Based on the Taguchi experimental design (L9 orthogonal array) method, a series of experiments were performed by considering pulse-on time, pulse-off time, peak current and wire tension as input parameters. The surface roughness and cutting speed were considered responses. Based on the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, the influence of the input parameters on the responses was determined. The optimal machining parameters setting for the maximum cutting speed and minimum surface roughness were found using Taguchi methodology. Then, additive model was employed for prediction of all (34) possible machining combinations. Finally, a handy technology table has been reported using Pareto optimality approach.展开更多

Normal distribution, t distribution and generalized Pareto distribution assumptions are adopted re- spectively to simulate the random component in the model. The demonstration of the quantile of network traffic series indicates that common GARCH-M model can partially deal with the "fat tail" problem. However, the "fat tail" characteristic of the random component directly affects the accura- cy of the calculation. Even t distribution is based on the assumption for all the data. On the other hand, extreme value theory, which only concentrates on the tail distribution, can provide more ac- curate result for high quantiles. The best result is obtained based on the generalized Pareto distribu- tion assumption for the random component in the GARCH-M model.展开更多
