Analyzing the Signal Strength of 2,946 Clients Operating in 446 WiFi Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-02)In this thesis we analyze data that was collected over a 24 hour period from 446 access points that provide connections for 2,946 clients. The data was obtained from deployments of modern commercial Google Wifi access ... -
Dynamic Weight Estimation of Non-Singulated Objects
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-21)Weight estimation is a common practice throughout many industries, though it typically requires that the objects to be weighed remain motionless. More often than not, it is beneficial to allow objects to move freely through ... -
An estimation theoretic approach to quantum realizability problems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-27)This thesis seeks to develop a general method for solving so-called quantum realizability problems, which are questions of the following form: under which conditions does there exist a quantum state exhibiting a given ... -
Implementation of Kalman Filtering for Differential-Algebraic Equations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)This thesis describes two Kalman filters which are usable on semi-explicit index-1 differential-algebraic equations, prior to which a discussion of linear and nonlinear Kalman filters is presented. Performance between ... -
Imputation, Estimation and Missing Data in Finance
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Suppose <em>X</em> is a diffusion process, possibly multivariate, and suppose that there are various segments of the components of <em>X</em> that are missing. This happens, for example, if <em>X</em> is the price of ... -
Optimal Sensor Location for the Estimation of a Linear Dispersive Wave Equation
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-07)The problem of optimal sensor location for the estimation of a linear dispersive wave equation is considered in this work. A steady-state Kalman filter was used as an optimal state observer with localized velocity information ... -
Quadrotor Position Estimation using Low Quality Images
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-28)The use of unmanned systems is becoming widespread in commercial and military sectors. The ability of these systems to take on dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks which were formerly done by humans is encouraging their rapid ... -
Resource Constrained Linear Estimation in Sensor Scheduling and Informative Path Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-30)This thesis studies problems in resource constrained linear estimation with a focus on sensor scheduling and informative path planning. Sensor scheduling concerns itself with the selection of the best subsets of sensors ... -
Road Surface Estimation Using Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-19)Vehicle motion control systems are present on commercial vehicles to improve safety and driving comfort. Many of these control systems could be further improved given accurate online information about the road condition ... -
Statistical Inference and Pricing for Regime Switching Models in Finance and Insurance
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-02)This thesis studies the estimation, goodness-of-fit testing, pricing and sampling problems for regime switching models, which are popularly used in financial markets. Specifically, we consider such models whose distributions ...
