Parameter values may vary with different inversion methods due to equifinality and differences in the estimating processes. Therefore, it is of great importance to evaluate the factors which may influence parameter estimates and to make a comparison of the current widely-used methods. In this study, three popular frequentist methods(SCE-UA, GA and PEST) and two Bayesian-based methods(GLUE and MCMC-AM) were applied to estimate nine cultivar parameters using the ORYZA(v3) Model. The results showed that there were substantial differences between the parameter estimates derived by the different methods, and they had strong effects on model predictions. The parameter estimates given by the frequentist methods were obviously sensitive to initial values, and the extent of the sensitivity varied with algorithms and objective functions. Among the frequentist methods, the SCE-UA was recommended due to the balance between stable convergence and high efficiency. All the parameter estimates remarkably improved the goodness of model-fit, and the parameter estimates derived from the Bayesian-based methods had relatively worse performance compared to the frequentist methods. In particular, the parameter estimates with the highest probability density of posterior distributions derived from the MCMC-AM method(MCMC_P_(max)) led to results equivalent to those derived from the frequentist methods, and even better in some situations. Additionally, model accuracy was greatly influenced by the values of phenology parameters in validation.展开更多

With these abilities, receivers can obtain signals with different power in ultra-wideband frequency space without information loss. However, conventional receiving scheme is hard to have large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously because of the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) dynamic range and sample rate limitations. In this paper, based on the modulated sampling and unlimited sampling, a novel receiving scheme is proposed to achieve large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving. Focusing on the single carrier signals, the proposed scheme only uses a single self-rest ADC(SR-ADC) with low sample rate, and it achieves large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously. Two receiving scenarios are considered, and they are cooperative strong signal receiving and non-cooperative strong/weak signals receiving. In the cooperative receiving scenario, an improved fast recovery method is proposed to obtain the modulated sampling output. In the non-cooperative receiving scenario, the strong and weak signals with different carrier frequencies are considered, and the signal processing method can recover and estimate each signal. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can realize large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously when the input signal-to-noise(SNR) ratio is high.展开更多

The Doppler information observed by radars reflects sea surface dynamics, to which ocean waves make important contributions. Low-incidence-angle real aperture radar(RAR)demonstrates great potential for independently observing vectorial Doppler information on the ocean surface. To systematically characterize and accurately estimate the wave-induced Doppler frequency shift(WVF) from lowincidence-angle RAR, this study conducts comprehensive influencing factor analysis and establishes sea-stateparameterized WVF models. First, a simulated WVF dataset is generated under a rotating low-incidence-angle RAR.The feature parameters of WVF are then determined by analysing contributing factors including wind waves, swells,and sea state parameters. Furthermore, two WVF models(WVF_Ku P9 with 9 inputs and WVF_Ku P4 with 4 inputs) are constructed by the Transformer encoder for different application scenarios. Both models achieve high accuracy for WVF estimation with root mean square errors(RMSE) of 1.874 Hz and 2.716 Hz, respectively. The reliability and superiority of the proposed models are validated through comparisons with the Ka DOP, which is a typical geophysical model function(GMF). The findings in this paper advance the understanding of WVF characteristics and generation mechanisms. The proposed estimation models can provide reliable estimates, offering critical references for lowincidence-angle RAR applications such as ocean surface current retrieval.展开更多

文摘Extreme-mass-ratio inspiral(EMRI)signals pose significant challenges to gravitational wave(GW)data analysis,mainly owing to their highly complex waveforms and high-dimensional parameter space.Given their extended timescales of months to years and low signal-to-noise ratios,detecting and analyzing EMRIs with confidence generally relies on long-term observations.Besides the length of data,parameter estimation is particularly challenging due to non-local parameter degeneracies,arising from multiple local maxima,as well as flat regions and ridges inherent in the likelihood function.These factors lead to exceptionally high time complexity for parameter analysis based on traditional matched filtering and random sampling methods.To address these challenges,the present study explores a machine learning approach to Bayesian posterior estimation of EMRI signals,leveraging the recently developed flow matching technique based on ordinary differential equation neural networks.To our knowledge,this is also the first instance of applying continuous normalizing flows to EMRI analysis.Our approach demonstrates an increase in computational efficiency by several orders of magnitude compared to the traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo(MCMC)methods,while preserving the unbiasedness of results.However,we note that the posterior distributions generated by FMPE may exhibit broader uncertainty ranges than those obtained through full Bayesian sampling,requiring subsequent refinement via methods such as MCMC.Notably,when searching from large priors,our model rapidly approaches the true values while MCMC struggles to converge to the global maximum.Our findings highlight that machine learning has the potential to efficiently handle the vast EMRI parameter space of up to seventeen dimensions,offering new perspectives for advancing space-based GW detection and GW astronomy.

