基于字符行特征的车牌倾斜矫正算法

针对Hough算法在识别白色反光车牌时的不足,提出了基于车牌字符行特征的倾斜矫正算法.该方法采用通过字符行倾斜度恢复车牌原貌的机理,即从多个角度来对图像倾斜的方向扫描,分别记录各扫描平行线组中具有车牌字符信息的行数,对应字符行数目最多的扫描角度就是图像倾斜的角度.实验表明,该算法能较理想地减少车牌倾斜给车牌字符分割及识别带来的负面影响,运算量小且易行可靠.

针对非结构网格下的潮流数值计算,采用有限体积法离散基本方程,对流-扩散项离散采用幂率格式,交叉扩散项引入超松弛校正方法,水位校正方程应用Rhie-Chow动量插值思想和SIMPLEC类算法导出.采用两步压力校正法将交叉扩散项单独考虑,以提高模型对高度畸变网格的适应能力.计算结果表明,该处理方法可提高压力欠松弛系数,并能有效改善复杂区域潮流模拟的健壮性.通过对黄浦江感潮河段潮流的模拟,表明该模型的预测结果与实测资料吻合良好,模型对潮流的模拟结果是可靠的.     

我国货币政策时效性的协整分析

运用1978年至2003年的年度统计数据,对现金、狭义货币和广义货币与各主要经济变量之间因果关系进行Granger因果检验.在此基础上,具体分析相应货币供给量与主要经济变量之间的协整关系,建立误差修正模型.分析结果表明,货币供应量的变化对经济增长GDP的作用力不大,对消费和投资的影响力较小,货币供应量的变化对信贷的变化影响较大;从协整关系来看,信贷与货币供应量几乎同比例变化,两者的均衡误差也较大,货币供给对利率的影响也有较明显的滞后.     

Short‐term salmon price forecasting

This study establishes a benchmark for short‐term salmon price forecasting. The weekly spot price of Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon is predicted 1–5 weeks ahead using data from 2007 to 2014. Sixteen alternative forecasting methods are considered, ranging from classical time series models to customized machine learning techniques to salmon futures prices. The best predictions are delivered by k‐nearest neighbors method for 1 week ahead; vector error correction model estimated using elastic net regularization for 2 and 3 weeks ahead; and futures prices for 4 and 5 weeks ahead. While the nominal gains in forecast accuracy over a naïve benchmark are small, the economic value of the forecasts is considerable. Using a simple trading strategy for timing the sales based on price forecasts could increase the net profit of a salmon farmer by around 7%.

Forecast robustness in macroeconometric models

This paper investigates potential invariance of mean forecast errors to structural breaks in the data generating process. From the general forecasting literature, such robustness is expected to be a rare occurrence. With the aid of a stylized macro model we are able to identify some economically relevant cases of robustness and to interpret them economically. We give an interpretation in terms of co‐breaking. The analytical results resound well with the forecasting record of a medium‐scale econometric model of the Norwegian economy.     

Bias‐corrected bootstrap prediction intervals for autoregressive model: new alternatives with applications to tourism forecasting

This paper proposes the use of the bias‐corrected bootstrap for interval forecasting of an autoregressive time series with an arbitrary number of deterministic components. We use the bias‐corrected bootstrap based on two alternative bias‐correction methods: the bootstrap and an analytic formula based on asymptotic expansion. We also propose a new stationarity‐correction method, based on stable spectral factorization, as an alternative to Kilian's method exclusively used in past studies. A Monte Carlo experiment is conducted to compare small‐sample properties of prediction intervals. The results show that the bias‐corrected bootstrap prediction intervals proposed in this paper exhibit desirable small‐sample properties. It is also found that the bootstrap bias‐corrected prediction intervals based on stable spectral factorization are tighter and more stable than those based on Kilian's stationarity‐correction. The proposed methods are applied to interval forecasting for the number of tourist arrivals in Hong Kong. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
