Defense–Growth Causality: Considerations of Regime-Switching and Time- and Country-Varying Effects

This paper develops a panel smooth transition vector autoregressive model to investigate the economic growth–defense causality. This model simultaneously resolves the estimation problems of endogeneity, heterogeneity, and nonlinearity. Empirical results support that the causality is bidirectional, nonlinear, time- and country-varying. Economic growth has a negative impact on military spending and vice versa. The larger the HDI, the smaller the negative causality. Evidently, the increase in the level of country development can reduce the negative impact of military outlays on economic growth. Reducing the ratio of military spending to GDP is beneficial for countries with low HDI scores; however, moderately increasing the share of military expenditure is favorable for countries with extremely high HDI scores. Policy authority needs to set optimal education, health, and economic development shares of GDP for purchasing a maximum economic growth rate.

模拟电路中非零交叉情况下故障最小范围的确定方法

为确定模拟电路非零交叉情况下故障元件存在范围,提出了一种K故障下诊断的新方法。它是一种确定故障元件存在的最小范围的方法,即在十分现实的K故障下,确定能代表电路所有元件并给出在K故障假设下的最优可测试元件组,使故障定位工作只局限于该组元件。通过可测试值计算和规范式不确定性组与最优可测试成分组的确定,可以诊断故障元件的范围。     

海上远程精确打击体系作战能力评估指标空间建模方法研究

现代战争的信息化程度、复杂性和不确定性不断提高,对海上远程精确打击（LPSS）体系作战能力的评估提出了更高的要求．要想准确评估系统的作战能力,建立合理的LPSS体系作战能力评估指标体系非常关键．然而影响LPSS体系作战能力的指标繁多,指标间存在冗余和相关性,不同层次指标间还存在交叉性,直接采用这些指标会增加后续评估的时空复杂度．在创建LPSS体系作战能力评估指标体系的基础上,对评估指标空间的建模方法进行研究,创建了可供评估的数据样本空间,为后续对底层指标集合进行约简、降维处理奠定了基础．     

罐底渗漏的罐基油气质量分数探测法识别

油罐是油品储运的重要设备,罐底最易出现穿孔渗漏油现象,致使罐基内部油气质量分数高于正常值。以油库中柴油覆土罐群为例,研究并试验了根据罐基油气质量分数识别罐底渗漏的方法：分析罐基探漏孔位置分布并钻孔;多次探测罐基油气质量分数,根据探测数据识别各罐有无底部渗漏;为了便于以后检测油库时识别各罐有无渗漏,为各罐建立状态监测表,并将无渗漏的罐基油气质量分数最高值暂定为该类罐的安全值,低于该安全值的油罐可直接判定为无渗漏。实践结果证明,这种不开罐检测罐底渗漏油的方法可及时发现故障并采取措施,对储油安全具有重要意义。

On the effectiveness of top‐down strategy for forecasting autoregressive demands

We investigate the relative effectiveness of top‐down versus bottom‐up strategies for forecasting the demand of an item that belongs to a product family. The demand for each item in the family is assumed to follow a first‐order univariate autoregressive process. Under the top‐down strategy, the aggregate demand is forecasted by using the historical data of the family demand. The demand forecast for the items is then derived by proportional allocation of the aggregate forecast. Under the bottom‐up strategy, the demand forecast for each item is directly obtained by using the historical demand data of the particular item. In both strategies, the forecasting technique used is exponential smoothing. We analytically evaluate the condition under which one forecasting strategy is preferred over the other when the lag‐1 autocorrelation of the demand time series for all the items is identical. We show that when the lag‐1 autocorrelation is smaller than or equal to 1/3, the maximum difference in the performance of the two forecasting strategies is only 1%. However, if the lag‐1 autocorrelation of the demand for at least one of the items is greater than 1/3, then the bottom‐up strategy consistently outperforms the top‐down strategy, irrespective of the items' proportion in the family and the coefficient of correlation between the item demands. A simulation study reveals that the analytical findings hold even when the lag‐1 autocorrelation of the demand processes is not identical. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

风险偏好的区间值灰色模糊综合评判及其应用

由于被评判对象有时会带有某些不确定性以及信息量的多少及充分程度不同,使得这些对象在某些评判指标上属于某个评语的程度-隶属度及其对应的灰度不再是一个确定的数,常常是一个范围,针对此特点,尝试用区间值来表示灰度.引入一种反映风险偏好的风险指标,以此对评判结果灰度进行处理,定义了信息充分程度转化公式,利用其将评判结果转化为区间值集合,在此基础上建立了风险偏好的区间值灰色模糊综合评判的数学模型,并给出了它在方案优选中的应用.实例结果表明,这种方法是合理的、可行的、有效的.
