Two Tales of Return Predictability: The Case of Asia–Pacific Equity Markets

If past prices can successfully predict future price movements, it would contradict the notion of weak‐form market efficiency. Return predictability can be assessed via a variety of random walk statistical tests or via the application of mechanical trading rules. Findings of return predictability and state of market efficiency are compared by applying a battery of popular random walk statistical tests and a large set of mechanical trading rules to a family of equity indexes in Asia–Pacific equity markets over a 20‐year period of time. Inferences drawn from different random walk based econometric tests of market efficiency often disagree among themselves and tend to exaggerate the extent of predictability in returns. Testing of return predictability via a set of mechanical trading rules allows one to account for a possible data snooping bias, error measurements due to nonsynchronous trading and market frictions such as trading costs. Persistent predictability of returns that cannot be explained by the combination of data snooping bias, nonsynchronicity bias and moderate level of transaction costs is found in just two emerging equity markets in the region.

Semantic image annotation based on GMM and random walk model

Automatic image annotation has been an active topic of research in computer vision and patternrecognition for decades.A two stage automatic image annotation method based on Gaussian mixturemodel (GMM) and random walk model (abbreviated as GMM-RW) is presented.To start with,GMM fitted by the rival penalized expectation maximization (RPEM) algorithm is employed to estimatethe posterior probabilities of each annotation keyword.Subsequently, a random walk processover the constructed label similarity graph is implemented to further mine the potential correlations ofthe candidate annotations so as to capture the refining results, which plays a crucial role in semanticbased image retrieval.The contributions exhibited in this work are multifold.First, GMM is exploitedto capture the initial semantic annotations, especially the RPEM algorithm is utilized to train themodel that can determine the number of components in GMM automatically.Second, a label similaritygraph is constructed by a weighted linear combination of label similarity and visual similarity ofimages associated with the corresponding labels, which is able to avoid the phenomena of polysemyand synonym efficiently during the image annotation process.Third, the random walk is implementedover the constructed label graph to further refine the candidate set of annotations generated byGMM.Conducted experiments on the standard Corel5k demonstrate that GMM-RW is significantlymore effective than several state-of-the-arts regarding their effectiveness and efficiency in the task of automatic image annotation.

Ho∞-based fault detection for nonlinear networked systems with random packet dropout and probabilistic interval delay

The fault detection problem for the nonlinear networked control system (NCS) with packet dropout and delay is investigated.A nonlinear stochastic system model is proposed to account for the NCS with random packet dropout and networkinduced non-uniformly distributed time-varying delay in both from sensor to controller (S/C) and from controller to actuator (C/A).Based on the obtained NCS model,employing an observer-based fault detection filter as the residual generator,the addressed fault detection problem is converted into an auxiliary nonlinear H∞ control problem.Then,with the help of Lyapunov functional approach,a sufficient condition for the desired fault detection filter is constructed in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities,which depend on not only the delay interval but also the delay interval occurrence rate and successful packet communication rate.Especially,a trade-off phenomenon between the maximum allowable delay bound and successful data packet transmission rate is found,which is typically resulted from the limited bandwidth of communication networks.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation example.
