The “signature” of a coherent system and its application to comparisons among systems

Various methods and criteria for comparing coherent systems are discussed. Theoretical results are derived for comparing systems of a given order when components are assumed to have independent and identically distributed lifetimes. All comparisons rely on the representation of a system's lifetime distribution as a function of the system's “signature,” that is, as a function of the vector p= (p₁, … , p_n), where p_i is the probability that the system fails upon the occurrence of the ith component failure. Sufficient conditions are provided for the lifetime of one system to be larger than that of another system in three different senses: stochastic ordering, hazard rate ordering, and likelihood ratio ordering. Further, a new preservation theorem for hazard rate ordering is established. In the final section, the notion of system signature is used to examine a recently published conjecture regarding componentwise and systemwise redundancy. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

新冠肺炎动态病死率分析与疫情预测方法研究【专题】

新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎防控是国家安全体系的重要“战场”,疫情趋势预测是开展疫情科学防控和精准防控的重要基础。本文阐述了疫情动态病死率概念,分析了疫情动态病死率函数和时间曲线,提出了动态病死率发展的3个重要拐点,从动态病死率和新增确诊病人数两个维度,构建了拟合曲线函数,并对疫情发展趋势进行了预测。研究发现,截至2月10日,本次疫情动态病死率已经经过了第3个拐点,趋于稳定;预计到2月16日左右,新增确诊人数达到第3个拐点,进入缓慢下降期;预计2月底底至3月初,每日新增确诊人数将在1000人以内,全国最终的“病死率”将在2%～4%左右。该预测方法是一种运用系统外部特征信息来研判疫情发展规律的较为简便快捷的方法,对于科学预测疫情发展趋势具有一定的参考借鉴价值。     

一种新颖的并行级联LDPC码译码算法

针对传统的并行级联低密度奇偶校验码(PCGC)译码算法采用串行算法导致译码延迟大,难以在实时通信系统中应用的问题,提出了一种新颖的PCGC码译码算法,该算法通过对各子码进行并行消息迭代,对相同的信息位进行变量消息联合更新,实现了PCGC码的并行译码。理论分析和仿真结果表明,提出的PCGC码译码算法相较于传统译码算法译码延迟降低,信噪比较低时误码率性能弱于后者,信噪比较高时,误码率性能优于后者。     

When are observed failures more informative than observed survivals?

A framework involving independent competing risks permits observing failures due to a specific cause and failures due to a competing cause, which constitute survival times from the cause of primary interest. Is observing more failures more informative than observing survivals? Intuitively, due to the definitiveness of failures, the answer seems to be the former. However, it has been shown before that this intuition holds when estimating the mean but not the failure rate of the exponential model with a gamma prior distribution for the failure rate. In this article, we address this question at a more general level. We show that for a certain class of distributions failures can be more informative than survivals for prediction of life length and vice versa for some others. We also show that for a large class of lifetime models, failure is less informative than survival for estimating the proportional hazards parameter with gamma, Jeffreys, and uniform priors. We further show that, for this class of lifetime models, on average, failure is more informative than survival for parameter estimation and for prediction. These results imply that the inferential purpose and properties of the lifetime distribution are germane for conducting life tests. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2013     

平行度动态测量的新方法

平行度测量是舰船设备系统标校的前提,传统的平行度测量方法需要依赖\"星\"或\"标\"的配合,由于舰船所在位置的限制,可能不具备设置\"星\"或\"标\"的条件,利用夜空的星星也很受限。为克服环境条件对标校的限制,可以采用角速率陀螺作为传感器动态测量指向设备的平行度,推出了计算俯仰和旋回零位误差的公式,并对器件误差的影响进行了估算,计算结果说明现有的角速率陀螺器件的精度能满足本测量方法的需求。该研究成果可在舰船设备系统标校中运用,以克服传统方法依赖外界条件的难题。