文摘Deep Learning has been widely used to model soft sensors in modern industrial processes with nonlinear variables and uncertainty.Due to the outstanding ability for high-level feature extraction,stacked autoencoder(SAE)has been widely used to improve the model accuracy of soft sensors.However,with the increase of network layers,SAE may encounter serious information loss issues,which affect the modeling performance of soft sensors.Besides,there are typically very few labeled samples in the data set,which brings challenges to traditional neural networks to solve.In this paper,a multi-scale feature fused stacked autoencoder(MFF-SAE)is suggested for feature representation related to hierarchical output,where stacked autoencoder,mutual information(MI)and multi-scale feature fusion(MFF)strategies are integrated.Based on correlation analysis between output and input variables,critical hidden variables are extracted from the original variables in each autoencoder's input layer,which are correspondingly given varying weights.Besides,an integration strategy based on multi-scale feature fusion is adopted to mitigate the impact of information loss with the deepening of the network layers.Then,the MFF-SAE method is designed and stacked to form deep networks.Two practical industrial processes are utilized to evaluate the performance of MFF-SAE.Results from simulations indicate that in comparison to other cutting-edge techniques,the proposed method may considerably enhance the accuracy of soft sensor modeling,where the suggested method reduces the root mean square error(RMSE)by 71.8%,17.1%and 64.7%,15.1%,respectively.

文摘The constitutive model is essential for predicting the deformation and stability of rocksoil mass.The estimation of constitutive model parameters is a necessary and important task for the reliable characterization of mechanical behaviors.However,constitutive model parameters cannot be evaluated accurately with a limited amount of test data,resulting in uncertainty in the prediction of stress-strain curves.This paper proposes a Bayesian analysis framework to address this issue.It combines the Bayesian updating with the structural reliability and adaptive conditional sampling methods to assess the equation parameter of constitutive models.Based on the triaxial and ring shear tests on shear zone soils from the Huangtupo landslide,a statistical damage constitutive model and a critical state hypoplastic constitutive model were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.Moreover,the parameter uncertainty effects of the damage constitutive model on landslide stability were investigated.Results show that reasonable assessments of the constitutive model parameter can be well realized.The variability of stress-strain curves is strongly related to the model prediction performance.The estimation uncertainty of constitutive model parameters should not be ignored for the landslide stability calculation.Our study provides a reference for uncertainty analysis and parameter assessment of the constitutive model.

文摘Accurate motion prediction of free-tumbling satellites is crucial for the success of capture operations.This paper proposes a two-step method to estimate the motion states and parameters of such satellites,thereby enabling precise long-term motion prediction.This paper begins with a measurement of the system's degree of observability,quantified through the Empirical Observability Gramian(EOG).Based on this measurement,a batch processing algorithm is first employed to estimate the satellite's constant parameters offline.Subsequently,an online filtering algorithm,utilizing a minimal state set,fine-tunes these parameters and estimates the motion states in real time.This integrated approach significantly enhances both convergence properties and estimation accuracy,particularly for systems with poor observability.Utilizing the predicted long-term motion of the satellite,a composite evaluation metric is formulated to identify the optimal capture point and moment.The base pose of the space robot is then adjusted to ensure that the optimal capture point lies within the manipulator's dexterous workspace,which is determined through a pre-constructed capability map.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through both simulation and experimental results.
文摘Large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving abilities are significant for many receivers. With these abilities, receivers can obtain signals with different power in ultra-wideband frequency space without information loss. However, conventional receiving scheme is hard to have large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously because of the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) dynamic range and sample rate limitations. In this paper, based on the modulated sampling and unlimited sampling, a novel receiving scheme is proposed to achieve large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving. Focusing on the single carrier signals, the proposed scheme only uses a single self-rest ADC(SR-ADC) with low sample rate, and it achieves large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously. Two receiving scenarios are considered, and they are cooperative strong signal receiving and non-cooperative strong/weak signals receiving. In the cooperative receiving scenario, an improved fast recovery method is proposed to obtain the modulated sampling output. In the non-cooperative receiving scenario, the strong and weak signals with different carrier frequencies are considered, and the signal processing method can recover and estimate each signal. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can realize large dynamic range and ultra-wideband receiving simultaneously when the input signal-to-noise(SNR) ratio is high.

