The nodes are modeled by the Gaussian mixture model. The connectivity between nodes is judged by their cross-correlation function, which is also used to calculate their transition time distribution. The mutual information of the connected node pair is employed for transition probability calculation. A false link eliminating approach is proposed, along with a topology updating strategy to improve the learned topology. A real monitoring system with five disjoint cameras is built for experiments. Comparative results with traditional methods show that the proposed method is more accurate in topology learning and is more robust to environmental changes.展开更多

The prediction agrees with experimental data reasonably well. Accurency of prediction from the new model is comparable with the models reported in the literature. However, the new model has a potential capability to predict the average liquid recirculation velocity at elevated pressure bubble columns since n and c is developed under pressure. However this needs to be further tested experimentally.展开更多

We propose an algorithm to quantify the theory of correlations and to give an intuitive, more accurate correlation coefficient.We propose a predictive metric to calculate correlations between paired values, known as the general rank-based correlation coefficient. It fulfills the five basic criteria of a predictive metric: independence from sample size,value between-1 and 1, measuring the degree of monotonicity, insensitivity to outliers, and intuitive demonstration.Furthermore, the metric has been validated by performing experiments using a real-time dataset and random number simulations. Mathematical derivations of the proposed equations have also been provided. We have compared it to Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The comparison results show that the proposed metric fares better than the existing metric on all the predictive metric criteria.展开更多

We are primarily interested in the size of this set and properties of the comultiplications such as associativity and commutativity. Our methods involve Whitehead products in wedges of spheres and the Hopf-Hilton invariants. We apply our results to specific examples and determine the number of comultiplications, associative comultiplications and commutative comultiplications in these cases.展开更多

Qualitatively, at finite temperature the transverse correlation reflects the short-range interaction between spins, so that lowers the internal energy and consequently raises the free energy. It also means the introduction o[ some ordering, and hence lowers the entropy. It is depressed by the field which forces the spins to turn to the field direction, so that it decreases with the field when temperature is fixed. The low-temperature expansion of the energy shows that the inclusion of the transverse correlation at least partly considers the interaction between spin waves.展开更多

Based on this result, an inference method is presented, and the Nonlinear Dependence Coefficient is defined. This method is designed for testing nonlinear dependence between time series, and can be used in economic analysis and forecasting. Numerical results show the method is effective.展开更多
