Choosing arrival process models for service systems: Tests of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process

Service systems such as call centers and hospital emergency rooms typically have strongly time‐varying arrival rates. Thus, a nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) is a natural model for the arrival process in a queueing model for performance analysis. Nevertheless, it is important to perform statistical tests with service system data to confirm that an NHPP is actually appropriate, as emphasized by Brown et al. [8]. They suggested a specific statistical test based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) statistic after exploiting the conditional‐uniform (CU) property to transform the NHPP into a sequence of i.i.d. random variables uniformly distributed on [0,1] and then performing a logarithmic transformation of the data. We investigate why it is important to perform the final data transformation and consider what form it should take. We conduct extensive simulation experiments to study the power of these alternative statistical tests. We conclude that the general approach of Brown et al. [8] is excellent, but that an alternative data transformation proposed by Lewis [22], drawing upon Durbin [10], produces a test of an NHPP test with consistently greater power. We also conclude that the KS test after the CU transformation, without any additional data transformation, tends to be best to test against alternative hypotheses that primarily differ from an NHPP only through stochastic and time dependence. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A spatial rank‐based multivariate EWMA control chart

Nonparametric control charts are useful in statistical process control when there is a lack of or limited knowledge about the underlying process distribution, especially when the process measurement is multivariate. This article develops a new multivariate self‐starting methodology for monitoring location parameters. It is based on adapting the multivariate spatial rank to on‐line sequential monitoring. The weighted version of the rank‐based test is used to formulate the charting statistic by incorporating the exponentially weighted moving average control scheme. It is robust to non‐normally distributed data, easy to construct, fast to compute and also very efficient in detecting multivariate process shifts, especially small or moderate shifts which occur when the process distribution is heavy‐tailed or skewed. As it avoids the need for a lengthy data‐gathering step before charting and it does not require knowledge of the underlying distribution, the proposed control chart is particularly useful in start‐up or short‐run situations. A real‐data example from white wine production processes shows that it performs quite well. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 59: 91–110, 2012     

基于双向启发式属性约简的战术决策建模研究

从预警机指挥引导的多机协同空战原则分析出发,针对超视距协同空战决策过程中的不确定性和不完备性问题,提出了一种不完备信息系统中的基于双向启发式属性约简的战术粗决策建模方法。首先考虑粗糙集决策过程中条件属性发生缺失或不确定的情况,根据扩展不完备信息概念建立了不完备决策信息系统的最优完备选择;其次基于分辨矩阵的属性约简算法,以属性频度的大小作为启发信息进行决策信息系统约简的双向选择,得出决策信息系统的最佳约简集合;然后依据使决策最有可能发生的原则,给出决策信息系统的最优选择,以该最优选择为代表提取出决策规则;最后根据软、硬杀伤结合使用的CGF实体超视距协同空战作战想定,建立了CGF实体综合战术决策模型,并通过作战决策实例对该方法的正确性和有效性进行了验证。结果表明：该方法能在作战态势信息不完备的情况下正确给出CGF实体综合战术行为。

基于Matlab仿真的当前统计模型的参数校正

当前统计模型能真实地反映目标机动范围和强度的变化,是目前较好的实用模型。大量实验表明该算法在跟踪机动目标时具有良好的跟踪结果。然而实验中也发现该算法在跟踪具有加速度的目标机动情况时,其速度与加速度估计的动态时延明显位置误差较大,因此不能很好地实时反映目标的机动情况。因此需要进行新的调整参数的设定与比较,使其克服以上的缺点,文章借鉴强跟踪滤波器,在滤波器状态预测协方差矩阵中引入了加权因子并利用M atlab仿真技术,针对当前统计模型中对动态时延影响比较大的几个重要参数,进行了仿真对比和调整。跟踪结果表明:动态时延明显减小,位置误差大幅下降,达到了比较理想的跟踪效果。

秘密监听原则探析

秘密监听对公民宪法所保障的权利和自由产生了威胁,但是对侦查日益智能化的犯罪又是不可或缺的证据收集方式。从适应刑事庭审方式对证据要求的角度对秘密监听加以规范,使其以最小化的侵犯公民权利、自由的方式,达到证据收集效率的最优化,使以秘密监听收集方式获得的证据不致因违法而被排除在法庭之外,就必须从理论上解决秘密监听的法理依据及其密切相关的强迫自证其罪与拒绝证言权等问题,并使其能够最终成为定案的依据。
