The results indicate that a direct application of the Central Limit Theorem yields errors too large to be acceptable;instead, we recommend using a technique based directly on the natural logarithm of the likelihood function, verifying its substantially higher accuracy. Our study is then extended to the case of estimating only a subset of a model’s parameters, when the remaining ones (called nuisance) are of no interest to us.展开更多

The auto-regressive（AR） model of group pulse current flowing across the cathode and the anode are created under different situations with different processing parameters and inter-electrode gap size. The AR model based on the current signals indicates that the order of the AR model is obviously different relating to the different processing conditions and the inter-electrode gap size; Moreover, it is different about the stability of the dynamic system, i.e. the white noise response of the Green＇s function of the dynamic system is diverse. In addition, power spectrum method is used in the analysis of the dynamic time series about the current signals with different inter-electrode gap size, the results show that there exists a strongest power spectrum peak, characteristic power spectrum（CPS）, to the current signals related to the different inter-electrode gap size in the range of 0～5 kHz. Therefore, the CPS of current signals can implement the identification of the inter-electrode gap.展开更多

This study aims to utilize the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to forecast solar irradiance levels and weather characteristics in the San Francisco Bay Area. The results demonstrate a correlation between predicted and actual solar irradiance, indicating the effectiveness of the VAR model for this task. However, the model may not be sufficient for this region due to the requirement of additional weather features to reduce disparities between predictions and actual observations. Additionally, the current lag order in the model is relatively low, limiting its ability to capture all relevant information from past observations. As a result, the model’s forecasting capability is limited to short-term horizons, with a maximum horizon of four hours.展开更多

Surrogate data ap-proach is the state of the art technique for nonlinear spectral analysis. In this paper, by developing autoregressive (AR) models on short segment of the EEG is described as a superposition of harmonic oscillating with damping and frequency in time. Sleep spindle events are detected, whenever the damping of one or more frequencies falls below a prede-fined threshold. Based on a surrogate data, a method was proposed to test the hypothesis that the original data were generated by a linear Gaussian process. This method was tested on human sleep EEG signal. The algorithm work well for the detection of sleep spindles and in addition the analysis reveals the alpha and beta band activities in EEG. The rigorous statistical framework proves essential in establishing these results.展开更多

In addition, as an alternative approach, the griddy Gibbs sampler is proposed by [1] and utilized by [2]. This paper proposes an acceptance-rejection Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a third approach, and compares these three algorithms through Monte Carlo experiments. The experimental results show that the griddy Gibbs sampler is the most efficient algorithm among the algorithms whether the number of observations is small or not in terms of the computation time and the inefficiency factors. Moreover, it seems to work well when the size of grid is 100.展开更多

Bangladesh uses the micro economic variables, such as stock trade, invested stock capital, stock volume, current market value, and DSE general indexes which have the direct impact on DSE prices. The data were collected for the period from June 2004 to July 2013 as the basis on daily scale. But to get the maximum explorative information and reduction of volatility, the data have been transformed to the monthly scale. The outliers and extreme values of the study variables are detected through box and whisker plot. To detect the unit root property of the study variables, various unit root tests have been applied. The forecast performance of the different VAR models is compared to have the minimum residual. Moreover, the dynamics of this financial market is analyzed through Granger causality and impulse response analysis.展开更多

It is shown that the extraction of ENF components from audio recordings is realizable by applying a parametric approach based on an AR （autoregressive） model. The proposed method is compared to the existing STFT （short-time Fourier transform） based ENF extraction method. Experimental results from recorded electrical grid signals and recorded audio signals show that the proposed approach can improve the time resolution in the extracted ENF fluctuations and improve the detection of tampering with short alterations in longer audio recordings.展开更多

文摘Consider the model Yt = βYt-1＋g（Yt-2）＋εt for 3 〈 t 〈 T. Hereg is anunknown function, β is an unknown parameter, εt are i.i.d, random errors with mean 0 andvariance σ2 and the fourth moment α4, and α4 are independent of Y8 for all t ≥ 3 and s = 1, 2.Pseudo-LS estimators σ, σ2T α4τ and D2T of σ^2,α4 and Var（ε2↑3） are respectively constructedbased on piecewise polynomial approximator of g. The weak consistency of α4T and D2T are proved. The asymptotic normality of σ2T is given, i.e., √T（σ2T -σ^2）/DT converges indistribution to N（0, 1）. The result can be used to establish large sample interval estimatesof σ^2 or to make large sample tests for σ^2.
文摘A random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm has been widely used in sampling the parameter of spatial interaction in spatial autoregressive model from a Bayesian point of view. In addition, as an alternative approach, the griddy Gibbs sampler is proposed by [1] and utilized by [2]. This paper proposes an acceptance-rejection Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a third approach, and compares these three algorithms through Monte Carlo experiments. The experimental results show that the griddy Gibbs sampler is the most efficient algorithm among the algorithms whether the number of observations is small or not in terms of the computation time and the inefficiency factors. Moreover, it seems to work well when the size of grid is 100.
文摘In this paper, vector autoregressive （VAR） models have been recognized for the selected indicators of Dhaka stock exchange （DSE）. Bangladesh uses the micro economic variables, such as stock trade, invested stock capital, stock volume, current market value, and DSE general indexes which have the direct impact on DSE prices. The data were collected for the period from June 2004 to July 2013 as the basis on daily scale. But to get the maximum explorative information and reduction of volatility, the data have been transformed to the monthly scale. The outliers and extreme values of the study variables are detected through box and whisker plot. To detect the unit root property of the study variables, various unit root tests have been applied. The forecast performance of the different VAR models is compared to have the minimum residual. Moreover, the dynamics of this financial market is analyzed through Granger causality and impulse response analysis.
文摘This paper proposes a new method for extracting ENF （electric network frequency） fluctuations from digital audio recordings for the purpose of forensic authentication. It is shown that the extraction of ENF components from audio recordings is realizable by applying a parametric approach based on an AR （autoregressive） model. The proposed method is compared to the existing STFT （short-time Fourier transform） based ENF extraction method. Experimental results from recorded electrical grid signals and recorded audio signals show that the proposed approach can improve the time resolution in the extracted ENF fluctuations and improve the detection of tampering with short alterations in longer audio recordings.
