异地配置的雷达与电子支援措施异步航迹关联

针对异步条件下雷达与电子支援措施(electronic support measurements, ESM)航迹关联问题, 通过分析方位角异步测量值对交叉定位原理的影响, 提出一种无需时域配准的航迹关联算法。根据传感器存在时延以及采样率的不同, 给出不等长航迹序列的等长区间变换以及异步航迹交叉定位的区间化方法, 通过计算区间序列离散度实现异类传感器航迹关联。通过仿真验证, 区间序列离散度不受噪声分布的影响, 且对数据集整体特征的求解避免了传统算法中的逐点运算, 有效提高了算法运算率。与传统算法相比, 可在多种测量误差场景下对异步航迹直接进行准确关联。     

Countering medical nihilism by reconnecting facts and values

A pessimistic strain of thought is fomenting in the health studies literature regarding the status of medicine. Ioannidis’s (2005) now famous finding that “most published research findings are false” and Stegenga’s (2018) book-length argument for medical nihilism are examples of this. In this paper, we argue that these positions are incorrect insofar as they rest on an untenable account of the nature of facts. Proper attention to fallibilism and the social organization of knowledge, as well as Bayesian probabilities in medical reasoning, prompt us to ask why the cynics expect the results of quantitative studies to be incontrovertibly true in the first place. While we agree with Ioannidis and others’ identified flaws in the medical research enterprise, and encourage rectification, we conclude that medical nihilism is not the natural outcome of the current state of research.     

Combining multivariate volatility forecasts using weighted losses

The ability to improve out-of-sample forecasting performance by combining forecasts is well established in the literature. This paper advances this literature in the area of multivariate volatility forecasts by developing two combination weighting schemes that exploit volatility persistence to emphasise certain losses within the combination estimation period. A comprehensive empirical analysis of the out-of-sample forecast performance across varying dimensions, loss functions, sub-samples and forecast horizons show that new approaches significantly outperform their counterparts in terms of statistical accuracy. Within the financial applications considered, significant benefits from combination forecasts relative to the individual candidate models are observed. Although the more sophisticated combination approaches consistently rank higher relative to the equally weighted approach, their performance is statistically indistinguishable given the relatively low power of these loss functions. Finally, within the applications, further analysis highlights how combination forecasts dramatically reduce the variability in the parameter of interest, namely the portfolio weight or beta.

基于广义梯形模糊数相似度的交叉效率集结

在不确定环境下,针对模糊数据的多样性和复杂性,本文结合广义梯形模糊数相似度理论将广义梯形模糊数的交叉效率矩阵转换为交叉互评相似度矩阵,并根据模糊信息检索系统中的布尔模型,以能最大程度还原信息本身为准则,构建满足"正相容性"的有序几何平均集结函数对交叉互评相似度矩阵进行集结,从而得到关于每个决策单元的同行评价综合相似度.根据决策单元的同行评价综合相似度,建立反映决策者偏好的模糊一致性偏好矩阵,并对决策单元进行集结权重的分配,根据分配结果计算决策单元的全局交叉效率值.本文的集结方法可以解决不确定环境下,交叉效率矩阵数据多样性的问题,有较高的适用性;并且其集结结果具有较高的一致性和稳定性.最后本文以梯形模糊数的交叉效率矩阵为算例,来说明该方法的合理性和适用性.     

基于粗糙集和证据理论的设备状态评估方法

为准确判定复杂设备健康状态，提出一种基于粗糙集理论和证据理论的健康状态评估方法。鉴于粗糙集只能处理离散指标，首先提出一种基于动态模糊C-均值聚类算法的连续型评估指标的离散化方法；再通过基于互信息的属性约简算法对复杂设备健康状态评估指标进行约简；然后对约简的评估决策表进行处理，构建基本信度分配函数；最后利用D-S合成规则进行多指标合成得到健康状态，进一步挖掘评估指标与健康状态间的关系。实例研究及对比分析表明该方法能有效提高决策可信度，减少评估的不确定性。
