Marginal problem, statistical estimation, and Möbius formula

Martin Janžura (2007)

Kybernetika

A solution to the marginal problem is obtained in a form of parametric exponential (Gibbs–Markov) distribution, where the unknown parameters are obtained by an optimization procedure that agrees with the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate. With respect to a difficult performance of the method we propose also an alternative approach, providing the original basis of marginals can be appropriately extended. Then the (numerically feasible) solution can be obtained either by the maximum pseudo-likelihood...

Neural network based identification of hysteresis in human meridian systems

Yonghong Tan, Ruili Dong, Hui Chen, Hong He (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Developing a model based digital human meridian system is one of the interesting ways of understanding and improving acupuncture treatment, safety analysis for acupuncture operation, doctor training, or treatment scheme evaluation. In accomplishing this task, how to construct a proper model to describe the behavior of human meridian systems is one of the very important issues. From experiments, it has been found that the hysteresis phenomenon occurs in the relations between stimulation input and...

Nonparametric instrumental variables for identification of block-oriented systems

Grzegorz Mzyk (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A combined, parametric-nonparametric identification algorithm for a special case of NARMAX systems is proposed. The parameters of individual blocks are aggregated in one matrix (including mixed products of parameters). The matrix is estimated by an instrumental variables technique with the instruments generated by a nonparametric kernel method. Finally, the result is decomposed to obtain parameters of the system elements. The consistency of the proposed estimate is proved and the rate of convergence...

Numerical studies of parameter estimation techniques for nonlinear evolution equations

Azmy S. Ackleh, Robert R. Ferdinand, Simeon Reich (1998)

Kybernetika

We briefly discuss an abstract approximation framework and a convergence theory of parameter estimation for a general class of nonautonomous nonlinear evolution equations. A detailed discussion of the above theory has been given earlier by the authors in another paper. The application of this theory together with numerical results indicating the feasibility of this general least squares approach are presented in the context of quasilinear reaction diffusion equations.

Optimization schemes for wireless sensor network localization

Ewa Niewiadomska-Szynkiewicz, Michał Marks (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN) require information about the geographical location of each sensor node. Self-organization and localization capabilities are one of the most important requirements in sensor networks. This paper provides an overview of centralized distance-based algorithms for estimating the positions of nodes in a sensor network. We discuss and compare three approaches: semidefinite programming, simulated annealing and two-phase stochastic optimization-a hybrid...

Stochastic Inverse Problem with Noisy Simulator. Application to aeronautical model

Nabil Rachdi, Jean-Claude Fort, Thierry Klein (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Inverse problem is a current practice in engineering where the goal is to identify parameters from observed data through numerical models. These numerical models, also called Simulators, are built to represent the phenomenon making possible the inference. However, such representation can include some part of variability or commonly called uncertainty (see [4]), arising from some variables of the model. The phenomenon we study is the fuel mass needed to link two given countries with a commercial...
