The prediction-based method is used to determine the embedding dimension of the traffic data. Based on the reconstructed phase space, the local support vector machine prediction method is used to predict the traffic measurement data, and the BIC-based neighbouring point selection method is used to choose the number of the nearest neighbouring points for the local support vector machine regression model. The experimental results show that the local support vector machine prediction method whose neighbouring points are optimized can effectively predict the small-time scale traffic measurement data and can reproduce the statistical features of real traffic measurements.展开更多

HMM usually describes intra-class measure well and is good at dealing with continuous dynamic signals. SVM expresses inter-class difference effectively and has perfect classify ability. This approach is built on the merit of HMM and SVM. Then, the experiment is made in the transmission system of a helicopter. With the features extracted from vibration signals in gearbox, this HMM-SVM based diagnostic approach is trained and used to monitor and diagnose the gearbox's faults. The result shows that this method is better than HMM-based and SVM-based diagnosing methods in higher diagnostic accuracy with small training samples.展开更多

The precursory information of fault slip during the underground mining activities is studied as well. Based on the physical modeling, the optimization of roadway support design and the field verification in fault-influenced zone are conducted. Physical modeling results show that, due to the combined effect of mining activities and fault slip, the mining-induced pressure and the extent of damaged rock masses in the fault-influenced zone are greater than those in the uninfluenced zone. The sharp increase and the succeeding stabilization of stress or steady increase in displacement can be identified as the precursory information of fault slip. Considering the larger mining-induced pressure in the fault-influenced zone, the new support design utilizing cables is proposed. The optimization of roadway support design suggests that the cables can be anchored in the stable surrounding rocks and can effectively mobilize the load bearing capacity of the stable surrounding rocks. The field observation indicates that the roadway is in good condition with the optimized roadway support design.展开更多

It is a challenge to extract latent features and construct soft sensor model with high dimensional frequency spectra of these signals. This paper aims to develop a selective ensemble modeling approach based on nonlinear latent frequency spectral feature extraction for accurate measurement of material to ball volume ratio. Latent features are first extracted from different vibrations and acoustic spectral segments by kernel partial least squares. Algorithms of bootstrap and least squares support vector machines are employed to produce candidate sub-models using these latent features as inputs. Ensemble sub-models are selected based on genetic algorithm optimization toolbox. Partial least squares regression is used to combine these sub-models to eliminate collinearity among their prediction outputs. Results indicate that the proposed modeling approach has better prediction performance than previous ones.展开更多

The model incorporates Breast cancer patient-specific data that are well-structured having been attained from a prestudy’s administered questionnaires and current evidence-based guidelines. Obtained dataset of the prestudy’s questionnaires is processed via data mining techniques to generate an optimal clinical decision tree classifier model which serves physicians in enhancing their decision-making process while discharging a breast cancer patient on basic cognitive processes involved in medical thinking hence new, better-formed, and superior outcomes. The model also improves the quality of assessments by constructing predictive discharging models from code attributes enabling timely detection of deterioration in the quality of health of a breast cancer patient upon discharge. The outcome of implementing this study is a decision support model that bridges the gap occasioned by less informed clinical Breast cancer discharge that is based merely on experts’ opinions which is insufficiently reinforced for better treatment outcomes. The reinforced discharge decision for better treatment outcomes is through timely deployment of the decision support model to work hand in hand with the expertise in deriving an integrative discharge decision and has been an agreed strategy to eliminate the foreseeable deteriorating quality of health for a discharged breast cancer patients and surging rates of mortality blamed on mistrusted discharge decisions. In this paper, we will discuss breast cancer clinical knowledge, data mining techniques, the classifying model accuracy, and the Python web-based decision support model that predicts avoidable re-hospitalization of a breast cancer patient through an informed clinical discharging support model.展开更多