文摘This paper presents a method for estimating the parameters of DC-link capacitors in three-level NPC voltage source inverters(3L-NPC-VSI)used in grid-tied systems.The technique uses the signals generated by the intermodulation caused by the PWM strategy and converter topology interaction to estimate the capacitor parameters of the converter DC-link.It utilizes an observer-based structure consisting of a recursive noninteger sliding discrete Fourier transform(rnSDFT)and an RLS filter improved with a forgetting factor(oSDFT-RLS)to accurately estimate the capacitance and equivalent series resistance(ESR).Importantly,this method does not require additional sensors beyond those already installed in off-the-shelf 3L-NPC-VSI systems,ensuring its noninvasiveness.Furthermore,the oSDFTRLS estimates capacitor parameters in the time-frequency domain,enabling the tracking of capacitor degradation and predicting potential faults.Experimental results from the laboratory setup demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed condition monitoring method.

文摘The high-speed winding spindle employs a flexible support system incorporating rubber O-rings.By precisely configuring the structural parameters and the number of the O-rings,the spindle can stably surpass its critical speed points and maintain operational stability across the entire working speed range.However,the support stiffness and damping of rubber O-rings exhibit significant nonlinear frequency dependence.Conventional experimental methods for deriving equivalent stiffness and damping,based on the principle of the forced non-resonance method,require fabricating custom setups for each O-ring specification and conducting vibration tests at varying frequencies,resulting in low efficiency and high costs.This study proposes a hybrid simulation-experimental method for dynamic parameter identification.Firstly,the frequency-dependent dynamic parameters of a specific O-ring support system are experimentally obtained.Subsequently,a corresponding parametric finite element model is established to simulate and solve the equivalent elastic modulus and equivalent stiffness-damping coefficient of this O-ring support system.Ultimately,after iterative simulation,the simulated and experimental results achieve a 99.7%agreement.The parametric finite element model developed herein can directly simulate and inversely estimate frequency-dependent dynamic parameters for O-rings of different specifications but identical elastic modulus.

文摘The reuse of liquid propellant rocket engines has increased the difficulty of their control and estimation.State and parameter Moving Horizon Estimation(MHE)is an optimization-based strategy that provides the necessary information for model predictive control.Despite the many advantages of MHE,long computation time has limited its applications for system-level models of liquid propellant rocket engines.To address this issue,we propose an asynchronous MHE method called advanced-multi-step MHE with Noise Covariance Estimation(amsMHE-NCE).This method computes the MHE problem asynchronously to obtain the states and parameters and can be applied to multi-threaded computations.In the background,the state and covariance estimation optimization problems are computed using multiple sampling times.In real-time,sensitivity is used to quickly approximate state and parameter estimates.A covariance estimation method is developed using sensitivity to avoid redundant MHE problem calculations in case of sensor degradation during engine reuse.The amsMHE-NCE is validated through three cases based on the space shuttle main engine system-level model,and we demonstrate that it can provide more accurate real-time estimates of states and parameters compared to other commonly used estimation methods.

文摘The research on ocean dynamics information plays a crucial role in understanding ocean phenomena, assessing marine environmental impacts, and guiding engineering designs. The Doppler information observed by radars reflects sea surface dynamics, to which ocean waves make important contributions. Low-incidence-angle real aperture radar(RAR)demonstrates great potential for independently observing vectorial Doppler information on the ocean surface. To systematically characterize and accurately estimate the wave-induced Doppler frequency shift(WVF) from lowincidence-angle RAR, this study conducts comprehensive influencing factor analysis and establishes sea-stateparameterized WVF models. First, a simulated WVF dataset is generated under a rotating low-incidence-angle RAR.The feature parameters of WVF are then determined by analysing contributing factors including wind waves, swells,and sea state parameters. Furthermore, two WVF models(WVF_Ku P9 with 9 inputs and WVF_Ku P4 with 4 inputs) are constructed by the Transformer encoder for different application scenarios. Both models achieve high accuracy for WVF estimation with root mean square errors(RMSE) of 1.874 Hz and 2.716 Hz, respectively. The reliability and superiority of the proposed models are validated through comparisons with the Ka DOP, which is a typical geophysical model function(GMF). The findings in this paper advance the understanding of WVF characteristics and generation mechanisms. The proposed estimation models can provide reliable estimates, offering critical references for lowincidence-angle RAR applications such as ocean surface current retrieval.
