After the spacial average of the data is carried out and the secular monthly means are substracted, a time series (Jan. 1951-Dec. 1985) of SST anomalies of the cold tongue water area in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is obtained. On the basis of the time series, an autoregression model, a self-exciting threshold autoregression model and an open loop autoregression model are developed respectively. The interannual variations are simulated by means of those models. The simulation results show that all the three models have made very good hindcasting for the nine El Nino events since 1951. In order to test the reliability of the open loop threshold model, extrapolated forecast was made for the period of Jan. 1986-Feb. 1987. It can be seen from the forecasting that the model could forecast well the beginning and strengthening stages of the recent El Nino event (1986-1987). Correlation coefficients of the estimations to observations are respectively 0. 84, 0. 88 and 0. 89. It is obvious that all the models work well and the open loop threshold one is the best. So the open loop threshold autoregression model is a useful tool for monitoring the SSTinterannual variation of the cold tongue water area in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean and for estimating the El Nino strength.展开更多

The eye movements such as eyes open, eyes blinks, glancing left and glancing right related to a few areas of human brain were investigated. A Hamming low pass filter was applied to remove noise and artifacts of the eye signals and to extract the frequency range of the measured signals. An autoregressive model was employed to produce coefficients containing features of the EEG eye signals. The coefficients obtained were inserted the input layer of a neural network model to classify the eye activities. In addition, a mean threshold algorithm was employed for classifying eye movements. Two methods were compared to find the better one for applying in the wheelchair control to follow users to reach the desired direction. Experimental results of controlling the wheelchair in the indoor environment illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.展开更多

文摘针对非线性波动性发展的滑坡,为了提高其位移变化的预测精度,以经验模态分解(Empirical Mode Decomposition)方法对滑坡监测地表位移的时间序列进行处理,将不规律变化的位移序列转化为存在一定规律变化的模态分量,得到不同频率的位移分量,对每一分量单独预测,避免误差相互影响,通过预测所有分量的变化趋势来综合预测位移序列的变化趋势,利用改进门限自回归模型(Threshold Auto Regressive)对非稳态谐波描述性较好的优势预测滑坡位移分量,最后模态叠加得到最终预测位移,建立了基于经验模态分解和门限自回归模型的组合预测模型,结合白水河滑坡实例数据验证该模型的预测精度,通过与BP神经网络模型、长短时间记忆网络模型进行预测对比,提出的组合模型预测精度较高,为滑坡位移的预测提供了一种新的方法。
