Integrating integer programming and probabilistic deduction graphs for probabilistic reasoning

Optimal solutions of several variants of the probabilistic reasoning problem were found by a new technique that integrates integer programming and probabilistic deduction graphs (PDG). PDGs are extended from deduction graphs of the and-type via normal deduction graphs. The foregoing variants to be solved can involve multiple hypotheses and multiple evidences where the former is given and the latter is unknown and being found or vice versa. The relationship among these hypotheses and evidences with possible intermediaries is represented by a causal graph. The proposed method can handle a large causal graph of any type and find an optimal solution by invoking a linear integer programming package. In addition, formulating the reasoning problem to fit integer programming takes a polynomial time. H.-L. Li was visiting the Department of Computer Sciences, University of North Texas in 1988–1989.

最大似然反褶积软件包的研制与应用

本文简明地介绍最大似然反褶积的基本原理、软件包的研制过程和应用效果。 最大似然反褶积是美国80年代研究出的一种地震资料处理新方法,它有效地解决了传统褶积模型中无法进行信噪分离的矛盾。经松辽盆地实践证明,它可以求出高分辨率和高信噪比的反射系数、最小相位化子波、合成记录、相对层速度和绝对层速度。与国外的VELOG和SEISLOG处理软件的处理结果相比,分辨率和信噪比均有很大的提高。 在软件包的研制过程中,我们主要解决了数学模型复杂和运算速度慢的问题,使最大似然反褶积在CYBER-855S计算机上成为可实用的数字处理技术。 该项技术在大庆油田朝阳沟地区进行了初步应用,结果表明,对薄层地震响应的分辨能力有明显的提高。与井岩性柱状图对比,6m以上的砂层都可以分辨出来,并且对应得比较准确。有些3m的薄层也可以找到。 该软件包的研制成功并在地震资料处理中得到应用,这在国内是首创。

STATIONARY AND NON-STATIONARY STATE SPACE MODELS

Abstract. The concepts of time invariance, stationarity, non-stationarity and immemorial time are considered for state space models (SSMs). Necessary and sufficient conditions for stationarity are given and connected with standard conditions. Expressions are given for the unconditional mean and covariance matrix of the state of a time-immemorial SSM. Application of the results is made to a variety of theoretical and empirical models and the initialization of the Kalman filter in the non-stationary case and for the ARIMA ( p, d, q ) model.     

Structural reliability optimization using an efficient safety index calculation procedure

The objective of this paper is to conduct reliability-based structural optimization in a multidisciplinary environment. An efficient reliability analysis is developed by expanding the limit functions in terms of intermediate design variables. The design constraints are approximated using multivariate splines in searching for the optimum. The reduction in computational cost realized in safety index calculation and optimization are demonstrated through several structural problems. This paper presents safety index computation, analytical sensitivity analysis of reliability constraints and optimization using truss, frame and plate examples.     

Decomposition of Time Series Dynamic Linear Models

This paper derives the admissible decompositions for a time series dynamic linear model, assuming only that the model is observable. The decompositions depend on factorizations of the characteristic polynomial of the state evolution matrix G into relatively prime factors. This generalizes the method of West (1997 ) which considers one decomposition in the particular case where G is diagonalizable. Conditions are derived for a decomposition to be independent. These results show that no autoregressive process of order d has an independent decomposition for any integer d . Two illustrations of this procedure are discussed in detail.     

Dynamics of Balancing Space and Time in Memory: Tau and Kappa Effects Revisited.

In 3 experiments, the authors studied the organization of spatiotemporal information in memory. Stimuli consisted of configurations of dots, presented sequentially. The stimuli were either proportional, with interdot distances corresponding to interdot durations, or not proportional, with interdol distances not corresponding to interdot durations. After a learning phase, participants reproduced the spatial (Experiment 1), temporal (Experiment 2), or spatial and temporal (Experiment 3) characteristics of the target 60 times in succession. In the nonproportional conditions, effects of variable interdot durations or distances on the reproduction of, respectively, constant distances (tau effect) or durations (kappa effect) were observed, whereas no such effects were observed when variable distances or durations were to be produced. Tau and kappa effects influenced the accuracy but not the variability of responses. The results are discussed in light of the distinction between properties of the stabilized mental image and the process of stabilization. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
