Evaluating the reliability of microsatellite genotyping from low-quality DNA templates with a polynomial distribution model

Molecular studies using trace DNA, such as from museum specimens, ancient or forensic samples and samples obtained noninvasively, often have a common problem of low quality of DNA templates. Amplification errors, such as allelic dropout and false allele, may arise during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using such samples. A mathematical model which treats homozygotes and heterozygotes discriminately has been developed to measure sample quality and compute the confidence level of using multipletube approaches. We use plucked hair samples collected from 26 individual Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxel- lana) to test the model. In this case, a confidence level of 99% can be achieved by three positive PCRs. If the sample quality is very poor and requires many PCR replicates, an alternative multiplestep genotyping method is recommended. This model enables researchers to optimize experimental protocols through pilot studies and obtain reliable genetic information using noninvasive sampling method.

Compressive sensing based multiuser detector for massive MBM MIMO uplink

Media based modulation(MBM)is expected to be a prominent modulation scheme,which has access to the high data rate by using radio frequency(RF)mirrors and fewer transmit antennas.Associated with multiuser multiple input multiple output(MIMO),the MBM scheme achieves better performance than other conventional multiuser MIMO schemes.In this paper,the massive MIMO uplink is considered and a conjunctive MBM transmission scheme for each user is employed.This conjunctive MBM transmission scheme gathers aggregate MBM signals in multiple continuous time slots,which exploits the structured sparsity of these aggregate MBM signals.Under this kind of scenario,a multiuser detector with low complexity based on the compressive sensing(CS)theory to gain better detection performance is proposed.This detector is developed from the greedy sparse recovery technique compressive sampling matching pursuit(CoSaMP)and exploits not only the inherently distributed sparsity of MBM signals but also the structured sparsity of multiple aggregate MBM signals.By exploiting these sparsity,the proposed CoSaMP based multiuser detector achieves reliable detection with low complexity.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed CoSaMP based multiuser detector achieves better detection performance compared with the conventional methods.     

多精英采样与个体差分学习的分布估计算法

提出了基于多精英采样和差分搜索的分布估计算法EDA-M/D (Estimation distribution algorithm based on multiple elites sampling and individuals differential search)。EDA-M/D利用多精英个体独立采样生成子代来提升算法全局搜索能力,利用精英群体分布的σ²约束采样半径,实现种群从全局搜索逐步过度到局部搜索。当精英群体停滞时,劣势个体借助精英群体的μ和种群历史最优解进行差分搜索,帮助种群跳出局部最优解。通过多精英采样与差分搜索的自适应协同实现种群宏观信息与个体微观信息的有机融合。实验结果表明EDA-M/D在稳定性和搜索能力方面均表现出明显的优势。     

供应链产品质量检查策略的比较研究

研究由一个供应商和一个零售商组成的供应链,建立存在质量不确定与检查错误下的报童模型,比较分析全检、抽检、分批抽检以及组合策略在分散式与集中式供应链中对零售商订购决策与质量控制效率的影响.结果表明,次品率的增加会降低零售商订购产品的动因,但会增加组合策略下零售商的订购量与利润,同时对集中式供应链中全检策略下的零售商有利;比较策略可知,在分散式供应链中,若次品率较低,则分批抽检策略最优,而随着次品率的提高,组合策略会更优,而在集中式供应链中,全检策略最优;此外零售商质量控制策略的选择受到检查精度、责任成本、次品率阈值、抽检数量以及分批次数等诸多因素的影响,最优策略不尽相同,但不会改变零售商利润随次品率变化的趋势.     

Optimal sampling frequency for volatility forecast models for the Indian stock markets

This paper evaluates the performance of conditional variance models using high‐frequency data of the National Stock Index (S&P CNX NIFTY) and attempts to determine the optimal sampling frequency for the best daily volatility forecast. A linear combination of the realized volatilities calculated at two different frequencies is used as benchmark to evaluate the volatility forecasting ability of the conditional variance models (GARCH (1, 1)) at different sampling frequencies. From the analysis, it is found that sampling at 30 minutes gives the best forecast for daily volatility. The forecasting ability of these models is deteriorated, however, by the non‐normal property of mean adjusted returns, which is an assumption in conditional variance models. Nevertheless, the optimum frequency remained the same even in the case of different models (EGARCH and PARCH) and different error distribution (generalized error distribution, GED) where the error is reduced to a certain extent by incorporating the asymmetric effect on volatility. Our analysis also suggests that GARCH models with GED innovations or EGRACH and PARCH models would give better estimates of volatility with lower forecast error estimates.
