Bayesian classifiers, a popular supervised learning method, rely on accurate probability density estimation for classifying continuous datasets. However, achieving precise density estimation with datasets containing outliers poses a significant challenge. This paper introduces a Bayesian classifier that utilizes optimized robust kernel density estimation to address this issue. Our proposed method enhances the accuracy of probability density distribution estimation by mitigating the impact of outliers on the training sample’s estimated distribution. Unlike the conventional kernel density estimator, our robust estimator can be seen as a weighted kernel mapping summary for each sample. This kernel mapping performs the inner product in the Hilbert space, allowing the kernel density estimation to be considered the average of the samples’ mapping in the Hilbert space using a reproducing kernel. M-estimation techniques are used to obtain accurate mean values and solve the weights. Meanwhile, complete cross-validation is used as the objective function to search for the optimal bandwidth, which impacts the estimator. The Harris Hawks Optimisation optimizes the objective function to improve the estimation accuracy. The experimental results show that it outperforms other optimization algorithms regarding convergence speed and objective function value during the bandwidth search. The optimal robust kernel density estimator achieves better fitness performance than the traditional kernel density estimator when the training data contains outliers. The Naïve Bayesian with optimal robust kernel density estimation improves the generalization in the classification with outliers.展开更多

Decision making is a challenging problem because of input uncertainty and only small samples can be used due to the high costs of experimental measurements. However, model validation provides more confidence for decision makers when improving prediction accuracy at the same time. The confidence level method is introduced and the optimum sample variance is determined using a new method in kernel density estimation to increase the credibility of model validation. As a numerical example, the static frame model validation challenge problem presented by Sandia National Laboratories has been chosen. The optimum bandwidth is selected in kernel density estimation in order to build the probability model based on the calibration data. The model assessment is achieved using validation and accreditation experimental data respectively based on the probability model. Finally, the target structure prediction is performed using validated model, which are consistent with the results obtained by other researchers. The results demonstrate that the method using the improved confidence level and kernel density estimation is an effective approach to solve the model validation problem with small samples.展开更多

The state variables are decomposed into linear and non-linear parts. The particle filter is adopted to predict and estimate the nonlinear states of multi-target after dimensionality reduction, while the Kalman filter is applied to estimate the linear parts under linear Gaussian condition. Embedding the information of the linear states into the estimated nonlinear states helps to reduce the estimating variance and improve the accuracy of target number estimation. The meanshift kernel density estimation, being of the inherent nature of searching peak value via an adaptive gradient ascent iteration, is introduced to cluster particles and extract target states, which is independent of the target number and can converge to the local peak position of the PHD distribution while avoiding the errors due to the inaccuracy in modeling and parameters estimation. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain higher tracking accuracy when using fewer sampling particles and is of lower computational complexity compared with the PF-PHD.展开更多

However, accurate measurement of spawning conditions across both spatial and temporal dimensions poses significant challenges. We conducted a fourteen-year field study below the Gezhouba Dam, the main spawning ground for the Chinese sturgeon, using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) method and Catch per Unit of Effort (CPUE) to refine knowledge on egg attachment areas relative to previous assessments. In addition, our analysis documented shifts in spawning locations within these four areas over the past fourteen years, revealing a worrying trend of decreasing spawning magnitude. This approach not only enabled the incorporation of the density distribution of eggs into the assessment of spawning magnitude trends, but also underscored the potential of the KDE as a framework for identifying egg attachment areas and estimating spawning magnitude trends. Our results provide valuable insights into spawning degradation of Chinese sturgeon and inform conservation strategies to protect their fragile spawning grounds.展开更多

But the attention to the regional differences in the development level of digital construction management in China from the industrial level is still relatively scarce. In this paper, the combination assignment method, Dagum’s Gini coefficient and Kernel density estimation method, are used to explore the regional differences and their dynamic evolution trends of China’s digital construction management development level. The study finds that the overall development level in China’s construction industry is on the rise, but it is still at a relatively low level. The overall Gini coefficient has increased, which is mainly due to uneven development between regions. There are large development differences between the eastern region and the other three regions. The interregional Gini coefficients for the Central-Northeastern and Central-Western regions are all growing at a higher rate.展开更多

文摘Mechanical properties are critical to the quality of hot-rolled steel pipe products.Accurately understanding the relationship between rolling parameters and mechanical properties is crucial for effective prediction and control.To address this,an industrial big data platform was developed to collect and process multi-source heterogeneous data from the entire production process,providing a complete dataset for mechanical property prediction.The adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation(ABKDE)method was proposed to adjust bandwidth dynamically based on data density.Combining long short-term memory neural networks with ABKDE offers robust prediction interval capabilities for mechanical properties.The proposed method was deployed in a large-scale steel plant,which demonstrated superior prediction interval performance compared to lower upper bound estimation,mean variance estimation,and extreme learning machine-adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation,achieving a prediction interval normalized average width of 0.37,a prediction interval coverage probability of 0.94,and the lowest coverage width-based criterion of 1.35.Notably,shapley additive explanations-based explanations significantly improved the proposed model’s credibility by providing a clear analysis of feature impacts.

