Piecewise Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Risk Aversion Case in First-Price Sealed-Bid Auction

In the literature, more and more clues show that the bidders indeed tend to risk averse. But as a good structure estimation procedure in first-price sealed-bid auctions, the traditional PPMLE (Piecewise Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimation) approach is only applicable to the risk neutrality case. This study generalizes this approach to the risk aversion case, and obtains a simple estimation procedure for the Pareto family of private costs. In the procedure, the estimation order of distribution parameters of private costs is not important, which is different from the traditional PPMLE method. Though there is no unique estimator for θ ₁ and γ, some guidance is given for real-world applications on the basis of our Monte Carlo simulation experiments. What’s more, this procedure can be reduced further, if one is only interested in estimating the private costs. Extensive simulation experimental results indicate that our approach outperforms or matches at least the traditional one in the case of risk neutrality, and is applicable to the risk aversion case.

Evaluation of Landsat 8 OLI imagery for unsupervised inland water extraction

The successful launch of the Landsat 8 satellite continues the Earth observation of the Landsat series, which has been taking place for nearly 40 years. With the increase in the band number and the improved spectral range compared with the previous Landsat imagery, it will be possible to expand the application of the new Landsat 8 imagery. The purpose of this study is to explore water extraction based on the new Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) imagery. According to the specific inland water conditions (clear water, turbid water, and eutrophic water), a number of highly adaptable water indices are assessed for water extraction using Landsat OLI imagery. The results show that clear water is the easiest to extract among the different types of waterbodies, with the highest average accuracy of 97%. The highest-accuracy methods are the automated water extraction index for shadow pixels (AWEI_sh), the normalized difference water index using bands 4 and 7 (NDWI₄₇), and the normalized difference water index using bands 3 and 7 (NDWI₃₇), with accuracies of 98.55%, 95.50%, and 96.61%, corresponding to clear water, turbid water, and eutrophic water, respectively. Through the analysis of the different methods for optimal band selection, the seventh band OLI7 (shortwave infrared 2, SWIR-2) of Landsat OLI shows the best performance in water identification. When applying the water indices to water extraction, Otsu’s algorithm has been used to automatically select the water threshold. Using extensive experiments with Otsu’s algorithm and a manual method, it was found that Otsu’s algorithm can replace manual selection and has the ability to select an accurate threshold for water extraction.     

分布式光纤振动传感系统的多级零频点定位研究

为了减少直线结构Sagnac分布式光纤传感系统的定位误差,提出一种多级零频点的优化方法,通过分析直线结构Sagnac分布式光纤传感定位原理,确定固定的采样速率下离散化是造成定位误差大的原因.并分析得出振动信号频域曲线会周期出现多个零频点,进而对振动定位的多级零频点优化方法进行了理论推导,阐明高倍零频点下的定位误差会有效减小.通过实验验证表明,在总长为11.769 km的传感光纤上,优化后的定位方法在不改变采样速率下可保证定位误差提升到±20 m范围内,可以基本满足系统对外界振动信号进行精确定位的要求.
