Evaluation of A Haptic Interface

Three criteria for effective interface: (J.K. Salisbury)
 a. free space must feel free
 b. solid object must feel sniff
 c. virtual constraint must not be easily saturated

These descriptions above can be illustrated by five indicators which are mainly considered for designing a general haptic device:
  1. DOF (degree of freedom)
  2. workspace
     a comfortable  angular workspace was estimated to be of the order of 90 degrees of pitch, and yaw combined with a roll of 120 degrees.
  3. resolution
     average position just-noticable-difference (JND) for wrist and elbow are both 2 degrees.
  4. maximum output force
  5. back-drivability
      transparency: how realistic the feeling of touch is when user is touching the virtual object via haptic device. 
      => improving the transparency of haptic interaction is a goal. 
      a haptic device has to transmit force sensation as realistic as possible to user through well-controlled actuators. when detecting in free space, there will be a strength power which can be felt in contacting with stiff surface, ex. mass, inertia, and friction of the move part, which affect the back-drivability of haptic device and the inertia is the leading factor in this device.

股票評價(Stock Valuation) - 股利折現模型

Image
這邊討論的是股價(普通股)的評價，包括股利折現模型、成長機會模型與本益比模型。 1. 股利折現模型( The Dividend Discount Model, DDM ) 股票的現金流可以分為兩個部分：股利的收入及股價的變動 先來定義 Pt：第t期的每股股價 Dt：第t期的每股股利 Rs：股利折現率(或稱為股東的必要報酬率) 當下的股票現值P0 =  D1/(1+Rs)  + P1/(1+Rs) ... (1) 一年後的股票現值 P1 = D2/(1+Rs) + P2/(1+Rs) ... (2) 將(1)代入(2)可得  P0 = D1/(1+Rs) + D2/[(1+Rs) ^2] + P2/[(1+Rs)^2] 可推得 P0 = D1/(1+Rs) + D2/[(1+Rs) ^2] + D3/[(1+Rs)^3] + ... =   SIGMA(t=1, infinite)  D1/[(1+Rs)^t] 常見的股利折現模型有三種， a. 零成長型(Zero Growth) , 即D1=D2=D3=...    利用等比級數公式, a0=D1/(1+Rs), r= 1/(1+Rs)  =>  p0 = D1/Rs      [*這跟永續年金的結果相同] b. 固定成長(Constant Growth) , 即股利按固定比率ｇ成長, D2=D1*(1+g), ...    => P0 = D1/(Rs-g)    b.1這個模型又稱為戈登模型(Gordon Model)或股利成長模型(dividend growth model)         因為這個模型提供我們很好的直覺：         b.1.1 當公司宣布年底股利增加, D1上升, P0上升 b.1.2 當公司盈餘成長, g上升, P0上升         b.1.3 當資本或風險提升，Rs上升, P0下降    b.2固定成長型的資本利得率＝股利成...

openwrt feed的使用

最近又回去看Openwrt發現feed, 來記錄一下. feed 是一個挺有趣的東西, 在Openwrt 理面它是一堆 packages 的集合,  我想應該是因為不同的 packages 可能來自不同的地方, 透過 feed 提供介面管理這些 packages. (1) where is feeds     放在 scripts/feeds (2) feeds command     update:        撿查 feeds.conf  # or feeds.conf.default       將各自的feeds下載後放到 feeds/        建立 XXX.index      list:       透過 XXX.index, 列出 feeds/ 的feeds     install:       建立symbolic link. # from feeds/XXX  to packages/feeds/XXX (3)自己建立 feeds       1. svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/[BRANCH]  [OPENWRT]       2. svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/package  [OPENWRT]/packages       3. 撰寫自己的 feeds.conf       4. >script/feeds update -a       5. >script/feeds install       6. make menuconfig        參考Openwrt 連結 ...

R 語言：邏輯回歸 Logistic Regression using R language （二）

> library('MASS') > data(menarche) > str(menarche) 'data.frame': 25 obs. of 3 variables: $ Age : num 9.21 10.21 10.58 10.83 11.08 ... $ Total : num 376 200 93 120 90 88 105 111 100 93 ... $ Menarche: num 0 0 0 2 2 5 10 17 16 29 ... > summary(menarche) Age Total Menarche Min. : 9.21 Min. : 88.0 Min. : 0.00 1st Qu.:11.58 1st Qu.: 98.0 1st Qu.: 10.00 Median :13.08 Median : 105.0 Median : 51.00 Mean :13.10 Mean : 156.7 Mean : 92.32 3rd Qu.:14.58 3rd Qu.: 117.0 3rd Qu.: 92.00 Max. :17.58 Max. :1049.0 Max. :1049.00 上頭是 R 所提供的一個很好的 Logistic Regression with One numerical predictor 的例子。 簡單的說就是有一組三個自變數分別是 age, total 以及 menarche ，中文的大意是『我們收集了一共25組女性樣本，記錄每組的平均年紀，訪問次數以及受訪者是否發生初經』。 > plot(Menarch/Total ~ Age, data=menarche) 上圖很明顯的指出 age 與 menarch rate 呈指數關係，適用於羅輯回歸。 > glm.out = glm(cbind(Menarche, Total-Menarche) ~ Age, family = binomial(logit), data=m...
