Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
Reduced dimensionality representation of strong ground motion records as a superposition of a relatively small number of pulses is studied. Such representation is obtained by the expansion of velocity in orthogonal wavelet series using the Fast Wavelet Transform, and approximation by only the largest energy terms in the series. The Coiflet 5 wavelet family is used, which is orthogonal, smooth a...
متن کاملConfidence in Data Mining Model Predictions: a Financial Engineering Application
This paper describes a generally applicable robust method for determining prediction intervals for models derived by non-linear regression. Hypothesis tests for bias are applied. The concept is demonstrated by application to a standard synthetic example, and is then applied to prediction intervals for a financial engineering example viz. option pricing using data from LIFFE for 'ESX' European s...
متن کاملEvaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering Prediction of Overoptimistic Predictions
Overoptimistic predictions are common in software engineering projects, e.g., the average software project cost overrun is about 30%. This paper examines the use of two popular general tests of optimism (the ASQ and the LOT-R test) to select software engineers that are less likely to provide overoptimistic predictions. A necessary, but not sufficient, condition for this use is that there is a s...
متن کاملDynamic soil±pile±foundation±structure interaction: records and predictions
The problem of soil±pile±foundation±superstructure interaction is examined, and a simple rational procedure to analyse the response of a structure supported on pile groups is presented. This procedure combines theories for the computation of the dynamic impedances and kinematic±seismic response factors of pile foundations with a multi-degree-of-freedom structural model. The procedure is applied...
متن کاملOptimising soil-hydrological predictions using effective CART models
There are various problems with process-based models at the landscape scale, including substantial computational requirements, a multitude of uncertain input parameters and the limited parameter identificability. Classification And Regression Trees (CART) is a recent databased approach that is likely to yield advantages both over process-based models and simple empirical models. This non-parame...
