A Bayesian record linkage model incorporating relational data

In this article, we introduce a novel Bayesian approach for linking multiple social networks in order to discover the same real world person having different accounts across networks. In particular, we develop a latent model that allows us to jointly characterize the network and linkage structures relying on both relational and profile data. In contrast to other existing approaches in the machine learning literature, our Bayesian implementation naturally provides uncertainty quantification via posterior probabilities for the linkage structure itself or any function of it. Our findings clearly suggest that our methodology can produce accurate point estimates of the linkage structure even in the absence of profile information, and also, in an identity resolution setting, our results confirm that including relational data into the matching process improves the linkage accuracy. We illustrate our methodology using real data from popular social networks such as Twitter , Facebook , and YouTube .     

Multivariate dynamic modeling for Bayesian forecasting of business revenue

Forecasting enterprise-wide revenue is critical to many companies and presents several challenges and opportunities for significant business impact. This case study is based on model developments to address these challenges for forecasting in a large-scale retail company. Focused on multivariate revenue forecasting across collections of supermarkets and product categories, hierarchical dynamic models are natural: these are able to couple revenue streams in an integrated forecasting model, while allowing conditional decoupling to enable relevant and sensitive analysis together with scalable computation. Structured models exploit multi-scale modeling to cascade information on price and promotion activities as predictors relevant across categories and groups of stores. With a context-relevant focus on forecasting revenue 12 weeks ahead, the study highlights product categories that benefit from multi-scale information, defines insights into when, how, and why multivariate models improve forecast accuracy, and shows how cross-category dependencies can relate to promotion decisions in one category impacting others. Bayesian modeling developments underlying the case study are accessible in custom code for interested readers.     

Time-dependent Aharonov–Casher effect on noncommutative space

In this paper,we study the time-dependent Aharonov-Casher effect and its corrections due to spatial noncommutativity.Given that the charge of the infinite line in the Aharonov-Casher effect can adiabatically vary with time,we show that the original Aharonov-Casher phase receives an adiabatic correction,which is characterized by the time-dependent charge density.Based on Seiberg-Witten map,we show that noncommutative corrections to the time-dependent Aharonov-Casher phase contains not only an adi...     

高维线性插值方法及其在3维温度场计算中的应用

通过分析1维和2维线性插值可以推导出任意斜角直线坐标系下n维线性插值的一般计算公式以及有唯一解的条件,这一结论能够应用于三维温度场计算。可以将n维插值问题归结如下:已知n 1维空间中的n 1个点的坐标以及第n 2个点的n个坐标分量xn 2,1,x n 2,2,,xn 2,n,求解该点的第n 1个坐标分量xn 2,n 1。根据线性插值定义,第n 2个点位于前n 1个点所确定的n维超平面上。根据这一条件列写方程、求解方程可得到插值xn 2,n 1。n维插值问题有唯一解的条件是已知的n 1个点在n维空间中构成的多面体的体积不为0。推导过程在斜角直线坐标系中完成,因而结论具有较大普适性。

壳体中面大变形的变形协调条件

不论是未变形的壳体中面,或者变形时的壳体中面都是嵌放在三维 Euclidean 空间的弹性体,所以壳体中面的连续条件表现为壳体中面上的矢量对中面坐标θ~λ和θ~μ的三维协变导数的求导次序可以交换,也就是说,未变形和变形构型的三维 Riemann—Christoffel 张量都应当等于零。从此观点出发,本文推导了壳体中面大变形的变形协调条件。如果采用 Kirchhoff—Love 假设,本文所得的结果与 Koiter[4]的结果完全一致。     

薄板弯曲问题的P型杂交解析有限元方法

本文采用两套变量构造有限元试函数空间，在单元内部要求试函数精确满足平衡微分方程，在单元边界上对位移和转角分别用Ｐｅａｎｏ升阶函数插值，然后利用广义变分原理建立了一种薄板弯曲问题的Ｐ型杂交解析有限方法，与常规有限元法相比，该方法不心进行过细的网格剖分，通过增加单元插值多项式的阶数Ｐ来提高精度，此外，该方法还具有积分计算只需在单元边界上进行、单元钢度矩阵和载荷向量具有嵌入结构、协调程度可以自动控制等优

Confined buckling of inextensible rods by convex difference algorithms

In this Note we present an approach to determine the local minima of a specific class of minimization problems. Attention is focused on the inextensibility condition of flexible rods expressed as a nonconvex constraint. Two algorithms are derived from a special splitting of the Lagrangian into the difference of two convex functions (DC). They are compared to the augmented Lagrangian methods used in this context. These DC formulations are easily extended to contact problems and applied to the determination of confined buckling shapes. To cite this article: P. Alart, S. Pagano, C. R.
