چکیده

Local probabilistic sensitivity of input variable X with respect to output variable Z is proportional to the derivative of the conditional expectation E(X|z). This paper reports on experience in computing this conditional expectation. Linearized estimates are found to give acceptable performance, but are not generally applicable. A new method of linearization based on re-weighting a Monte Carlo sample is introduced. Results are comparable to the linearized estimates, but this method is more widely applicable. Results generally improve by conditioning on a small window around z.

Robust Fuzzy Gain-Scheduled Control of the 3-Phase IPMSM

This article presents a fuzzy robust Mixed - Sensitivity Gain - Scheduled H controller based on the Loop -Shaping methodology for a class of MIMO uncertain nonlinear Time - Varying systems. In order to design this controller, the nonlinear parameter - dependent plant is first modeled as a set of linear subsystems by Takagi and Sugeno’s (T - S) fuzzy approach. Both Loop - Shaping methodology and...

Techniques for generic probabilistic inversion

Simple algorithms for probabilistic inversion are proposed, based on iterative sample re-weighting. One of these, iterative proportional fitting (IP F), dates from the 1930's and has been studied extensively with regard to contingency tables. A new algorithm is shown to converge even when IP F is infeasible.

The Effect of Multiple Weighting Steps on Variance Estimation

1. Introduction Multiple steps in weighting are common in survey estimation. Each step usually introduces a source of variability in an estimator that may be important to reflect when estimating variances. A typical sequence of weighting steps in a probability sample is this: 1. Compute base weights. 2. Adjust weights to account for units with unknown eligibility. 3. Adjust weights for nonrespo...

Modeling of a Probabilistic Re-Entrant Line Bounded by Limited Operation Utilization Time

This paper presents an analytical model based on mean value analysis (MVA) technique for a probabilistic re-entrant line. The objective is to develop a solution method to determine the total cycle time of a Reflow Screening (RS) operation in a semiconductor assembly plant. The uniqueness of this operation is that it has to be borrowed from another department in order to perform the production s...

Ontology-based Query Expansion Strategies for Bio-medical Literature Search

In this paper we present the design and evaluation of our biomedical literature searching approaches using the TREC 2004 ad hoc retrieval task in the Genomics track. The main approach taken in our system is to expand queries by exploiting the three widely used strategies local analysis, global analysis, and ontology-based term re-weighting across various search engines. The experimental results...
