- | Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical technique that is becoming increasingly popular in the educational and behavioral sciences. SEM allows researchers to test the validity of hypothesized models involving complex relationships among multiple variables. Collected data is used to estimate the parameters of the equations and assessing the fit of the model. | + | |

- | 4302 -- Compilers and Interpreters. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Description**: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The components are various Unix executables and LISP programs that need to interact in complex ways. The components may be residing in different servers in different universities. Currently integration is performed manually, at the expense of usability. Thus, we aim at constructing a module that: (a) integrates involved components to deliver output in one call, (b) exports a unique web interface (preferably following WSDL/SOAP) to be easily accessed by custom front-end tools by anyone, anywhere, (c ) offers a simple front-end for human users. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Learning objectives: | + | |
- | * Understand the technologies and process involved in turning native code into a web-service (" | + | |
- | * Study a state-of-the-art AI planner and understand its workings. | + | |
- | * Exercise scripting skills. | + | |

- | navigation. Several (seemingly) different approaches for predicting | + | |
- | distance errors | + | |
- | procedures, | + | |
- | This project will validate an approach for predicting angular | + | |
- | error in registration; | + | |
- | simulated and actual registration data for testing purposes. | + | |

- | ====== Calibration of a Tracked Pointer ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Supervisor**: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Description**: | + | |
- | navigation systems. A typical pointer has a tracked target on one | + | |
- | end and a sharp or ball tip on the other end. Finding the location | + | |
- | of the tip relative to the target is a calibration problem. One | + | |
- | solution to the calibration problem involves pivoting the pointer | + | |
- | about the tip while tracking the target; if the tip is kept | + | |
- | stationary, then the target moves on the surface of a sphere. | + | |
- | Fitting the tracking data to the surface of a sphere yields the | + | |
- | location of the tip as the sphere center. Unfortunately, | + | |
- | calibrated tip position obtained using such a spherical calibration | + | |
- | has high variance. This project will investigate how much variance | + | |
- | there is in the calibrated tip position, and methods for reducing | + | |
- | the variance of the calibrated tip position. | + | |
