Several count data models have been proposed by researchers but the problem of over-dispersion still remains unresolved, more so in the context of change point analysis. This study develops a likelihood-based algorithm that detects and estimates multiple change points in a set of count data assumed to follow the Negative Binomial distribution. Discrete change point procedures discussed in literature work well for equi-dispersed data. The new algorithm produces reliable estimates of change points in cases of both equi-dispersed and over-dispersed count data;hence its advantage over other count data change point techniques. The Negative Binomial Multiple Change Point Algorithm was tested using simulated data for different sample sizes and varying positions of change. Changes in the distribution parameters were detected and estimated by conducting a likelihood ratio test on several partitions of data obtained through step-wise recursive binary segmentation. Critical values for the likelihood ratio test were developed and used to check for significance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the change points. The change point algorithm was found to work best for large datasets, though it also works well for small and medium-sized datasets with little to no error in the location of change points. The algorithm correctly detects changes when present and fails to detect changes when change is absent in actual sense. Power analysis of the likelihood ratio test for change was performed through Monte-Carlo simulation in the single change point setting. Sensitivity analysis of the test power showed that likelihood ratio test is the most powerful when the simulated change points are located mid-way through the sample data as opposed to when changes were located in the periphery. Further, the test is more powerful when the change was located three-quarter-way through the sample data compared to when the change point is closer (quarter-way) to the first observation.展开更多

Firstly, complicated sea clutter is modeled as compound Gaussian process, and a target is modeled as some scatterers with Gaussian reflectivity. Secondly, every dwell duration of radar is divided into several sub-dwells. Regular linear frequency modulated pulses are transmitted at Sub-dwell 1, and the received signal at this sub-dwell is used to estimate clutter covariance matrices and pre-detection. Estimated matrices are updated at every following sub-dwell by multiple particle filtering to cope with fast-varying clutter scenes of SBR. Furthermore, waveform of every following sub-dwell is designed adaptively according to mean square optimization technique. Finally, principal component analysis and generalized likelihood ratio test is used for mitigation of colored interference and property of constant false alarm rate, respectively. Simulation results show that, considering configuration of SBR and condition of complicated clutter, 9 dB is reduced for SCR which reliable detection requires by this target detection approach. Therefore, the work in this paper can markedly improve radar detection performance for weak targets.展开更多

In this study, we used six generalized linear models to examine the relationship between the occurrence of lightning-induced forest fires and meteorological factors in the Northern Daxing＇an Mountains of China. The six models included Poisson, negative binomial （NB）, zero- inflated Poisson （ZIP）, zero-inflated negative binomial （ZINB）, Poisson hurdle （PH）, and negative binomial hurdle （NBH） models. Goodness-of-fit was compared and tested among the six models using Akaike information criterion （AIC）, sum of squared errors, likelihood ratio test, and Vuong test. The predictive performance of the models was assessed and compared using independent validation data by the data-splitting method. Based on the model AIC, the ZINB model best fitted the fire occurrence data, followed by （in order of smaller AIC） NBH, ZIP, NB, PH, and Poisson models. The ZINB model was also best for pre- dicting either zero counts or positive counts （〉1）. The two Hurdle models （PH and NBH） were better than ZIP, Poisson, and NB models for predicting positive counts, but worse than these three models for predicting zero counts. Thus, the ZINB model was the first choice for modeling the occurrence of lightning-induced forest fires in this study, which implied that the excessive zero counts of lightning- induced fires came from both structure and sampling zeros.展开更多

Sullivan and woodall pointed out the test statistic lrt(n1, n2) is approximately distributed as x2(2) as the sample size n,n1 and n2 are very large, and the value of n1 = 2,3,..., n - 2 and that of n2 = n - n1. So it is inevitable that n1 or n2 is not large. In this paper the limit distribution of lrt(n1, n2) for fixed n1 or n2 is figured out, and the exactly analytic formulae for evaluating the expectation and the variance of the limit distribution are also obtained. In addition, the properties of the standardized likelihood ratio statistic slr(n1, n) are discussed in this paper. Although slr(n1, n) contains the most important information, slr(i, n)(i≠n1) also contains lots of information. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart can obtain more information in this condition. So we propose two CUSUM control charts based on the likelihood ratio statistics for the preliminary analysis on the individual observations. One focuses on detecting the shifts in location in the historical data and the other is more general in detecting a shift in either the location and the scale or both. Moreover, the simulated results show that the proposed two control charts are, respectively, superior to their competitors not only in the detection of the sustained shifts but also in the detection of some other out-of-control situations considered in this paper.展开更多

With a proposed detection scheme, two generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detectors are derived respectively for aircraft wake vortices with time-varying and time-invariant Doppler spectra. Then the analytical expressions for detection and false alarm probabilities of the detectors are derived and three factors are investigated which mainly influence the detection performance, i.e., the Doppler extension and uncertainty of the aircraft wake vortex, and the number of the detection cells. The results indicate that, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss induced by Doppler extension is generally several decibels. The SNR loss due to Doppler uncertainty is approximately proportional to the logarithm of the number of spectrum lines in the uncertain Doppler spectrum intervals. For a large number of detection cells, the SNR gain is approximately proportional to the square root of the number of the detection cells.展开更多

After defining the multipath distance difference (MDD), the multipath received signal model with four paths is built systematically. Both the variance and correlation coefficient of multipath scattering coefficient with MDD are analyzed, which indicates that the multipath variable can decrease the detection performance by reducing the echo power. By making use of the likelihood ratio test (LRT), a new method based on weighted entropy is introduced to use the positive multipath echo power and suppress the negative echo power, which results in better performance. Simulation results show that, compared with non-multipath environment or other recently developed methods, the proposed method can achieve detection performance improvement with the increase of sensors.展开更多

As the resolution of SAR images ...As traditional two-parameter constant false alarm rate （CFAR） target detec-tion algorithms in SAR images ignore target distribution, their performances are not the best or near best. As the resolution of SAR images increases, small targets present more pixels in SAR images. So the target distribution is of much significance. Distribution-based CFAR detection algorithm is presented. We unite the pixels around the test cell, and estimate the distribution of test cell by them. Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test （GLRT） is used to deduce the detectors. The performance of the distribution-based CFAR （DBCFAR） detectors is analyzed theoretically. False alarms of DBCFAR detection are fewer than those of CFAR at the same detection rate. Finally experiments are done and the results show the performance of DBCFAR is out of conventional CFAR. False alarms of DBCFAR detection are concentrated while those of CFAR detection are dispersive.展开更多

The gen-eral MIMO model, with widely separated sub-arrays and co-located antennas at each sub-array, is adopted. Firstly, the generalized likelihood ratio test （GLRT） with known covariance matrix is ob-tained, and then the Rao and Wald detectors are devised, which have proved that the Rao and Wald test coincide with GLRT detec-tor. To make the detectors fully adaptive, the secondary data with signal-free will be collected to estimate the covariance. The per-formance of the proposed detector is analyzed, however, it is just ancillary. A thorough performance assessment by several numer-ical examples is also given, which has considered the sense with co-located antennas configure of transmitters and receivers array. The results show that the performance the proposed adaptive de-tector is better than LJ-GLRT, and the loss can be acceptable in comparison to their non-adaptive counterparts.展开更多
