The auto-regressive(AR) model of group pulse current flowing across the cathode and the anode are created under different situations with different processing parameters and inter-electrode gap size. The AR model based on the current signals indicates that the order of the AR model is obviously different relating to the different processing conditions and the inter-electrode gap size; Moreover, it is different about the stability of the dynamic system, i.e. the white noise response of the Green's function of the dynamic system is diverse. In addition, power spectrum method is used in the analysis of the dynamic time series about the current signals with different inter-electrode gap size, the results show that there exists a strongest power spectrum peak, characteristic power spectrum(CPS), to the current signals related to the different inter-electrode gap size in the range of 0~5 kHz. Therefore, the CPS of current signals can implement the identification of the inter-electrode gap.展开更多

This study aims to utilize the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to forecast solar irradiance levels and weather characteristics in the San Francisco Bay Area. The results demonstrate a correlation between predicted and actual solar irradiance, indicating the effectiveness of the VAR model for this task. However, the model may not be sufficient for this region due to the requirement of additional weather features to reduce disparities between predictions and actual observations. Additionally, the current lag order in the model is relatively low, limiting its ability to capture all relevant information from past observations. As a result, the model’s forecasting capability is limited to short-term horizons, with a maximum horizon of four hours.展开更多

Three typical oceanographic factors aff ecting the squid habitat were investigated in this research, including sea surface temperature(SST), sea surface salinity(SSS) and sea surface height(SSH). We studied the CPUE-environment relationships for D. gigas using a spatially-lagged version of spatial autoregressive(SAR) model and a generalized additive model(GAM), with the latter for auxiliary and comparative purposes. The annual fishery centroids were distributed broadly in an area bounded by 79.5°–82.7°W and 11.9°–17.1°S, while the monthly fishery centroids were spatially close and lay in a smaller area bounded by 81.0°–81.2°W and 14.3°–15.4°S. Our results show that the preferred environmental ranges for D. gigas offshore Peru were 20.9°–21.9°C for SST, 35.16–35.32 for SSS and 27.2–31.5 cm for SSH in the areas bounded by 78°–80°W/82–84°W and 15°–18°S. Monthly spatial distributions during October to December were predicted using the calibrated GAM and SAR models and general similarities were found between the observed and predicted patterns for the nominal CPUE of D. gigas. The overall accuracies for the hotspots generated by the SAR model were much higher than those produced by the GAM model for all three months. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the spatiotemporal distributions of D. gigas off shore Peru, and off er a new SAR modeling method for advancing fishery science.展开更多

The estimation strategy successfully lessens the curse of dimensionality affecting VAR models, when estimated using sample sizes typically available in quarterly studies. The procedure involves a dynamic regression using a subset of principal components extracted from a vector time series, and the recovery of the implied unrestricted VAR parameter estimates by solving a set of linear constraints. PC-VAR and OLS estimation of unrestricted VAR models show the same asymptotic properties. Monte Carlo results strongly support PC-VAR estimation, yielding gains, in terms of both lower bias and higher efficiency, relatively to OLS estimation of high dimensional unrestricted VAR models in small samples.

In addition, as an alternative approach, the griddy Gibbs sampler is proposed by [1] and utilized by [2]. This paper proposes an acceptance-rejection Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a third approach, and compares these three algorithms through Monte Carlo experiments. The experimental results show that the griddy Gibbs sampler is the most efficient algorithm among the algorithms whether the number of observations is small or not in terms of the computation time and the inefficiency factors. Moreover, it seems to work well when the size of grid is 100.展开更多

However, in the construction of a model, extreme data or dirtiness of data is inevitable. In this study, AR model is used with the exchange rate historical data (January 2007 until December 2007) for USD/MYR and is divided into 1-, 3- and 6-horizontal months respectively. Since the presence of extreme data will affect the accuracy of the results obtained in a prediction. Therefore, to obtain a more accurate prediction results, the bootstrap approach was implemented by hybrid with AR model coins as the Bootstrap Autoregressive model (BAR). The effectiveness of the proposed model is investigated by comparing the existing and the proposed model through the statistical performance methods which are RMSE, MAE and MAD. The comparison involves 1%, 5% and 10% for each horizontal month. The results showed that the BAR model performed better than the AR model in terms of sensitivity to extreme data, the accuracy of forecasting models, efficiency and predictability of the model prediction. In conclusion, bootstrap method can alleviate the sensitivity of the model to the extreme data, thereby improving the accuracy of forecasting model which also have high prediction efficiency and that can increase the predictability of the model.展开更多

文摘The classical autoregressive(AR)model has been widely applied to predict future data usingmpast observations over five decades.As the classical AR model required m unknown parameters,this paper implements the AR model by reducing m parameters to two parameters to obtain a new model with an optimal delay called as the m-delay AR model.We derive the m-delay AR formula for approximating two unknown parameters based on the least squares method and develop an algorithm to determine optimal delay based on a brute-force technique.The performance of them-delay AR model was tested by comparing with the classical AR model.The results,obtained from Monte Carlo simulation using the monthly mean minimum temperature in PerthWestern Australia from the Bureau of Meteorology,are no significant difference compared to those obtained from the classical AR model.This confirms that the m-delay AR model is an effective model for time series analysis.
文摘A random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm has been widely used in sampling the parameter of spatial interaction in spatial autoregressive model from a Bayesian point of view. In addition, as an alternative approach, the griddy Gibbs sampler is proposed by [1] and utilized by [2]. This paper proposes an acceptance-rejection Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a third approach, and compares these three algorithms through Monte Carlo experiments. The experimental results show that the griddy Gibbs sampler is the most efficient algorithm among the algorithms whether the number of observations is small or not in terms of the computation time and the inefficiency factors. Moreover, it seems to work well when the size of grid is 100.
文摘The use of historical data is important in making the predictions, for instance in the exchange rate. However, in the construction of a model, extreme data or dirtiness of data is inevitable. In this study, AR model is used with the exchange rate historical data (January 2007 until December 2007) for USD/MYR and is divided into 1-, 3- and 6-horizontal months respectively. Since the presence of extreme data will affect the accuracy of the results obtained in a prediction. Therefore, to obtain a more accurate prediction results, the bootstrap approach was implemented by hybrid with AR model coins as the Bootstrap Autoregressive model (BAR). The effectiveness of the proposed model is investigated by comparing the existing and the proposed model through the statistical performance methods which are RMSE, MAE and MAD. The comparison involves 1%, 5% and 10% for each horizontal month. The results showed that the BAR model performed better than the AR model in terms of sensitivity to extreme data, the accuracy of forecasting models, efficiency and predictability of the model prediction. In conclusion, bootstrap method can alleviate the sensitivity of the model to the extreme data, thereby improving the accuracy of forecasting model which also have high prediction efficiency and that can increase the predictability of the model.