To overcome this challenge, decision modelling might allow us to gather evidence from previous studies as well as compare the costs and consequences of alternative options. For public health policy and clinical intervention assessment, it is a potentially powerful tool. The most commonly used types of decision analytical models include decision trees, the Markov model, microsimulation, discrete event simulation and the system dynamic model. Analytic models could support decision makers in the field of liver transplantation when facing specifc problems by synthesizing evidence, comprising all relevant options, generalizing results to other contexts, extending the time horizon and exploring the uncertainty. For modeling studies of economic evaluation for transplantation, understanding the current nature of the disease is crucial, as well as the selection of appropriate modelling techniques. The quality and availability of data is another key element for the selection and development of decision analytical models. In addition, good practice guidelines should be complied, which is important for standardization and comparability between economic outputs.展开更多

Floor heave has overridden seals installed in two mined out panels. The third seal's location was planned for isolating that area from the Mains. A plan of support has been developed to prevent repetition of the floor heave and related problems outby the seals. The applied ground control measures were successful. An attempt of a 3D numerical modeling was made; thus, it would match the observed behavior of the mine floor and could be used as a design tool in similar conditions. The paper describes sequence of events, an applied mitigation ground control system, and the first stage of numerical modeling.展开更多

The multi-agent genetic algorithm(MAGA) is used to estimate parameters of HMM to overcome the problem that the Baum-Welch algorithm is easy to fall into local optimal solution. The state condition probability is introduced into the HMM modeling process to reduce the effect of uncertain factors. MAGA is used to estimate parameters of LS-SVM. Moreover, pruning algorithms are used to estimate parameters to get the sparse approximation of LS-SVM so as to increase the ranging performance. On the basis of these, the combined forecast model of electronic equipment states is established. The example results show the superiority of the combined forecast model in terms of forecast precision,calculation speed and stability.展开更多

文摘As the gap between a shortage of organs and the im-mense demand for liver grafts persists, every available donor liver needs to be optimized for utility, urgency and equity. To overcome this challenge, decision modelling might allow us to gather evidence from previous studies as well as compare the costs and consequences of alternative options. For public health policy and clinical intervention assessment, it is a potentially powerful tool. The most commonly used types of decision analytical models include decision trees, the Markov model, microsimulation, discrete event simulation and the system dynamic model. Analytic models could support decision makers in the field of liver transplantation when facing specifc problems by synthesizing evidence, comprising all relevant options, generalizing results to other contexts, extending the time horizon and exploring the uncertainty. For modeling studies of economic evaluation for transplantation, understanding the current nature of the disease is crucial, as well as the selection of appropriate modelling techniques.

文摘The accuracy of predicting the Producer Price Index(PPI)plays an indispensable role in government economic work.However,it is difficult to forecast the PPI.In our research,we first propose an unprecedented hybrid model based on fuzzy information granulation that integrates the GA-SVR and ARIMA(Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model)models.The fuzzy-information-granulation-based GA-SVR-ARIMA hybrid model is intended to deal with the problem of imprecision in PPI estimation.The proposed model adopts the fuzzy information-granulation algorithm to pre-classification-process monthly training samples of the PPI,and produced three different sequences of fuzzy information granules,whose Support Vector Regression(SVR)machine forecast models were separately established for their Genetic Algorithm(GA)optimization parameters.Finally,the residual errors of the GA-SVR model were rectified through ARIMA modeling,and the PPI estimate was reached.Research shows that the PPI value predicted by this hybrid model is more accurate than that predicted by other models,including ARIMA,GRNN,and GA-SVR,following several comparative experiments.Research also indicates the precision and validation of the PPI prediction of the hybrid model and demonstrates that the model has consistent ability to leverage the forecasting advantage of GA-SVR in non-linear space and of ARIMA in linear space.

