Constructing and evaluating core inflation measures from component‐level inflation data

This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of 10 measures of core inflation and evaluates which measure produces the best forecast of headline inflation out‐of‐sample. We use the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index as our measure of inflation. We use two sets of components (17 and 50) of the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index to construct these core inflation measures and evaluate these measures at the three time horizons (6, 12 and 24 months) most relevant for monetary policy decisions. The best measure of core inflation for both sets of components and over all time horizons uses weights based on the first principal component of the disaggregated (component‐level) prices. Interestingly, the results vary by the number of components used; when more components are used the weights based on the persistence of each component is statistically equivalent to the weights generated by the first principal component. However, those forecasts using the persistence of 50 components are statistically worse than those generated using the first principal component of 17 components. The statistical superiority of the principal component method is due to the fact that it extracts (in the first principal component) the common source of variation in the component level prices that accurately describes trend inflation over the next 6–24 months.

基于改进灰狼算法优化SVR的航天侦察装备效能评估

定量评估航天侦察装备效能是武器装备体系建设的重要环节之一, 对装备发展和作战应用具有重要的现实意义。针对评估样本数据少、效能在多指标因素影响下变化规律非线性等条件下的效能评估问题, 提出一种基于改进灰狼(improved grey wolf optimizer, IGWO)算法优化的支持向量回归机(support vector regression, SVR)评估方法(IGWO-SVR)。引入反向学习策略及余弦非线性收敛因子改进灰狼优化算法收敛性能及全局寻优能力, 并将其应用于基于支持SVR效能评估参数的优化。基于航天侦察装备特点, 构建评估指标体系及航天侦察装备效能评估模型。最后, 通过对一定作战想定背景下航天侦察装备效能进行仿真评估, 验证了所提方法的合理性及优化模型的有效性。     

避孕压力为啥由女性承担

<正>也不是没人研究过男性避孕药,只是面对这"野火烧不尽,春风吹又生"的精子们,科学家们绞尽脑汁却依旧所获不多。避孕,是男女两个人的事,但在选择避孕方式上,女性安装宫内节育器的比例要比男性做输精管结扎术的比例大得多,市面上的避孕药品也几乎都偏向于女性。像宫内节育器这样的避孕措施对女性的伤害还真不小。最可怕的是有很多女性即使带上宫内节育器还会有怀孕的情况,而这样的情况往往会导致宫外孕。     

基于数据场联合PRI变换与聚类的雷达信号分选

基于脉冲描述字进行雷达信号分选时,传统聚类算法需要预先人工设定聚类中心和聚类数目。针对该问题,提出一种基于数据场理论联合脉冲重复间隔(pulse repetition interval,PRI)变换与聚类的雷达信号分选新方法。首先,依据数据场理论,基于势值大小实现干扰点剔除,而后利用PRI变换算法进行PRI估计,依据PRI估计值将归一化脉冲描述字数据预分类,进而以各类数据集中心间的欧氏距离小于辐射因子为准则进行类别合并,自动得到初始聚类中心和聚类数目,最后通过改进K-Means算法完成聚类分选。仿真实验表明:所提方法能够应对存在频率捷变,重频参差、抖动、参数交叠、局部脉冲丢失的复杂信号环境,分选正确率明显提升。     

Hierarchical Community Detection Based on Partial Matrix Convergence Using Random Walks

Random walks are a standard tool for modeling the spreading process in social and biological systems.But in the face of large-scale networks,to achieve convergence,iterative calculation of the transition matrix in random walk methods consumes a lot of time.In this paper,we propose a three-stage hierarchical community detection algorithm based on Partial Matrix Approximation Convergence(PMAC) using random walks.First,this algorithm identifies the initial core nodes in a network by classical measurement and then utilizes the error function of the partial transition matrix convergence of the core nodes to determine the number of random walks steps.As such,the PMAC of the core nodes replaces the final convergence of all the nodes in the whole matrix.Finally,based on the approximation convergence transition matrix,we cluster the communities around core nodes and use a closeness index to merge two communities.By recursively repeating the process,a dendrogram of the communities is eventually constructed.We validated the performance of the PMAC by comparing its results with those of two representative methods for three real-world networks with different scales.
