A short history of chemometrics: a personal view

This article traces chemometrics back to its origins in scientific computing in the 1960s. Its development is compared in other computational disciplines such as bioinformatics. The change in geographical origins of papers published in the core chemometrics literature is discussed. It is concluded that the level of core activities in this area has hardly changed over several decades, whilst there has been a significant expansion in non‐expert users of packages over this period. It is estimated that around 2% of people encountering chemometrics in their research can be considered real experts. The problems of non‐experts using chemometrics methods with limited knowledge of the statistical fundamentals are explored. The contrasting development of chemometrics compared with, for example, computational chemistry and bioinformatics, is interpreted in terms of the changing financial pressures on research over its key developmental phase, as illustrated by the change in academic finance in the UK over the past 50 years.

Affordable and adequate annuities with stable payouts: Fantasy or reality?

This paper introduces a class of unit-linked annuities that extends existing annuities by allowing portfolio shocks to be gradually absorbed into the annuity payouts. Consequently, our new class enables insurers to offer an affordable and adequate annuity with a stable payout stream. We show how to price and adequately hedge the annuity payouts in a general financial environment. In particular, our model accounts for various stylized facts of stock returns such as asymmetry and heavy-tailedness. Furthermore, the generality of our framework makes it possible to explore the impact of a parameter misspecification on the annuity price and the hedging performance.     

Subitising activity relative to units construction: a case study

Subitising, a quick apprehension of the numerosity of a small set of items, has been found to change from an individual's reliance on perceptual to conceptual processes. In this study, we utilised a constructivist teaching experiment methodology to investigate how the subitising activity of one preschool student, Amy, related to her construction of prenumerical units. Subitising and counting tasks were designed to assess and perturb Amy's thinking relative to her construction of units, and to observe changes in Amy's activity associated with the different tasks. Findings indicate that as Amy's subitising activity changed from perceptual to conceptual, she constructed subitised motor units and subitised figurative units. Implications of this study suggest that the construction of subitised units may support young children's later development of arithmetic units.     

香蕉贮藏气体3D荧光表征特征选择及早期腐败预警初探

为利用3D荧光技术实现基于贮藏室气体荧光信息的香蕉腐败早期预警,选取两批不同贮藏日期的香蕉贮藏室气体进行三维荧光数据采集。首先对荧光数据进行了预处理：为消除三维荧光仪整体漂移现象,对得到的三维荧光数据进行去除漂移处理;利用matlab中eemscat工具包对瑞利与拉曼散射进行去除处理,有效消除了瑞利散射和拉曼散射的不利影响;运用Savitzky-Golar(SG)进行数据平滑处理,减少了噪声对荧光信号的干扰。同时,对三维荧光数据进行初步筛选,去除了荧光强度接近于0的发射波长,以及利用三阶高斯混合分布对不同激发波长下的发射光谱进行拟合去除了离散性较大的激发波长。然后针对荧光数据的特征表征,提出了一种基于Wilks Λ统计量融合间隔偏最小二乘法(iPLS)的荧光数据特征选择策略。具体是：用Wilks Λ统计量进行特征激发波长的选取,初步选出了5个特征激发波长;根据初选的特征激发波长用iPLS结合pH值及相对电导率进行了特征发射波段的选取,结果每个特征激发波长下均选出包含14个波长的特征发射波段。为进一步减少分析变量个数,根据选出的特征发射波长,运用Wilks Λ统计量再次进行特征激发波长反选,最终得到了3个特征激发波长。考虑到各特征激发波长下对应14个特征发射波长,故可选出42个特征发射波长。最后基于香蕉在贮藏中其品质变化具有时变特点,根据42个特征发射波长使用系统聚类分析法(SCA)进行香蕉腐败基准界定,得到两批香蕉均在贮藏的第5天出现品质突变。因此选用第5天贮藏室气体荧光信息来表征香蕉的腐败情况。另外,利用主成分分析(PCA)初步探索了用第1主成分实现香蕉早期腐败的预警。结果表明：文中提出的三维荧光数据特征波长的选择策略是能够有效降低光谱数据的复杂度,同时给出的早期腐败预警方法是可行的。     

Micro-economic analysis of the physical constrained markets: game theory application to competitive electricity markets

Competition has been introduced in the electricity markets with the goal of reducing prices and improving efficiency. The basic idea which stays behind this choice is that, in competitive markets, a greater quantity of the good is exchanged at a lower price, leading to higher market efficiency. Electricity markets are pretty different from other commodities mainly due to the physical constraints related to the network structure that may impact the market performance. The network structure of the system on which the economic transactions need to be undertaken poses strict physical and operational constraints. Strategic interactions among producers that game the market with the objective of maximizing their producer surplus must be taken into account when modeling competitive electricity markets. The physical constraints, specific of the electricity markets, provide additional opportunity of gaming to the market players. Game theory provides a tool to model such a context. This paper discussed the application of game theory to physical constrained electricity markets with the goal of providing tools for assessing the market performance and pinpointing the critical network constraints that may impact the market efficiency. The basic models of game theory specifically designed to represent the electricity markets will be presented. IEEE30 bus test system of the constrained electricity market will be discussed to show the network impacts on the market performances in presence of strategic bidding behavior of the producers.     

Thermoeconomic analysis of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle

In this paper an analysis of the Stirling cycle in thermoeconomic terms is developed using the entropy generation. In the thermoeconomic optimization of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle the F function has been introduced to evaluate the optimum for the higher and lower sources temperature ratio in the cycle: this ratio represents the value which optimizes the cycle itself. The variation of the function F is proportional to the variation of the entropy generation, the maxima and minima of F has been evaluated in a previous paper without giving the physical foundation of the method. We investigate the groundwork of this approach: to study the upper and lower limits of F function allows to determine the cycle stability and the optimization conditions. The optimization consists in the best COP at the least cost. The principle of maximum variation for the entropy generation becomes the analytic foundation of the optimization method in the thermoeconomic analysis for an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle.
