the range and the radial veloci...
Robust estimation in multivariate heteroscedastic regression models with autoregressive covariance structures using EM algorithm
GÜNEY, YEŞİM; ARSLAN, OLÇAY; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2022-09-01)
© 2022 Elsevier Inc.In the analysis of repeated or clustered measurements, it is crucial to determine the dynamics that affect the mean, variance, and correlations of the data, which will be possible using appropriate models. One of these models is the joint mean–covariance model, which is a multivariate heteroscedastic regression model with autoregressive covariance structures. In these models, parameter estimation is usually carried on under normality assumption, but the resulting estimators will be very ...
