Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems: Technological Challenges and Solutions on the Path to Regulatory Acceptance

Aircraft collision avoidance systems are critical to modern aviation. These systems are designed to predict potential collisions between aircraft and recommend appropriate avoidance actions. Creating effective collision avoidance systems requires solutions to a variety of technic...

Confidence Revisited: The Distribution of Information

Classical statistics assesses the confidence of a prediction by measuring error variance, estimation variance, or the sum of both. More complex machine learning models assess confidence using empirical methods such as resampling or conformal prediction. Model-based assessments of...
