在属性集和属性测度函数的基础上建立了属性测度预警系统.利用我国深、沪两交易所2000年公布的106家上市公司作为训练样本,计算出“差”企业和“好”企业的属性测度均值,构造出属性测度函数.进而对2001年公布的13家预亏公司进行预警分析,用置信度准则及最大属性测度准则判别,预警准确率分别达到92.31%和100%.因此,属性识别预警系统在信用评价方面具有良好的应用前景.     

Chaotic Dynamics in Weight Space of Neural Networks

When a special nonlinear self-feedback term is introduced into the dynamical equation of the backpropagation training algorithm for networks, the dynamics in weight space of networks can become chaotic. Chaotic dynamics of the system can help it escape from the most commonplace local minima of the energy. Simulation on the XOR problem and the prediction of chaotic time series have shown that the proposed chaotic training algorithm can converge to the global minimum or its approximate solutions efficiently and dramatically faster than the original backpropagation training algorithm.     

Inference on COVID-19 Epidemiological Parameters Using Bayesian Survival Analysis

The need to provide accurate predictions in the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic has motivated the development of different epidemiological models. These models require a careful calibration of their parameters to capture the dynamics of the phenomena and the uncertainty in the data. This work analyzes different parameters related to the personal evolution of COVID-19 (i.e., time of recovery, length of stay in hospital and delay in hospitalization). A Bayesian Survival Analysis is performed considering the age factor and period of the epidemic as fixed predictors to understand how these features influence the evolution of the epidemic. These results can be easily included in the epidemiological SIR model to make prediction results more stable.     

基于多尺度自适应阶ARMA的混沌序列多步预测

混沌时间序列在自然界以及人们的生产生活中很常见,混沌序列看似杂乱无章但相较于纯随机序列其中蕴含着一些非线性的运动特征,提出一种基于多尺度自适应阶ARMA的混沌时间序列多步预测方法.首先利用自适应噪声的完备经验模态分解(CEEMDAN)对原始混沌序列进行分解,获得不同尺度的固有模态分量(IMF)和残余分量.然后采用经粒子群算法(PSO)进行阶数寻优的自回归移动平均模型(ARMA)对每一个IMF分量进行拟合预测.最后将预测得到的每一个分量相加得到原始混沌序列的预测值.基于Mackay-Glass混沌序列和太阳黑子数混沌序列进行实验分析,实验表明:与ARMA、PSO-ARMA以及CEEMDAN-ARMA方法相比,方法的预测效果有较好的提高,其平均绝对误差(MAE)、均方根误差(RMSE)以及平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)都有降低.

Demand commitments in majority bargaining or how formateurs get their way

We consider a demand bargaining model where the formateur (proposal maker) is appointed before the players state their demands. In a general continuous framework, we show that if the decision has a distributive dimension, then the formateur gets his way. I thank Friedel Bolle, Jonathan Tan, the editor, and an anonymous referee for very helpful comments. In addition, I gratefully acknowledge the support of the DFG (project no. BO 747/10-1).     

A parameterized approach to modeling and forecasting mortality

A new method is proposed of constructing mortality forecasts. This parameterized approach utilizes Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), based on heteroscedastic Poisson (non-additive) error structures, and using an orthonormal polynomial design matrix. Principal Component (PC) analysis is then applied to the cross-sectional fitted parameters. The produced model can be viewed either as a one-factor parameterized model where the time series are the fitted parameters, or as a principal component model, namely a log-bilinear hierarchical statistical association model of Goodman [Goodman, L.A., 1991. Measures, models, and graphical displays in the analysis of cross-classified data. J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 86(416), 1085-1111] or equivalently as a generalized Lee-Carter model with p interaction terms. Mortality forecasts are obtained by applying dynamic linear regression models to the PCs. Two applications are presented: Sweden (1751-2006) and Greece (1957-2006).     

Dynamic mortality factor model with conditional heteroskedasticity

In most methods for modeling mortality rates, the idiosyncratic shocks are assumed to be homoskedastic. This study investigates the conditional heteroskedasticity of mortality in terms of statistical time series. We start from testing the conditional heteroskedasticity of the period effect in the naïve Lee-Carter model for some mortality data. Then we introduce the Generalized Dynamic Factor method and the multivariate BEKK GARCH model to describe mortality dynamics and the conditional heteroskedasticity of mortality. After specifying the number of static factors and dynamic factors by several variants of information criterion, we compare our model with other two models, namely, the Lee-Carter model and the state space model. Based on several error-based measures of performance, our results indicate that if the number of static factors and dynamic factors is properly determined, the method proposed dominates other methods. Finally, we use our method combined with Kalman filter to forecast the mortality rates of Iceland and period life expectancies of Denmark, Finland, Italy and Netherlands.
