This paper gives the quantitative relationship between prediction error and given past sample size in our research of sea level time series. The present result exhibits that the prediction error of sea level time series in terms of given past sample size follows decayed power functions, providing a quantitative guideline for the quality control of sea level prediction.

We study distribution free, nonparametric prediction bands with a special focus on their finite sample behavior. First we investigate and develop different notions of finite sample coverage guarantees. Then we give a new prediction band estimator by combining the idea of “conformal prediction” (Vovk et al., 2009) with nonparametric conditional density estimation. The proposed estimator, called ...

Bankruptcy prediction is one of the major business classification problems. The main purpose of this study is to investigate Kohonen self-organizing feature map in term of performance accuracy in the area of bankruptcy prediction.  A sample of 108 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange is used for the study. Our results confirm that Kohonen network is a robust model for predicting bankruptcy in ...

For there are few samples of water inrush from coal floor, how to dig wider information under the circumstance of limited sample data is to improve the prediction accuracy of water inrush form coal floor. Therefore, prediction model of water inrush is established based on correlation analysis and support vector machine (SVM). Not only does the model simplify the influenced indexes to construct ...

The non-linearities in waveand slamming-induced rigid-body motions and structural responses of ships such as heave, pitch and vertical bending moments are consistently investigated based on a rational timedomain strip method (Xia, Wang and Jensen, 1998). A hydrodynamic model for predicting sectional green water force is also outlined for the investigation of the effect of green water loads on t...

this study was carried out to determine regression equations for prediction of apparent metabolizable energy corrected by nitrogen (amen) using 11 barley cultivar (valfajr, karon, bahman, aras, dasht, afzal, zarjo, kavir, reihani, makui and yousef) the seeds obtain from alborz province, iran. all of the cultivar were analyzed based on proximate analysis, starch, ndf and adf. result showed that ...

Training a robot that engages with people is challenging; it expensive to directly involve in the training process, which requires numerous data samples. This paper presents an alternative approach for resolving this problem. We propose human path prediction network (HPPN) generates user's future trajectory based on sequential actions and responses using recurrent-neural-network structure. Subs...
