Estimation of a smooth quantile function under the proportional hazards model

The problem of estimating a smooth quantile function, Q(·), at a fixed point p, 0 < p < 1, is treated under a nonparametric smoothness condition on Q. The asymptotic relative deficiency of the sample quantile based on the maximum likelihood estimate of the survival function under the proportional hazards model with respect to kernel type estimators of the quantile is evaluated. The comparison is based on the mean square errors of the estimators. It is shown that the relative deficiency tends to infinity as the sample size, n, tends to infinity.

流形元法固定边界约束处理研究

在数值流形方法中,对于材料的固定边界,一般采用罚函数的方法进行处理,即在固定边界上设置刚性弹簧约束其位移来实现固定约束条件的近似满足。罚函数法在理论上不是严格的固定约束处理方法,罚弹簧的布置与弹簧刚度的大小对模拟的效果都会产生影响。基于流形单元上位移函数的组成提出了流形方法固定边界约束处理的新方法,在组成流形单元的物理覆盖上,通过取消相应的覆盖函数在流形单元位移函数中的组成来实现双向固定的约束条件,通过使用只包含单方向位移的覆盖函数使x向固定约束条件和y向固定约束条件得到实现,推导了相应固定约束条件下的流形单元刚度矩阵的数值计算格式。该方法严格满足固定约束的物理意义,简化了固定边界的处理,并经算例证明是有效和准确的,有利于数值流形方法的程序实现和工程应用。

Constructing and evaluating alternative frames of discernment

We construct alternative frames of discernment from input belief functions. We assume that the core of each belief function is a subset of a so far unconstructed frame of discernment. The alternative frames are constructed as different cross products of unions of different cores. With the frames constructed the belief functions are combined for each alternative frame. The appropriateness of each frame is evaluated in two ways: (i) we measure the aggregated uncertainty (an entropy measure) of the combined belief functions for that frame to find if the belief functions are interacting in interesting ways, (ii) we measure the conflict in Dempster’s rule when combining the belief functions to make sure they do not exhibit too much internal conflict. A small frame typically yields a small aggregated uncertainty but a large conflict, and vice versa. The most appropriate frame of discernment is that which minimizes a probabilistic sum of the conflict and a normalized aggregated uncertainty of all combined belief functions for that frame of discernment.     

Stochastic Theory of Discrete Binary Fragmentation—Kinetics and Thermodynamics

We formulate binary fragmentation as a discrete stochastic process in which an integer mass k splits into two integer fragments j, k−j, with rate proportional to the fragmentation kernel Fj,k−j. We construct the ensemble of all distributions that can form in fixed number of steps from initial mass M and obtain their probabilities in terms of the fragmentation kernel. We obtain its partition function, the mean distribution and its evolution in time, and determine its stability using standard thermodynamic tools. We show that shattering is a phase transition that takes place when the stability conditions of the partition function are violated. We further discuss the close analogy between shattering and gelation, and between fragmentation and aggregation in general.

Two-Dimensional Rossby Waves: Exact Solutions to Petviashvili Equation

The two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear Rossby waves described by the Petviashvili equation, which has been invoked as an ageostrophic extension of the barotropic quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation, can be investigated through the exact periodic-wave solutions for the Petviashvili equation, while the exact analytical periodic-wave solutions to the Petviashvili equation are obtained by using the Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. It is shown that periodic-wave 2D Rossby solutions can be obtained by this method, and in the limit cases, the 2D Rossby soliton solutions are also obtained.
