Robustness of alternative non‐linearity tests for SETAR models

In recent years there has been a growing interest in exploiting potential forecast gains from the non‐linear structure of self‐exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) models. Statistical tests have been proposed in the literature to help analysts check for the presence of SETAR‐type non‐linearities in an observed time series. It is important to study the power and robustness properties of these tests since erroneous test results might lead to misspecified prediction problems. In this paper we investigate the robustness properties of several commonly used non‐linearity tests. Both the robustness with respect to outlying observations and the robustness with respect to model specification are considered. The power comparison of these testing procedures is carried out using Monte Carlo simulation. The results indicate that all of the existing tests are not robust to outliers and model misspecification. Finally, an empirical application applies the statistical tests to stock market returns of the four little dragons (Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan) in East Asia. The non‐linearity tests fail to provide consistent conclusions most of the time. The results in this article stress the need for a more robust test for SETAR‐type non‐linearity in time series analysis and forecasting. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A new model for the life prediction of GH4133 under TMF conditions

Thermal mechanical cyclic strain tests were carried out under in-phase and out-of-phase conditions on a Nickel-base Superalloy GH4133 in the temperature range of 571-823℃. Based on analyzing the present models of TMF (thermal mechanical fatigue) life prediction, a new model for predicting nickel-base superalloy TMF lifetime was proposed.TMF life of superalloy GH4133 was calculated accurately based on the new model. Experimental TMF life has been compared with the calculatedresults and all results fall in the scatter band of 1.5. The calculating results show that the new model is not only simple, but also precise. This model will play great roles in life prediction of the metal materials and the engineering components subjected to non-isothermal service conditions.     

地震参数综合处理方法在储层横向预测中的应用

建立了一套计算机上可实现的地震参数综合研究的算法和程序,将地震参数综合处理方法变为计算机处理过程,再将地球物理数据转换为地质解释语言.从现有的模式识别或统计分析方法中,选用了输出能量最大准则滤波的综合参数法和标准样本学习的判别分析法进行储层岩性预测.尽管综合参数或判别函数本身已失去了各个参数原有的明确的物理意义,但它却代表了多参数共同性的变化,较可靠地反映出产生这些变化的地质因素.     

实空间上的闭子集与相似包含关系

Paul Frdos曾提出如下关于实直线R的问题：是否对R的每一个无限子集X，都存在一个具有正测度（Lebesgue测度）的闭子集E，使得E的任何子集都不相似于X（E的任何子集都不与X线性同胚）。1984年，Falconer证明了如下结论：对于一个满足limxn=0和linxn 1/xn＝1的单调递减的正实数列{xn}，Erdos问题有一个部分肯定的解答。本文将证明：上述关于数列的条件可以替换为更一般的（弱一些的）条件。最后把本文的相应结论推广到有限维欧氏空间R^n中。

Time‐simultaneous prediction band for a time series

I propose principles and methods for the construction of a time‐simultaneous prediction band for a univariate time series. The methods are entirely based on a learning sample of time trajectories, and make no parametric assumption about its distribution. Hence, the methods are general and widely applicable. The expected coverage probability of a band can be estimated by a bootstrap procedure. The estimate is likely to be less than the nominal level. Expected lack of coverage can be compensated for by increasing the coverage in the learning sample. Applications to simulated and empirical data illustrate the methods.

煤与瓦斯突出预报的模糊聚类关联分析法

首先采用模糊聚类分析对煤与瓦斯突出的样本集合进行分类，建立不同突出程度的模糊模式。然后用关联分析确定待预报样本与模式的关联程度，以此预测预报样本的煤与瓦斯突出危险程度。这种预报方法相对于模糊聚类分类后，将模式与待预报样本组成新的样本集合，再进行聚类分析，以此分类结果进行预报法。不仅可靠程度高，而且能定量描述待报样本与模式的亲和程度。
