The regularization parameter selection of the penalty term directly influences the NMR T2 inversion result. We implemented both norm smoothing and curvature smoothing methods for NMR T2 inversion, and compared the inversion results with respect to the optimal regular- ization parameters ((Xopt) which were selected by the dis- crepancy principle (DP), generalized cross-validation (GCV), S-curve, L-curve, and the slope of L-curve methods, respectively. The numerical results indicate that the DP method can lead to an oscillating or oversmoothed solution which is caused by an inaccurately estimated noise level. The (Xopt selected by the L-curve method is occa- sionally small or large which causes an undersmoothed or oversmoothed T2 distribution. The inversion results from GCV, S-curve and the slope of L-curve methods show satisfying inversion results. The slope of the L-curve method with less computation is more suitable for NMR T2 inversion. The inverted T2 distribution from norm smoothing is better than that from curvature smoothing when the noise level is high.展开更多

The results show that it is much easier for a surface with oxygen vacancies to adsorb gas molecules than it is for a surface without oxygen vacancies. The main factor affecting adsorption stability and energy is the polarizability of molecules, and adsorption is induced by surface oxygen vacancies of the negatively charged center. The analyses of state densities and charge population show that charge transfer occurs at the molecule surface upon adsorption and that the number of transferred charge reduces in the order of N, 0 and C. Moreover, the adsorption method is chemical adsorption, and adsorption stability decreases in the order of NH3, tt2 0 and CH4. Analyses of absorption and reflectance spectra reveal that after absorbed CH4 and H2 O, compared with the surface with oxygen vacancy, the optical properties of materials surface, including its absorption coefficients and reflectivity index, have slight changes, however, absorption coefficient and reflectivity would greatly increase after NH3 adsorption. These findings illustrate that anatase titanium dioxide (101) surface is extremely sensitive to NH3.展开更多

It can effectively avoid the problems caused by the wrong setting of the model. In the variable selection based on Bayesian empirical likelihood, the penalty term is introduced into the model in the form of parameter prior. In this paper, we propose a novel variable selection method, L<sub>1/2</sub> regularization based on Bayesian empirical likelihood. The L<sub>1/2</sub> penalty is introduced into the model through a scale mixture of uniform representation of generalized Gaussian prior, and the posterior distribution is then sampled using MCMC method. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can have better predictive ability when the error violates the zero-mean normality assumption of the standard parameter model, and can perform variable selection.展开更多

The overall design of PFNNCs was realized by means of fuzzy rules that come in form of three parts, namely premise part, consequence part and aggregation part. The premise part was developed by density fuzzy c-means that helps determine the apex parameters of membership functions, while the consequence part was realized by means of two types of polynomials including linear and quadratic. L2-norm regularization that can alleviate the overfitting problem was exploited to estimate the parameters of polynomials, which constructed the aggregation part. Experimental results of several data sets demonstrate that the proposed classifiers show higher classification accuracy in comparison with some other classifiers reported in the literature.展开更多

A formula of regularization factor was proposed by analyzing the relationship between the improved SVD and regularization method. The improved SVD algorithm and regularization method could adapt to low SNR. The regularization method is better than the improved SVD in the case that SNR is below 30 and the improved SVD is better than the regularization method when SNR is higher than 30. The regularization method with the regularization factor proposed in this paper can be better applied into low SNR (5〈SNR) NMR logging. The numerical simulations and real NMR data process results indicated that the improved SVD algorithm and regularization method could adapt to the low signal to noise ratio and reduce the amount of computation greatly.
