The paper proposes an application of Empirical Mode Decomposition in technical analysis. The EMD-candlestick is designed to replace the traditional candlestick as the signal generators in technical trading strategies to improve the profitability. We investigate a representative set of technical trading strategies, including moving average, trading range break-out, relative strength index, and i...

Titanium alloys have been used in aerospace, aeronautic, automotive, biomedical, structural, and other applications because titanium less density than materials like steel support higher stress Al-alloys. However, components made of are exposed to corrosive environments, the most common being industrial marine atmospheres. This research shows corrosion behavior three alloys, specifically Ti-CP2...

BACKGROUND Heatwaves could cause the population excess death numbers to be ranged from tens to thousands within a couple of weeks in a local area. An excess mortality due to a special event (e.g., a heatwave or an epidemic outbreak) is estimated by subtracting the mortality figure under 'normal' conditions from the historical daily mortality records. The calculation of the excess mortality is a...

In this paper, we investigate eligibility of trend extraction through the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and performance improvement of applying the ensemble EMD (EEMD) instead of the EMD for trend extraction from seasonal time series. The proposed method is an approach that can be applied on any time series with any time scales fluctuations. In order to evaluate our algorithm, experimental...
