Military Spending,Conflict and External Debt in Sub-Saharan Africa

The damaging economic effects of the debt crises on Africa in the late 1980s encouraged considerable research on the determinants of external debt in developing economies. Although sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA) debt was cut by two-thirds by 2008, through two debt relief programmes, debt in the region has since been rising at an increasingly rapid pace. This study provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of external debt in SSA over the period 1960–2016, using dynamic panel methods. It also considers two potentially important factors that have received relatively little attention. One is military spending, rarely considered, despite a number of well-publicised scandals over the procurement of unnecessary and expensive high-tech weapons systems. A second, is the possibility that the countries studied have been involved in conflict. The empirical results point to a positive impact of military spending on external debt, but with some evidence of heterogeneity across the countries. Furthermore, findings indicate that the positive effect of military expenditure on debt becomes more marked in countries that have been affected by conflict. These results imply that policies to improve security and reduce military spending could be beneficial in reducing external debt and, potentially, improving economic performance in the region.     

阵列雷达自适应多零点单脉冲群目标测角算法

针对阵列体制雷达,由极大似然估计导出自适应多零点单脉冲测角原理。分析发现迭代步长过大导致双零点单脉冲技术在多目标条件下失效,因此提出加权步长改进角度估计的迭代过程,只需要较少计算量就能实现群内多个目标的精确测角。仿真结果表明：该算法在较高信噪比条件下可以精确测量群内三个目标角度,测角误差约为0.15倍波束宽度;当群目标数较多或者目标相位差接近于0时,算法性能下降明显。     

基于马氏距离的飞行缺失数据估计方法

针对基于欧式距离的最近邻居的缺失值估计算法的不足,提出了一种基于马氏距离的估计算法来估计飞行数据集中的缺失数据.该算法通过飞行数据之间的马氏距离来选择最近邻居数据,并将已得到的估计值应用到后续的估计过程中,然后采用信息熵来计算最近邻居的加权系数,得到缺失数据的估计值.仿真结果表明该算法优于基于欧式距离的最近邻居缺失值处理算法,是一种有效的飞行数据缺失值估计方法.

Warranty claims modeling

A company wishes to estimate or predict its financial exposure in a reporting period of length T (typically one quarter) because of warranty claims. We propose a fairly general random measure model which allows computation of the Laplace transform of the total claim made against the company in the reporting interval due to warranty claims. When specialized to a Poisson process of both sales and warranty claims, statistical estimation of relevant quantities is possible. The methodology is illustrated by analyzing automobile sales and warranty claims data from a large car manufacturer for a single car model and model year. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

一种舰载机下滑道一致性指示数据产生方法

针对现有航母起降引导系统下滑道真值测量手段过于复杂的现状,提出一种简单的航母起降引导系统下滑道一致性指示数据产生方法,该方法基于着舰引导雷达测距精度、中线电视测角精度较高的特点,利用着舰引导雷达测距信息和中线电视测角信息进行目标位置解算。采取泰勒级数展开法对非线性方程组线性化,并以着舰引导雷达定位结果作为迭代始值,进行迭代运算求取目标位置。通过仿真实验验证该方法迭代次数较少且收敛,相比着舰引导雷达定位方法,具有更高的定位精度。     

基于图像信息的多特征空间坦克姿态估计

坦克作为地面战场的主要目标,分析其姿态至关重要。根据坦克姿态估计的需要,在可见光条件下采集了坦克车体纵轴与瞄准镜光轴不同夹角的图像作为训练集。利用主成分分析法选取了目标的主要特征向量,每个训练子集用3个特征向量表示,利用少量的特征向量建立目标的8个特征空间,降低了空间的维数。设计判别准则将待识别目标向量与重构向量之间的余弦值进行比较,即确定目标所在的空间位置,完成了目标姿态的识别。实验结果表明,利用建立目标多特征空间的方法识别目标空间位置是有效的。