文摘As the existing heating load forecasting methods are almostly point forecasting,an interval forecasting approach based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) and interval estimation of relative error is proposed in this paper.The forecasting output can be defined as energy saving control setting value of heating supply substation;meanwhile,it can also provide a practical basis for heating dispatching and peak load regulating operation.By means of the proposed approach,SVR model is used to point forecasting and the error interval can be gained by using nonparametric kernel estimation to the forecast error,which avoid the distributional assumptions.Combining the point forecasting results and error interval,the forecast confidence interval is obtained.Finally,the proposed model is performed through simulations by applying it to the data from a heating supply network in Harbin,and the results show that the method can meet the demands of energy saving control and heating dispatching.
文摘Most financial signals show time dependency that,combined with noisy and extreme events,poses serious problems in the parameter estimations of statistical models.Moreover,when addressing asset pricing,portfolio selection,and investment strategies,accurate estimates of the relationship among assets are as necessary as are delicate in a time-dependent context.In this regard,fundamental tools that increasingly attract research interests are precision matrix and graphical models,which are able to obtain insights into the joint evolution of financial quantities.In this paper,we present a robust divergence estimator for a time-varying precision matrix that can manage both the extreme events and time-dependency that affect financial time series.Furthermore,we provide an algorithm to handle parameter estimations that uses the“maximization–minimization”approach.We apply the methodology to synthetic data to test its performances.Then,we consider the cryptocurrency market as a real data application,given its remarkable suitability for the proposed method because of its volatile and unregulated nature.

文摘Identifying precise egg attachment areas and tracking trends of spawning magnitude (total amount of spawned eggs) are critical for accurate habitat assessment and effective conservation efforts, especially for lithophilic spawning fishes. However, accurate measurement of spawning conditions across both spatial and temporal dimensions poses significant challenges. We conducted a fourteen-year field study below the Gezhouba Dam, the main spawning ground for the Chinese sturgeon, using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) method and Catch per Unit of Effort (CPUE) to refine knowledge on egg attachment areas relative to previous assessments. In addition, our analysis documented shifts in spawning locations within these four areas over the past fourteen years, revealing a worrying trend of decreasing spawning magnitude. This approach not only enabled the incorporation of the density distribution of eggs into the assessment of spawning magnitude trends, but also underscored the potential of the KDE as a framework for identifying egg attachment areas and estimating spawning magnitude trends. Our results provide valuable insights into spawning degradation of Chinese sturgeon and inform conservation strategies to protect their fragile spawning grounds.
文摘The development of digital construction management is an important initiative to promote the digital transformation of the construction industry. But the attention to the regional differences in the development level of digital construction management in China from the industrial level is still relatively scarce. In this paper, the combination assignment method, Dagum’s Gini coefficient and Kernel density estimation method, are used to explore the regional differences and their dynamic evolution trends of China’s digital construction management development level. The study finds that the overall development level in China’s construction industry is on the rise, but it is still at a relatively low level. The overall Gini coefficient has increased, which is mainly due to uneven development between regions. There are large development differences between the eastern region and the other three regions. The interregional Gini coefficients for the Central-Northeastern and Central-Western regions are all growing at a higher rate.

文摘Urban air pollution has brought great troubles to physical and mental health,economic development,environmental protection,and other aspects.Predicting the changes and trends of air pollution can provide a scientific basis for governance and prevention efforts.In this paper,we propose an interval prediction method that considers the spatio-temporal characteristic information of PM_(2.5)signals from multiple stations.K-nearest neighbor(KNN)algorithm interpolates the lost signals in the process of collection,transmission,and storage to ensure the continuity of data.Graph generative network(GGN)is used to process time-series meteorological data with complex structures.The graph U-Nets framework is introduced into the GGN model to enhance its controllability to the graph generation process,which is beneficial to improve the efficiency and robustness of the model.In addition,sparse Bayesian regression is incorporated to improve the dimensional disaster defect of traditional kernel density estimation(KDE)interval prediction.With the support of sparse strategy,sparse Bayesian regression kernel density estimation(SBR-KDE)is very efficient in processing high-dimensional large-scale data.The PM_(2.5)data of spring,summer,autumn,and winter from 34 air quality monitoring sites in Beijing verified the accuracy,generalization,and superiority of the proposed model in interval prediction.
