The 26 years'incomplete data of wind speeds, measured on an hourly basis, are used as reference. The possibility of imputation using simulated results of the Auto-Regressive (AR), Moving-Average (MA), and/ or Auto-Regressive and Moving-Average (ARMA) models is studied. Predictions of the 25-year extreme wind speeds based upon the augmented data are compared with the original series. Based upon the results, predictions of the 50- and 100-year extreme wind speeds are then made.展开更多

Application of modern information technology to prediction and early response can be helpful for efficient HFMD prevention and control. A seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average（ARIMA） model for time series analysis was designed in this study. Eighty-four-month（from January 2009 to December 2015） retrospective data obtained from the Chinese Information System for Disease Prevention and Control were subjected to ARIMA modeling. The coefficient of determination（R^2）, normalized Bayesian Information Criterion（BIC） and Q-test P value were used to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of constructed models. Subsequently, the best-fitted ARIMA model was applied to predict the expected incidence of HFMD from January 2016 to December 2016. The best-fitted seasonal ARIMA model was identified as（1,0,1）（0,1,1）12, with the largest coefficient of determination（R^2=0.743） and lowest normalized BIC（BIC=3.645） value. The residuals of the model also showed non-significant autocorrelations（P_（Box-Ljung（Q））=0.299）. The predictions by the optimum ARIMA model adequately captured the pattern in the data and exhibited two peaks of activity over the forecast interval, including a major peak during April to June, and again a light peak for September to November. The ARIMA model proposed in this study can forecast HFMD incidence trend effectively, which could provide useful support for future HFMD prevention and control in the study area. Besides, further observations should be added continually into the modeling data set, and parameters of the models should be adjusted accordingly.展开更多

The time-variable parameters of Logistic regression model is estimated by using both the index smoothing method and the time-variable parameter estimation method. And both the AR（1） model and the AR（2） model of zero-mean series of the weekly dosing price and its zero-mean series of volatility rate are established based on the analysis results of zero-mean series of the weekly closing price, Six common statistical methods for error prediction are used to test the predicting results. These methods are： mean error （ME）, mean absolute error （MAE）, root mean squared error （RMSE）, mean absolute percentage error （MAPE）, Akaike＇s information criterion （AIC）, and Bayesian information criterion （BIC）. The investigation shows that AR（1） model exhibits the best predicting result, whereas AR（2） model exhibits predicting results that is intermediate between AR（1） model and the Logistic regression model.展开更多

Modal information, such as fre-quencies and mode shapes, are widely used for structural dama-ge detection to indicate the health conditions of civil structures.The deep learning algorithm that works on a multiple layer neuralnetwork model termed as deep autoencoder is proposed to learnthe relationship between the modal information and structural stiff-ness parameters. This is achieved via dimension reduction of themodal information feature and a non-linear regression against thestructural stiffness parameters. Numerical tests on a symmetri-cal steel frame model are conducted to generate the data for thetraining and validation, and to demonstrate the efficiency of theproposed approach for vibration based structural damage detec-tion.展开更多

A new AR model called the time varying parameter AR model is proposed for solution of non-stationary time series with finite length. The auto-covariances of time series simulated by means of several AR models are analyzed. The result shows that the new AR model can be used to simulate and generate a new time series with the auto-covariance same as the original time series. The size curves of cocoon filaments re- garded as non-stationary time series with finite length are experimentally simulated. The simulation results are significantly better than those obtained so far, and illustrate the availability of the time varying parameter AR model. The results are useful for analyzing and simulating non-stationary time series with finite length.展开更多

A prerequisite to widespread deployment of CBM technology and prac- tice in industry is effective diagnostics and prognostics. Recently, a pattern recog- nition technique called HMM （hidden Markov model） was widely used in many fields. However, due to some unrealistic assumptions, diagnositic results from HMM were not so good, and it was difficult to use HMM directly for prognosis. By relaxing the unrealistic assumptions in HMM, this paper presents a novel approach to equip- ment health management based on auto-regressive hidden semi-Markov model （AR-HSMM）. Compared with HMM, AR-HSMM has three advantages： 1） It allows explicitly modeling the time duration of the hidden states and therefore is capable of prognosis. 2） It can relax observations＇ independence assumption by accom- modating a link between consecutive observations. 3） It does not follow the unre- alistic Markov chain＇s memoryless assumption and therefore provides more pow- erful modeling and analysis capability for real problems. To facilitate the computa- tion in the proposed AR-HSMM-based diagnostics and prognostics, new forward- backward variables are defined and a modified forward-backward algorithm is de- veloped. The evaluation of the proposed methodology was carried out through a real world application case study： health diagnosis and prognosis of hydraulic pumps in Caterpillar Inc. The testing results show that the proposed new approach based on AR-HSMM is effective and can provide useful support for the decision- making in equipment health management.展开更多
