Replicated batch means for steady‐state simulations

This paper studies a new steady‐state simulation output analysis method called replicated batch means in which a small number of replications are conducted and the observations in these replications are grouped into batches. This paper also introduces and compares methods for selecting the initial state of each replication. More specifically, we show that confidence intervals constructed by the replicated batch means method are valid for large batch sizes and derive expressions for the expected values and variances of the steady‐state mean and variance estimators for stationary processes and large sample sizes. We then use these expressions, analytical examples, and numerical experiments to compare the replicated batch means method with the standard batch means and multiple replications methods. The numerical results, which are obtained from an AR(1) process and a small, nearly‐decomposable Markov chain, show that the multiple replications method often gives confidence intervals with poorer coverage than the standard and replicated batch means methods and that the replicated batch means method, implemented with good choices of initialization method and number of replications, provides confidence interval coverages that range from being comparable with to being noticeably better than coverages obtained by the standard batch means method. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The virtual dimension of contemporary insurgency and counterinsurgency

This paper looks at the virtual dimension of contemporary insurgency and counterinsurgency. It argues that the West is faltering in the ‘War of Ideas’ with global Jihad for the main reason that the messages that we wish to convey lack narrative coherence. This is a result of the fact that we misapprehend the nature of the virtual operational environment whereas our opponents possess an intuitive grasp of it as a result of which their structure and method of operations are better adapted and more effective than our own. There is no reason, beyond inertia, that this should remain the case.     

机动飞行条件下基于SIFFBP算法的机载UWB SAR成像

机动飞行条件下,运动误差的幅度较大,频域运动补偿精度难以满足机载超宽带合成孔径雷达(UWB SAR)高精度成像的要求,需要采用精确的时域后向投影(Back Projection,BP)算法,然而原始BP算法的巨大计算量限制了其实际应用。提出了一种基于子图像快速因式分解BP(Sub-image Fast Factorized BackProjection,SIFFBP)算法的机动飞行条件下机载UWB SAR成像方案,并对其子孔径和子图像划分的约束关系进行了推导,给出了算法步骤,并分析了算法的计算量。仿真和实测数据处理结果表明,SIFFBP算法能够在保证处理精度的同时,大幅度提高处理效率,非常适合于机动飞行条件下的机载UWB SAR成像处理。     

基于ARMA辨识的色噪系统状态参数鲁棒估计

实际环境中观测系统的噪声,同时存在着白噪、色噪声和尖点噪声的影响.已有的研究都仅考虑白噪或色噪声,首次将实际系统中可能出现的所有噪声纳入观测方程,推导出统一的带白噪形式的观测方程.新观测方程在色噪声ARMA辨识基础上,可以直接用于传统的卡尔曼滤波算法,避免了扩维滤波.于是状态参数的稳健估计归结为ARMA参数的辨识.重点研究了自由参数选取与输入噪声之间的关系,将鲁棒支持向量回归机的优化问题转换成最大后验估计问题,为合理选择自由参数提供了理论依据.仿真结果验证了新算法的有效性.

Comparison between constant‐stress and step‐stress accelerated life tests under Time Constraint

By running life tests at higher stress levels than normal operating conditions, accelerated life testing (ALT) quickly yields information on the lifetime distribution of a test unit. The lifetime at the design stress is then estimated through extrapolation using a regression model. In constant‐stress testing, a unit is tested at a fixed stress level until failure or the termination time point of test, whereas step‐stress testing allows the experimenter to gradually increase the stress levels at some prefixed time points during the test. In this work, the optimal k‐level constant‐stress and step‐stress ALTs are compared for the exponential failure data under complete sampling and Type‐I censoring. The objective is to quantify the advantage of using the step‐stress testing relative to the constant‐stress one. Assuming a log‐linear life–stress relationship with the cumulative exposure model for the effect of changing stress in step‐stress testing, the optimal design points are determined under C/D/A‐optimality criteria. The efficiency of step‐stress testing to constant‐stress one is then discussed in terms of the ratio of optimal objective functions based on the information matrix. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
