Velthoen, J.J. (author), Dombry, Clément (author), Cai, Juan Juan (author), Engelke, Sebastian (author)Extreme quantile regression provides estimates of conditional quantiles outside the range of the data. Classical quantile regression performs poorly in such cases since data in the tail region are too scarce. Extreme value theory is used for extrapolation beyond the range of observed values and estimation of conditional extreme quantiles....journal article 2023

Cai, Z. (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)The sensation of touching virtual texture and shape can be provided to a touchscreen user by varying the friction force. Despite the saliency of the sensation, this modulated frictional force is purely passive and strictly opposes finger movement. Therefore, it is only possible to create forces along the direction of movement and this...journal article 2023
