The probability distribution of packet loss is described as the Bernoulli distributed white sequences. By using the Lyapunov stability theory, the existing sufficient conditions of the controller are derived from solving a group of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, dropout-rate with uncertainty and unknown dropout-rate are also considered, which can greatly reduce the conservativeness of the controller. The designed robust model predictive control method not only efficiently eliminates the negative effects of the networked data loss in industrial cyber physical systems but also ensures the stability of closed-loop system. Two examples were provided to illustrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The algorithm is applied to control bioreactor system with a Laguerre-Wavelet Network（LWN）^（[3, 4]）model of the bioreactor.This is achieved by using the LWN model as a deviation model and by successively linearising the deviation model along the state trajectory. For reducing the approximation error and to improve the controller performance, symbolic derivation algorithm, viz.,automatic differentiation is employed. A cautionary note is also given on the fragility of the output feedback mixed H2/H∞ model predictive controller^（[4, 5]）due to its sensitivity to its own parametric changes.展开更多

For the variable selection problem, the penalized likelihood approach with a new combined penalty function which balances the SCAD and l<sub>2</sub> penalty is proposed. The adjusted EM algorithm is presented to get parameter estimates of RMR-SSMN models at a faster convergence rate. As simulations show, our mixture models are more robust than general FMR models and the new combined penalty function outperforms SCAD for variable selection. Finally, the proposed methodology and algorithm are applied to a real data set and achieve reasonable results.展开更多

China-Phys. Mech. Astron. 59,640303(2016)], many important properties of the RoC have been proved except for its boundedness and continuity. The aim of this paper is to find an upper bound for the RoC over all of empirical models and prove that the RoC is a continuous function on the set of all empirical models. Lastly, a relationship between the RoC and the extent of violating the noncontextual inequalities is established for an n-cycle contextual box. This relationship implies that the RoC can be used to quantify the contextuality of n-cycle boxes.展开更多

文摘Due to unforeseen climate change,complicated chronic diseases,and mutation of viruses’hospital administration’s top challenge is to know about the Length of stay(LOS)of different diseased patients in the hospitals.Hospital management does not exactly know when the existing patient leaves the hospital;this information could be crucial for hospital management.It could allow them to take more patients for admission.As a result,hospitals face many problems managing available resources and new patients in getting entries for their prompt treatment.Therefore,a robust model needs to be designed to help hospital administration predict patients’LOS to resolve these issues.For this purpose,a very large-sized data(more than 2.3 million patients’data)related to New-York Hospitals patients and containing information about a wide range of diseases including Bone-Marrow,Tuberculosis,Intestinal Transplant,Mental illness,Leukaemia,Spinal cord injury,Trauma,Rehabilitation,Kidney and Alcoholic Patients,HIV Patients,Malignant Breast disorder,Asthma,Respiratory distress syndrome,etc.have been analyzed to predict the LOS.We selected six Machine learning(ML)models named:Multiple linear regression(MLR),Lasso regression(LR),Ridge regression(RR),Decision tree regression(DTR),Extreme gradient boosting regression(XGBR),and Random Forest regression(RFR).The selected models’predictive performance was checked using R square andMean square error(MSE)as the performance evaluation criteria.Our results revealed the superior predictive performance of the RFRmodel,both in terms of RS score(92%)and MSE score(5),among all selected models.By Exploratory data analysis(EDA),we conclude that maximumstay was between 0 to 5 days with the meantime of each patient 5.3 days and more than 50 years old patients spent more days in the hospital.Based on the average LOS,results revealed that the patients with diagnoses related to birth complications spent more days in the hospital than other diseases.This finding could help predict the future length of hospital stay of new patients,which will help the hospital administration estimate and manage their resources efficiently.
文摘In this paper, the state-feedback Nash game based mixed H2/H∞ design^（[1, 2]）has been extended for output feedback case. The algorithm is applied to control bioreactor system with a Laguerre-Wavelet Network（LWN）^（[3, 4]）model of the bioreactor.This is achieved by using the LWN model as a deviation model and by successively linearising the deviation model along the state trajectory. For reducing the approximation error and to improve the controller performance, symbolic derivation algorithm, viz.,automatic differentiation is employed. A cautionary note is also given on the fragility of the output feedback mixed H2/H∞ model predictive controller^（[4, 5]）due to its sensitivity to its own parametric changes.
文摘In this paper, we propose a robust mixture regression model based on the skew scale mixtures of normal distributions (RMR-SSMN) which can accommodate asymmetric, heavy-tailed and contaminated data better. For the variable selection problem, the penalized likelihood approach with a new combined penalty function which balances the SCAD and l<sub>2</sub> penalty is proposed. The adjusted EM algorithm is presented to get parameter estimates of RMR-SSMN models at a faster convergence rate. As simulations show, our mixture models are more robust than general FMR models and the new combined penalty function outperforms SCAD for variable selection. Finally, the proposed methodology and algorithm are applied to a real data set and achieve reasonable results.

