AbstractThere are many occasions in structural health monitoring (SHM) on which collected data sets contain missing observations. Such instances may occur as a result of failed communications or packet losses in a wireless sensor network or as a result of sensing and sampling methods—for example, mobile sensing. By implementing modified expectation and maximization steps, structural identification using expectation maximization (STRIDE) is capable of processing data in these circumstances and…
