. If it fails, one will go back to the first step and build a new model [8].The diagnosis section consists of the estimation of Q-matrices and using these Q-matrices toprovide insight into the dependency between the variables of BoT and the TC. In this paper, weused the GDINA function from the CDM package [9], [10] to retrieve the delta matrices that areessential to the estimation of the Q-matrices. The initial Q-matrix given to the GDINA functionis always 1J x K. Both the Lasso and the Truncated L1 penalty (TLP) terms were used as tuningparameters to retrieve the delta matrices which were then converted to Q-matrices following asimilar expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm in [11].

Themodel allows the simulation of the reactor via parameters such as cross-sectional area ofreactor, molar flow rates of reaction components, built-in heating, q inside the reactor,inlet temperature of reactants and reactor length. Due to unforeseen circumstances, thestudents completed building the reactor at the end of the semester and had no time to runthe experiment.

A comparison of flutterspeed obtained by using different number of modes (n=1,2…) of deformation will givesome indication of the degree of accuracy achieved. In this paper, two-degree of freedom(bending, pitch) are selected because they provides a system, which is not only easilyevaluated in physical terms but also from the computational point of view.

This batch processing of real world radio signals allows for a tremendous amount of classroom flexibility in the discussion of software defined radio topics.1 IntroductionThere is a great deal of interest in the DSP algorithms necessary to demodulate communicationssignals.
