Monitoring Murder Crime in Namibia Using Bayesian Space-Time Models by Isak Neema, Dankmar Böhning

“…The model consists of carefully chosen prior and hyper-prior distributions for parameters and hyper-parameters, with inference conducted using Gibbs sampling algorithm and sensitivity test for model validation. The posterior mean estimate of the parameters from the model using DIC as model selection criteria show that most of the variation in the relative risk of murder is due to regional clustering, while the effect of population density and time was insignificant. …”

A Fusion Approach of RSSI and LQI for Indoor Localization System Using Adaptive Smoothers by Sharly Joana Halder, Wooju Kim

“…To predict the position of an unknown node, RSSI measurement is an easy and reliable method for distance estimation. In indoor environments, the accuracy of the RSSI-based localization method is affected by strong variation, specially often containing substantial amounts of metal and other such reflective materials that affect the propagation of radio-frequency signals in nontrivial ways, causing multipath effects, dead spots, noise, and interference. …”
