The use of parameter estimation techniques in practical applications requires accurate analysis of the associated measurement and computation problems. With reference to an already proposed model ...identification procedure, the authors deal with the experimental tests carried out in order to highlight problems and to find the most appropriate solutions. In particular, a synchronization method is described, and some suggestions concerning the optimal working conditions of all the necessary devices are reported.< >
By means of an integration of decision theory and probabilistic models, we explore and develop methods for improving data privacy. Our work encompasses disclosure control tools in statistical ...databases and privacy requirements prioritization; in particular we propose a Bayesian approach for the on-line auditing in Statistical Databases and Pairwise Comparison Matrices for privacy requirements prioritization. The first approach is illustrated by means of examples in the context of statistical analysis on the census and medical data, where no salary (resp. no medical information), that could be related to a specific employee (resp. patient), must be released; the second approach is illustrated by means of examples, such as an e-voting system and an e-banking service that have to satisfy privacy requirements in addition to functional and security ones. Several fields in the social sciences, economics and engineering will benefit from the advances in this research area: e-voting, e-government, e-commerce, e-banking, e-health, cloud computing and risk management are a few examples of applications for the findings of this research.
This paper presents an improved error model for data acquisition systems that can be changed by the adjustment of a few parameters. An automatic procedure is proposed to estimate model parameters and ...analyze parametric sensitivity. By analyzing both the harmonic level and frequency decay, the model allows accurate reproduction of the first five harmonics. The paper initially describes preliminary simulations and goes on to describe a test that applies real data to an actual data acquisition system.< >
