报告人简介:Sensors used to capture time-history data will never provide perfect digital reconstructions of the processes they originally recorded. At best, a sensor will have an ideal working tolerance and defined accuracy bounds, and at worst will fail, leaving gaps in the data. When estimating power spectra from these data, it is important to consider the effect that such uncertainties could have on the output model. In this talk, some common missing data reconstruction techniques and their shortfalls will be presented in the context of power spectrum estimation, as well as methods to quantify power spectrum uncertainties under incomplete data.

Bio:
Liam Comerford graduated with a Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Liverpool in 2009. He received his PhD in 2015 from the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty at the University of Liverpool. He then began his academic career as a Research Associate in Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, within the Institute Risk and Reliability. He currently maintains academic links through two European funded research projects in the areas of Stochastic Process Simulation and Compressive Sensing.
