The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.4K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

3.9K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Schemas

12.0K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Response Surface Methodology

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques used to develop, improve, and optimize processes. It is particularly valuable when many input variables or factors potentially influence a response variable.
The process of RSM involves several key steps:

Area of Science:

  • Radar Systems Engineering
  • Autonomous Systems
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Cognitive radar systems aim for autonomous adaptation to optimize performance.
  • Minimizing estimation error is crucial for accurate target state prediction (e.g., velocity, distance).
  • Bayesian surprise offers a potential metric for guiding adaptive measurement strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Bayesian surprise as a driving methodology for cognitive radar.
  • To determine if cognitive radar can autonomously modify its internal model (waveform parameters) to enhance measurements.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Bayesian surprise in minimizing estimation error over time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Kalman filtering for state estimation under linear Gaussian state-space models.
  • Implemented a decision process where the radar selects waveforms maximizing expected Bayesian surprise.
  • Tested the system in vehicle-following scenarios within highway and urban driving environments.

Main Results:

  • The proposed cognitive radar demonstrated improved estimation performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
  • Bayesian surprise-guided waveform selection led to reduced mean square relative error.
  • The method showed robustness in single-target tracking across diverse driving conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Bayesian surprise is an effective methodology for adaptive waveform selection in cognitive radar.
  • Autonomous cognitive radar systems can leverage Bayesian surprise for enhanced target state estimation.
  • The proposed approach offers a robust and superior alternative for real-time tracking applications.