文摘Flipover,an enhanced dropout technique,is introduced to improve the robustness of artificial neural networks.In contrast to dropout,which involves randomly removing certain neurons and their connections,flipover randomly selects neurons and reverts their outputs using a negative multiplier during training.This approach offers stronger regularization than conventional dropout,refining model performance by(1)mitigating overfitting,matching or even exceeding the efficacy of dropout;(2)amplifying robustness to noise;and(3)enhancing resilience against adversarial attacks.Extensive experiments across various neural networks affirm the effectiveness of flipover in deep learning.
文摘To solve the attitude trajectory tracking problem for hypersonic vehicles in the presence of system constraints and unknown disturbances,this paper designed a nonlinear robust model predictive control(RMPC)scheme,which can produce near-optimal tracking commands.Unlike the existing designs,the proposed scheme is less conservative and successfully prioritizes the solution optimality.The established RMPC follows a dualloop structure.Specifically,in the outer feedback loop,the reference attitude angle profiles are optimally tracked,while in the inner feedback loop,the control moment commands are produced by optimally tracking the desired angular rate trajectories.Besides,an adaptive disturbance observer(ADO)is designed and embedded in the inner and outer RMPC controllers to alleviate the negative effects caused by unknown external disturbances.The recursive feasibility of the optimization process,together with the input-to-state stability of the proposed RMPC,is theoretically guaranteed by introducing a tightened control constraint and terminal region.The derived property reveals that our proposal can steer the tracking error within a small region of convergence.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by performing simulation studies.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter presents a novel approach to the data-driven control of unknown nonlinear systems.By leveraging online sparse identification based on the Koopman operator,a high-dimensional linear system model approximating the actual system is obtained online.The upper bound of the discrepancy between the identified model and the actual system is estimated using real-time prediction error,which is then utilized in the design of a tube-based robust model predictive controller.The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulation.

文摘Recently, the robustness of contextuality(RoC) of an empirical model was discussed in [Sci. China-Phys. Mech. Astron. 59,640303(2016)], many important properties of the RoC have been proved except for its boundedness and continuity. The aim of this paper is to find an upper bound for the RoC over all of empirical models and prove that the RoC is a continuous function on the set of all empirical models. Lastly, a relationship between the RoC and the extent of violating the noncontextual inequalities is established for an n-cycle contextual box. This relationship implies that the RoC can be used to quantify the contextuality of n-cycle boxes.

文摘Quantization has emerged as an essential technique for deploying deep neural networks(DNNs)on devices with limited resources.However,quantized models exhibit vulnerabilities when exposed to various types of noise in real-world applications.Despite the importance of evaluating the impact of quantization on robustness,existing research on this topic is limited and often disregards established principles of robustness evaluation,resulting in incomplete and inconclusivefindings.To address this gap,we thoroughly evaluated the robustness of quantized models against various types of noise(adversarial attacks,natural corruption,and systematic noise)on ImageNet.The comprehensive evaluation results empirically provide valuable insights into the robustness of quantized models in various scenarios.For example:1)quantized models exhibit higher adversarial robustness than theirfloating-point counterparts,but are more vulnerable to natural corruption and systematic noise;2)in general,increasing the quantization bit-width results in a decrease in adversarial robustness,an increase in natural robustness,and an increase in systematic robustness;3)among corruption methods,impulse noise and glass blur are the most harmful to quantized models,while brightness has the least impact;4)among different types of systematic noise,the nearest neighbor interpolation has the highest impact,while bilinear interpolation,cubic interpolation,and area interpolation are the three least harmful.Our research contributes to advancing the robust quantization of models and their deployment in real-world scenarios.
