Structure-selection techniques applied to continuous-time nonlinear models

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of choosing the multinomials that should compose a polynomial mathematical model starting from data. The mathematical representation used is a nonlinear differential equation of the polynomial type. Some approaches that have been used in the context of discrete-time models are adapted and applied to continuous-time models. Two examples are included to illustrate the main ideas. Models obtained with and without structure selection are compared using topological analysis. The main differences between structure-selected models and complete structure models are: (i) the former are more parsimonious than the latter, (ii) a predefined fixed-point configuration can be guaranteed for the former, and (iii) the former set of models produce attractors that are topologically closer to the original attractor than those produced by the complete structure models. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

A Comparative Review of Selection Models in Longitudinal Continuous Response Data with Dropout
Missing values occur in studies of various disciplines such as social sciences, medicine, and economics. The missing mechanism in these studies should be investigated more carefully. In this article, some models, proposed in the literature on longitudinal data with dropout are reviewed and compared. In an applied example it is shown that the selection model of Hausman and Wise (1979, Econometri...

متن کاملComparison of using Different Modeling Techniques on the Prediction of the Nonlinear Behavior of R/C Shear Walls
Abstract: Reinforced concrete shear walls have been used throughout the world as known resisting elements for the lateral wind and earthquake loads. They are mostly designed and constructed based on elastic calculations and therefore resulting in un-economical sections. In order to overcome this weakness, scientists have proposed different methodologies to account for the non linear behavior of...

متن کاملWhich Methodology is Better for Combining Linear and Nonlinear Models for Time Series Forecasting?
Both theoretical and empirical findings have suggested that combining different models can be an effective way to improve the predictive performance of each individual model. It is especially occurred when the models in the ensemble are quite different. Hybrid techniques that decompose a time series into its linear and nonlinear components are one of the most important kinds of the hybrid model...
