A novel noise reduction technique for underwater acoustic signals based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise,minimum mean square variance criterion and least mean square adaptive filter

Underwater acoustic signal processing is one of the research hotspots in underwater acoustics.Noise reduction of underwater acoustic signals is the key to underwater acoustic signal processing.Owing to the complexity of marine environment and the particularity of underwater acoustic channel,noise reduction of underwater acoustic signals has always been a difficult challenge in the field of underwater acoustic signal processing.In order to solve the dilemma,we proposed a novel noise reduction technique for underwater acoustic signals based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise(CEEMDAN),minimum mean square variance criterion(MMSVC) and least mean square adaptive filter(LMSAF).This noise reduction technique,named CEEMDAN-MMSVC-LMSAF,has three main advantages:(i) as an improved algorithm of empirical mode decomposition(EMD) and ensemble EMD(EEMD),CEEMDAN can better suppress mode mixing,and can avoid selecting the number of decomposition in variational mode decomposition(VMD);(ii) MMSVC can identify noisy intrinsic mode function(IMF),and can avoid selecting thresholds of different permutation entropies;(iii) for noise reduction of noisy IMFs,LMSAF overcomes the selection of deco mposition number and basis function for wavelet noise reduction.Firstly,CEEMDAN decomposes the original signal into IMFs,which can be divided into noisy IMFs and real IMFs.Then,MMSVC and LMSAF are used to detect identify noisy IMFs and remove noise components from noisy IMFs.Finally,both denoised noisy IMFs and real IMFs are reconstructed and the final denoised signal is obtained.Compared with other noise reduction techniques,the validity of CEEMDAN-MMSVC-LMSAF can be proved by the analysis of simulation signals and real underwater acoustic signals,which has the better noise reduction effect and has practical application value.CEEMDAN-MMSVC-LMSAF also provides a reliable basis for the detection,feature extraction,classification and recognition of underwater acoustic signals.

MARKOV-MODULATED MEAN-VARIANCE PROBLEM FOR AN INSURER

In this paper, we consider an insurance company which has the option of investing in a risky asset and a risk-free asset, whose price parameters are driven by a finite state Markov chain. The risk process of the insurance company is modeled as a diffusion process whose diffusion and drift parameters switch over time according to the same Markov chain. We study the Markov-modulated mean-variance problem for the insurer and derive explicitly the closed form of the efficient strategy and efficient frontier. In the case of no regime switching, we can see that the efficient frontier in our paper coincides with that of [10] when there is no pure jump.

Portfolio Choice under the Mean-Variance Model with Parameter Uncertainty

Assuming the investor is uncertainty-aversion,the multiprior approach is applied to studying the problem of portfolio choice under the uncertainty about the expected return of risky asset based on the mean-variance model. By introducing a set of constraint constants to measure uncertainty degree of the estimated expected return,it built the max-min model of multi-prior portfolio,and utilized the Lagrange method to obtain the closed-form solution of the model,which was compared with the mean-variance model and the minimum-variance model; then,an empirical study was done based on the monthly returns over the period June 2011 to May 2014 of eight kinds of stocks in Shanghai Exchange 50 Index. Results showed,the weight of multi-prior portfolio was a weighted average of the weight of mean-variance portfolio and that of minimumvariance portfolio; the steady of multi-prior portfolio was strengthened compared with the mean-variance portfolio; the performance of multi-prior portfolio was greater than that of minimum-variance portfolio. The study demonstrates that the investor can improve the steady of multi-prior portfolio as well as its performance for some appropriate constraint constants.

On the Mean Difference Variance in Random Samples of Student’s Variables

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the expression of the sample mean difference variance of the Student’s distributive model. In the 2007 the study of the mean difference variance, after some decades, was resumed by Campobasso [1]. Using the Nair’s [2] and Lomnicki’s general results [3], he obtained the variance of sample mean difference for different distributive models (Laplace’s, triangular, power, logit, Pareto’s and Gumbel’s model). In addition he extended the knowledge comparing to the ones already known for the other distributive model (normal, rectangular and exponential model).

