Based on responses data, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of maximum likelihood estimators and then the calculating formula were presented. After a simulation study, the proposed approach was applied to 65# detonator. Numerical results showed that estimators of percentiles from the proposed approach are robust to the parametric models lacking information on the original response distribution.展开更多

The diary was kept in the morning and in the evening. It contains regular observational data collected during over 13 years. Statistical estimates of series and their spectral responses were obtained. A difference between the morning and evening series was noted. Spectral harmonics with the period of 7 days was typical of the evening series. The morning series are characterized by a ＂lunar＂ component with the -27.35-day period. The examined series were also compared with the daily series of atmospheric pressure and daily Wolf numbers. Seasonal pulse and arterial pressure pattern and average monthly self-control tabulated data obtained during 13 years are presented in the paper.展开更多

Utilizing...A methodology, termed estimation error minimization(EEM) method, was proposed to determine the optimal number and locations of sensors so as to better estimate the vibration response of the entire structure. Utilizing the limited sensor measurements, the entire structure response can be estimated based on the system equivalent reduction-expansion process(SEREP) method. In order to compare the capability of capturing the structural vibration response with other optimal sensor placement(OSP) methods, the effective independence(EI) method, modal kinetic energy(MKE) method and modal assurance criterion(MAC) method, were also investigated. A statistical criterion, root mean square error(RMSE), was employed to assess the magnitude of the estimation error between the real response and the estimated response. For investigating the effectiveness and accuracy of the above OSP methods, a 31-bar truss structure is introduced as a simulation example. The analysis results show that both the maximum and mean of the RMSE value obtained from the EEM method are smaller than those from other OSP methods, which indicates that the optimal sensor configuration obtained from the EEM method can provide a more accurate estimation of the entire structure response compared with the EI, MKE and MAC methods.展开更多

Sparse representation based parameter estimation methods have developed rapidly. Construction of the separable dictionary is a key issue for sparse representation technology. A compressive time-domain dictionary(TD) for ASC model is presented. Two-dimensional frequency domain responses of the ASC are produced and transformed into the time domain. Then these time domain responses are cutoff and stacked into vectors. These vectored time-domain responses are amalgamated to form the TD. Compared with the traditional frequency-domain dictionary(FD), the TD is a matrix that is quite spare and can markedly reduce the data size of the dictionary. Based on the basic TD construction method, we present four extended TD construction methods, which are available for different applications. In the experiments, the performance of the TD, including the basic model and the extended models, has been firstly analyzed in comparison with the FD. Secondly, an example of parameter estimation from SAR synthetic aperture radar(SAR) measurements of a target collected in an anechoic room is exhibited. Finally, a sparse image reconstruction example is from two apart apertures. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed TD.展开更多

However, it does not explicitly consider the additive measurement noise at the input, which actually exists in practice. Aiming at this issue, an enhanced MMLETDE algorithm is proposed for noisy inputs based on the unbiased impulse response estimation technique, assuming that the noise power ratio is known a priori. Simulation results show that for narrowband signals or sinusoids over a wide frequency range, the proposed algorithm with a small filter order performs well in moderate and high noise scenarios.展开更多