文摘Objective:To determine the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary tracheobronchial tumors(PTTs)in children,and to explore the most common tumor identification methods.Methods:The medical records of children with PTTs who were hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 1995 to January 2020 were reviewed retrospectively.The clinical features,imaging,treatments,and outcomes of these patients were statistically analyzed.Machine learning techniques such as Gaussian na?ve Bayes,support vector machine(SVM)and decision tree models were used to identify mucoepidermoid carcinoma(ME).Results:A total of 16 children were hospitalized with PTTs during the study period.This included 5(31.3%)children with ME,3(18.8%)children with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors(IMT),2 children(12.5%)with sarcomas,2(12.5%)children with papillomatosis and 1 child(6.3%)each with carcinoid carcinoma,adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC),hemangioma,and schwannoma,respectively.ME was the most common tumor type and amongst the 3 ME recognition methods,the SVM model showed the best performance.The main clinical symptoms of PPTs were cough(81.3%),breathlessness(50%),wheezing(43.8%),progressive dyspnea(37.5%),hemoptysis(37.5%),and fever(25%).Of the 16 patients,7 were treated with surgery,8 underwent bronchoscopic tumor resection,and 1 child died.Of the 11 other children,3 experienced recurrence,and the last 8 remained disease-free.No deaths were observed during the follow-up period.Conclusion:PTT are very rare in children and the highest percentage of cases is due to ME.The SVM model was highly accurate in identifying ME.Chest CT and bronchoscopy can effectively diagnose PTTs.Surgery and bronchoscopic intervention can both achieve good clinical results and the prognosis of the 11 children that were followed up was good.

文摘For the deficiency that the traditional single forecast methods could not forecast electronic equipment states, a combined forecast method based on the hidden Markov model(HMM) and least square support vector machine(LS-SVM) is presented. The multi-agent genetic algorithm(MAGA) is used to estimate parameters of HMM to overcome the problem that the Baum-Welch algorithm is easy to fall into local optimal solution. The state condition probability is introduced into the HMM modeling process to reduce the effect of uncertain factors. MAGA is used to estimate parameters of LS-SVM. Moreover, pruning algorithms are used to estimate parameters to get the sparse approximation of LS-SVM so as to increase the ranging performance. On the basis of these, the combined forecast model of electronic equipment states is established. The example results show the superiority of the combined forecast model in terms of forecast precision,calculation speed and stability.

文摘Background:The recognition of pancreatic injury in blunt abdominal trauma is often severely delayed in clinical practice.The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning model to support clinical diagnosis for early detection of abdominal trauma.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed of a large intensive care unit database(Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care[MIMIC]-IV)for model development and internal validation of the model,and performed outer validation based on a cross-national data set.Logistic regres-sion was used to develop three models(PI-12,PI-12-2,and PI-24).Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine variables in each model.The primary outcome was early detection of a pancreatic injury of any grade in patients with blunt abdominal trauma in the first 24 hours after hospitalization.Results:The incidence of pancreatic injuries was 5.56%(n=18)and 6.06%(n=6)in the development(n=324)and internal validation(n=99)cohorts,respectively.Internal validation cohort showed good discrimination with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve(AUC)value of 0.84(95%confidence interval[CI]:0.71–0.96)for PI-24.PI-24 had the best AUC,specificity,and positive predictive value(PPV)of all models,and thus it was chosen as the final model to support clinical diagnosis.PI-24 performed well in the outer validation cohort with an AUC value of 0.82(95%CI:0.65–0.98),specificity of 0.97(95%CI:0.91–1.00),and PPV of 0.67(95%CI:0.00–1.00).Conclusion:A novel machine learning-based model was developed to support clinical diagnosis to detect pancreatic injuries in patients with blunt abdominal trauma at an early stage.

文摘In transonic wind tunnel tests,the pulsating airflow is prone to induce the first order resonance of the sting support system.The resonance limits the wind tunnel test envelope,makes the test data inaccurate,and brings potential security risks.In this paper,a model support sting with constrained layer damping(CLD)treatment is proposed to reduce the first order resonance response.The CLD treatment mainly consists of material selection and geometric optimization processes.The damping performance of the optimized CLD sting is compared with an AISI 1045 steel sting with the identical diameter in laboratory.The frequency response curves of the CLD sting support system and the AISI 1045 steel sting support system are obtained by sine sweep tests.The test results show that the first order resonance response of the CLD sting support system is 37.3%of that of the AISI 1045 steel sting support system.The first order damping ratios are calculated from the frequency response curves by half power point method.It is found that the first order damping ratio of the CLD sting support system is approximately 2.6 times that of the AISI 1045 steel sting support system.
