Selection of the kernel bandwidth is a critical issue in kernel density estimation (KDE). The plug-in method is adopted to get the global fixed bandwidth by optimizing the asymptotic mean integrated squared error (AMISE) firstly. Then, particle-driven bandwidth selection is invoked in the KDE. To get a more effective allocation of the particles, the KDE with adap- tive bandwidth in the BAKPF is used to approximate the posterior probability density function (PDF) by moving particles toward the posterior. A closed-form expression of the true distribution is given. The simulation results show that the proposed BAKPF performs better than the standard particle filter (PF), unscented particle filter (UPF) and the kernel particle filter (KPF) both in efficiency and estimation precision.展开更多

Meanwhile,the kernel density is used to estimate the weight of updating particle and the system state. The simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Most of current models are built using the parametric density estimation(PDE) methods, which usually assume that the wind speed are subordinate to a certain known distribution(e.g. Weibull distribution and Normal distribution) and estimate the parameters of models with the historical data. This paper presents a kernel density estimation(KDE) method which is a nonparametric way to estimate the probability density function(PDF) of wind speed. The method is a kind of data-driven approach without making any assumption on the form of the underlying wind speed distribution, and capable of uncovering the statistical information hidden in the historical data. The proposed method is compared with three parametric models using wind data from six sites.The results indicate that the KDE outperforms the PDE in terms of accuracy and flexibility in describing the longterm wind speed distributions for all sites. A sensitivity analysis with respect to kernel functions is presented and Gauss kernel function is proved to be the best one. Case studies on a standard IEEE reliability test system(IEEERTS) have verified the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model in evaluating the reliability performance of wind farms.展开更多

In this study, we analyzed the spatial pattern evolution characteristics, spatial autocorrelation and influencing factors of cold storage in China by using kernel density estimation(KDE), spatial autocorrelation analysis(SAA), and spatial error model(SEM). Results showed that: 1) the spatial distribution of cold storage in China is unbalanced, and has evolved from ‘one core’ to ‘one core and many spots’, that is, ‘one core’ refers to the Bohai Rim region mainly including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Liaoning regions, and ‘many spots’ mainly include the high-density areas such as Shanghai, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Wuhan, ürümqi. 2) The distribution of cold storage has significant global spatial autocorrelation and local spatial autocorrelation, and the ‘High-High’ cluster area is the most stable, mainly concentrated in the Bohai Rim;the ‘Low-Low’ cluster area is grouped in the southern China. 3) Economic development level, population density, traffic accessibility, temperature and land price, all affect the location choice of cold storage in varying degrees, while the impact of market demand on it is not explicit.展开更多

Nevertheless, many accidents still occur on residential roads. Area-wide traffic calming measures including Zone 30, which discourages traffic by setting a speed limit of 30 km/h in residential areas, have been implemented. However, no objective implementation method has been established. Development of a model for traffic accident density estimation explained by GIS data can enable the determination of dangerous areas objectively and easily, indicating where area-wide traffic calming can be implemented preferentially. This study examined the relations between traffic accidents and city characteristics, such as population, road factors, and spatial factors. A model was developed to estimate traffic accident density. Kernel density estimation (KDE) techniques were used to assess the relations efficiently. Besides, 16 models were developed by combining accident locations, accident types, and data types. By using them, the applicability of traffic accident density estimation models was examined. Results obtained using Spearman rank correlation show high coefficients between the predicted number and the actual number. The model can indicate the relative accident risk in cities. Results of this study can be used for objective determination of areas where area-wide traffic calming can be implemented preferentially, even if sufficient traffic accident data are not available.展开更多

In order to reduce the time and space complexity, a novel density estimation method Dm-KDE over data streams based on the proposed algorithm m-KDE which can be used to design a KDE estimator with the fixed number of kernel components for a dataset is proposed. In this method, Dm-KDE sequence entries are created by algorithm m-KDE instead of all kemels obtained from other density estimation methods. In order to further reduce the storage space, Dm-KDE sequence entries can be merged by calculating their KL divergences. Finally, the probability density functions over arbitrary time or entire time can be estimated through the obtained estimation model. In contrast to the state-of-the-art algorithm SOMKE, the distinctive advantage of the proposed algorithm Dm-KDE exists in that it can achieve the same accuracy with much less fixed number of kernel components such that it is suitable for the scenarios where higher on-line computation about the kernel density estimation over data streams is required. We compare Dm-KDE with SOMKE and M-kernel in terms of density estimation accuracy and running time for various stationary datasets. We also apply Dm-KDE to evolving data streams. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the pro- posed method.展开更多

Development of a model for traffic accident density estimation explained by GIS data can enable the determination of dangerous areas objectively and easily, indicating where area-wide traffic calming can be implemented preferentially. This study examined the relations between traffic accidents and city characteristics, such as population, road factors, and spatial factors. A model was developed to estimate traffic accident density. Kernel density estimation (KDE) techniques were used to assess the relations efficiently. Besides, 16 models were developed by combining accident locations, accident types, and data types. By using them, the applicability of traffic accident density estimation models was examined. Results obtained using Spearman rank correlation show high coefficients between the predicted number and the actual number. The model can indicate the relative accident risk in cities. Results of this study can be used for objective determination of areas where area-wide traffic calming can be implemented preferentially, even if sufficient traffic accident data are not available.

文摘In many data stream mining applications, traditional density estimation methods such as kemel density estimation, reduced set density estimation can not be applied to the density estimation of data streams because of their high computational burden, processing time and intensive memory allocation requirement. In order to reduce the time and space complexity, a novel density estimation method Dm-KDE over data streams based on the proposed algorithm m-KDE which can be used to design a KDE estimator with the fixed number of kernel components for a dataset is proposed. In this method, Dm-KDE sequence entries are created by algorithm m-KDE instead of all kemels obtained from other density estimation methods. In order to further reduce the storage space, Dm-KDE sequence entries can be merged by calculating their KL divergences. Finally, the probability density functions over arbitrary time or entire time can be estimated through the obtained estimation model. In contrast to the state-of-the-art algorithm SOMKE, the distinctive advantage of the proposed algorithm Dm-KDE exists in that it can achieve the same accuracy with much less fixed number of kernel components such that it is suitable for the scenarios where higher on-line computation about the kernel density estimation over data streams is required. We compare Dm-KDE with SOMKE and M-kernel in terms of density estimation accuracy and running time for various stationary datasets. We also apply Dm-KDE to evolving data streams. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the pro- posed method.

文摘Traditional methods for early warning of dam displacements usually assume that residual displacements follow a normal distribution.This assumption deviates from the reality,thereby affecting the reliability of early warning results and leading to misjudgments of dam displacement behavior.To solve this problem,this study proposed an early warning method using a non-normal distribution function.A new early warning index was developed using cumulative distribution function(CDF)values.The method of kernel density estimation was used to calculate the CDF values of residual displacements at a single point.The copula function was used to compute the CDF values of residual displacements at multiple points.Numerical results showed that,with residual displacements in a non-normal distribution,the early warning method proposed in this study accurately reflected the dam displacement behavior and effectively reduced the frequency of false alarms.This method is expected to aid in the safe operation of dams.
