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.

预期短缺ES估计的稳定性分析

在风险管理中,风险量度估计的稳定性对金融机构的经济资本确定及风险分配起着重要的作用.本文从预期短缺(ESα)估计的稳定性角度分析重要性抽样技术和Monte Carlo模拟在估计信用资产组合ESα方面的差异.结果表明,由于组合损失分布尾部事件的稀有性,与传统的Monte Carlo模拟方法相比,运用重要性抽样方法估计的ESα比较稳定,且生成的风险贡献能够明显地体现出资产间不同的风险特征.     

基于Kriging模型与重要性抽样的可靠性灵敏度分析

针对因无法获得功能函数的梯度信息而不能使用解析方法的情形,提出了进行可靠性灵敏度分析的高效的仿真方法,首先基于Kriging模型和重要性抽样去计算失效概率,然后通过记分函数(score function)方法求出失效概率对各个参数的偏导数。在计算失效概率时采用反问题(inversion problems)中的不确定性逐步减少(stepwise uncertainty reduction)准则来更新功能函数的Kriging模型,继而在重要性抽样的框架下将失效概率表示成一个"增大"的失效概率与修正项的乘积;而记分函数方法只是对前面抽样方法的一个简单后处理,不需要计算额外的功能函数值.对所提方法使用算例验证表明:当功能函数为昂贵的计算模型或对系统(非单个构件)进行灵敏度分析时,该方法具有较高的计算效率和精度。

通过对Knockout算法的研究分析,针对其在实际应用中需要用户大量的交互工作以及因模型简单造成的抠图不精确问题,提出了一种改进算法。该算法用区域生长方法将用户输入的前、背景线段生长聚合成前、背景区域;然后用轮廓查找方法找到两个区域的轮廓作为Trimap的前、背景轮廓线;最后使用优化颜色样本的方法对每个未知像素点的样本进行优化,提高抠图的精确度。实验结果表明,改进后的算法需要用户较少的工作量,能够得到传统Knockout算法更好的抠图效果。     

Dynamic Latent Class Model Averaging for Online Prediction

We consider the problem of online prediction when it is uncertain what the best prediction model to use is. We develop a method called dynamic latent class model averaging, which combines a state‐space model for the parameters of each of the candidate models of the system with a Markov chain model for the best model. We propose a polychotomous regression model for the transition weights to assume that the probability of a change in time depends on the past through the values of the most recent time periods and spatial correlation among the regions. The evolution of the parameters in each submodel is defined by exponential forgetting. This structure allows the ‘correct’ model to vary over both time and regions. In contrast to existing methods, the proposed model naturally incorporates clustering and prediction analysis in a single unified framework. We develop an efficient Gibbs algorithm for computation, and we demonstrate the value of our framework on simulated experiments and on a real‐world problem: forecasting IBM's corporate revenue.

Non-invasive genetic study and population monitoring of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) (Mammalia: Ursidae) in Kastoria region – Greece

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Greece is considered endangered but little is known about the genetic status and the exact size of local populations. Non-invasive genetic sampling was used in this study to investigate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of the brown bear population in the Kastoria region (northwest Macedonia, Greece) and to estimate its population size. Estimation of demographic parameters was based on innovative, well-evaluated methods that can provide estimates from a single sampling session. DNA was extracted from hairs, scat and blood samples and subsequent amplification of 10 microsatellite loci allowed the identification of a minimum number of 75 living bears in the study area while the mark–recapture-based analysis resulted in a point estimation of 219 individuals. Relatively high diversity values, lack of heterozygosity deficiency as well as estimated effective population size, support the Kastoria bear population having good conservation status.