A Mean-variance Problem in the Constant Elasticity of Variance(CEV) Model

In this paper, we focus on a constant elasticity of variance （CEV） modeland want to find its optimal strategies for a mean-variance problem under two constrainedcontrols： reinsurance/new business and investment （no-shorting）. First, aLagrange multiplier is introduced to simplify the mean-variance problem and thecorresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman （HJB） equation is established. Via a powertransformation technique and variable change method, the optimal strategies withthe Lagrange multiplier are obtained. Final, based on the Lagrange duality theorem,the optimal strategies and optimal value for the original problem （i.e., the efficientstrategies and efficient frontier） are derived explicitly.

Performance of CMIP6 models in simulating the dynamic sea level:Mean and interannual variance

本研究采用卫星测高数据与第六次国际耦合模式比较计划(CMIP6)海平面动力进行对比,重点针对40S-40N地区的动力海平面(DSL),评估了模式对其平均态与年际变率的综合模拟能力,结果表明,对于DSL平均态的模拟,模式与观测结果非常吻合,模式之间的差异较小.其中,副热带北大西洋是模拟偏差和模式间差异较为显著的区域,对于DSL年际变率的模拟,模式之间保持较高的一致性,但是,模式与观测结果存在明显差异,模式普遍低估了DSL的年际方差;其中,误差大值区域出现在副热带西边界流附近,模式分辨率会影响CMIP6对中小尺度海洋过程的重现能力,这可能是导致CMIP6历史模拟出现误差的原因之一.

Goal Achieving Probabilities of Mean-Variance Strategies in a Market with Regime-Switching Volatility

In this paper, we establish properties for the switch-when-safe mean-variance strategies in the context of a Black-Scholes market model with stochastic volatility processes driven by a continuous-time Markov chain with a finite number of states. More precisely, expressions for the goal-achieving probabilities of the terminal wealth are obtained and numerical comparisons of lower bounds for these probabilities are shown for various market parameters. We conclude with asymptotic results when the Markovian changes in the volatility parameters appear with either higher or lower frequencies.

Estimation of Population Variance Using the Coefficient of Kurtosis and Median of an Auxiliary Variable under Simple Random Sampling

In this study we have proposed a modified ratio type estimator for population variance of the study variable y under simple random sampling without replacement making use of coefficient of kurtosis and median of an auxiliary variable x. The estimator’s properties have been derived up to first order of Taylor’s series expansion. The efficiency conditions derived theoretically under which the proposed estimator performs better than existing estimators. Empirical studies have been done using real populations to demonstrate the performance of the developed estimator in comparison with the existing estimators. The proposed estimator as illustrated by the empirical studies performs better than the existing estimators under some specified conditions i.e. it has the smallest Mean Squared Error and the highest Percentage Relative Efficiency. The developed estimator therefore is suitable to be applied to situations in which the variable of interest has a positive correlation with the auxiliary variable.

General Classes of Variance Estimators in Simple Random Sampling Using Multi-auxiliary Variables

Srivastava and Jhajj [ 1 6] proposed a class of estimators for estimating population variance using multi auxiliary variables in simple random sampling and they utilized the means and variances of auxiliary variables. In this paper, we adapted this class and motivated by Searle [13], and we suggested more generalized class of estimators for estimating the population variance in simple random sampling. The expressions for the mean square error of proposed class have been derived in general form. Besides obtaining the minimized MSE of the proposed and adapted class, it is shown that the adapted classis the special case of the proposed class. Moreover, these theoretical findings are supported by an empirical study of original data.

加权局部方差优化初始簇中心的K-means算法

在传统K-means算法中,初始簇中心选择的随机性,导致聚类结果随不同的聚类中心而不同。因此出现了很多簇中心的选择方法,但是很多已有的簇中心选择算法,其聚类结果受参数调节的影响较大。针对这一问题,提出了一种新的初始簇中心选择算法,称为WLV-K-means(weighted local variance K-means)。该算法采用加权局部方差度量样本的密度,以更好地发现密度高的样本,并利用改进的最大最小法,启发式地选择簇初始中心点。在UCI数据集上的实验结果表明,WLV-K-means算法不仅能够取得较好的聚类结果,而且受参数变化的影响较小,有更加稳定的表现。
