Modelling and estimating spatio-temporal dynamic field are common challenges in much applied research. Most existing spatio-temporal interpolation methods require massive prior calculations and consistent observational data, resulting in low interpolation efficiency. This paper presents a flexible state-space model for iteratively fitting time-series from random missing points in data sets, namely Flexible Universal Kriging state-space model(FUKSS). In this work, a recursive method similar to Kalman filter is used to estimate the time-series, avoiding the problem of increasing data caused by Kriging space-time extension. Based on the statistical characteristics of Kriging, this method introduces a spatial selection matrix to make the different observation data and state vectors identical at different times, which solves the problem of missing data and reduces the calculation complexity. In addition, a dynamic linear autoregressive model is introduced to solve the problem that the universal Kriging state-space model cannot predict. We have demonstrated the superiority of our method by comparing it with different methods through experiments, and verified the effectiveness of this method through practical cases.

Recently, wearable devices have become a prominent health care application domain by incorporating a growing number of sensors and adopting smart machine learning technologies. One closely related topic is the strategy of combining the wearable device technology with skill assessment, which can be used in wearable device apps for coaching and/or personal training. Particularly pertinent to skill assessment based on high-dimensional time series data from wearable sensors is classifying whether a player is an expert or a beginner, which skills the player is exercising, and extracting some low-dimensional representations useful for coaching. In this paper, we present a deep learning-based coaching assistant method, which can provide useful information in supporting table tennis practice. Our method uses a combination of LSTM (Long short-term memory) with a deep state space model and probabilistic inference. More precisely, we use the expressive power of LSTM when handling high-dimensional time series data, and state space model and probabilistic inference to extract low-dimensional latent representations useful for coaching. Experimental results show that our method can yield promising results for characterizing high-dimensional time series patterns and for providing useful information when working with wearable IMU (Inertial measurement unit) sensors for table tennis coaching.

Abstract An automatic estimation method is developed to detect stepwise changes in the amplitude parameter of the normalized raindrop size distribution (DSD) N*0. To estimate N*0, it is also assumed that the variation of three DSD parameters follows the two-scale gamma DSD model; this is defined as a DSD model in which one DSD parameter is fixed, the second is allowed to vary rapidly, and the third is constant over a certain space or time domain and sometimes exhibits stepwise transitions. For this study, it is assumed that N*0 is the third DSD parameter. To estimate this stepwise-varying parameter automatically, a non-Gaussian state-space model is used for the time series of log10N*0. The smoothed time series of log10N*0 fit well to the stepwise transition of log10N*0 when it was assumed that the state transition probability follows a Cauchy distribution. By analyzing the long-term disdrometer data using this state-space model, statistical properties for log10N*0 are obtained at several Asian locations. It is confirmed that the N*0 thus estimated is useful to improve the rain-rate estimation from the measurement of radar reflectivity factor.
