Clustering, Classification And Explanatory Rules From Harmonic Monitoring Data, Ali Asheibi, David A. Stirling, Danny Sutanto, D A. Robinson
Dr David Stirling
A method based on the successful AutoClass (Cheeseman & Stutz, 1996) and the Snob research programs (Wallace & Dowe, 1994); (Baxter & Wallace, 1996) has been chosen for our research work on harmonic classification. The method utilizes mixture models (McLachlan, 1992) as a representation of the formulated clusters. This research is principally based on the formation of such mixture models (typically based on Gaussian distributions) through a Minimum Message Length (MML) encoding scheme (Wallace & Boulton, 1968). During the formation of such mixture models the various derivative tools (algorithms) allow for the automated selection of the number of clusters and …

Analyzing Harmonic Monitoring Data Using Data Mining, Ali Asheibi, David A. Stirling, Danny Sutanto
Dr David Stirling
Harmonic monitoring has become an important tool for harmonic management in distribution systems. A comprehensive harmonic monitoring program has been designed and implemented on a typical electrical MV distribution system in Australia. The monitoring program involved measurements of the three-phase harmonic currents and voltages from the residential, commercial and industrial load sectors. Data over a three year period has been downloaded and available for analysis. The large amount of acquired data makes it difficult to identify operational events that impact significantly on the harmonics generated on the system. More sophisticated analysis methods are required to automatically determine which part of …

For large scale power quality surveys, the management of the large amount of data generated is a major issue. This paper presents solutions to three main areas of data management, viz. a data interchange format, database design and data processing. Consideration of these issues has come about as a result of the Long Term National Power Quality Survey currently being conducted by the University of Wollongong, and reference is made to that specific application for illustrative purposes.
Viewpoint Invariants From Three-Dimensional Data: The Role Of Reflection In Human Activity Understanding, Ramakrishna Kakarala, Prabhu Kaliamoorthi, Wanqing Li
Viewpoint Invariants From Three-Dimensional Data: The Role Of Reflection In Human Activity Understanding, Ramakrishna Kakarala, Prabhu Kaliamoorthi, Wanqing Li
Associate Professor Wanqing Li
Human activity understanding from three-dimensional data, such as from depth cameras, requires viewpoint-invariant matching. In this paper, we propose a new method of constructing invariants that allows distinction between isometries based on rotation, which preserve handedness, and those that involve reflection, which reverse right and left hands. The state-of-the-art in viewpoint invariants uses either global descriptors such as moments or spherical harmonic magnitudes, or relies on local methods such as feature matching. None of those methods are able to easily distinguish rotations from reflections, which is essential to understand left vs right handed gestures. We show that the distinction between …

Semi-Supervised Maximum A Posteriori Probability Segmentation Of Brain Tissues From Dual-Echo Magnetic Resonance Scans Using Incomplete Training Data, Wanqing Li, P Ogunbona, C Desilva, Y Attikiouzel
Associate Professor Wanqing Li
This study presents a stochastic framework in which incomplete training data are used to boost the accuracy of segmentation and to optimise segmentation when images under consideration are corrupted by inhomogeneities. The authors propose a semi-supervised maximum a posteriori probability (ssMAP) segmentation method that is able to utilise any amount of training data that are usually insufficient for supervised segmentation. The ssMAP unifies supervised and unsupervised segmentation and takes the two as its special cases. To deal with inhomogeneities, the authors propose to incorporate a bias field into the ssMAP and present an algorithm (referred to as ssMAPe) for simultaneous …

Privacy Enhanced Data Outsourcing In The Cloud, Miao Zhou, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo, Jun Yan, Liju Dong
Dr Jun Yan
How to secure outsourcing data in cloud computing is a challenging problem, since a cloud environment cannot been considered to be trusted. The situation becomes even more challenging when outsourced data sources in a cloud environment are managed by multiple outsourcers who hold different access rights. In this paper, we introduce an efficient and novel tree-based key management scheme that allows a data source to be accessed by multiple parties who hold different rights. We ensure that the database remains secure, while some selected data sources can be securely shared with other authorized parties.

An Effective Data Aggregation Based Adaptive Long Term Cpu Load Predictions Mechanism On Computational Grid, Fang Dong, Junzhou Luo, Aibo Song, Jiuxin Cao, Jun Shen
Dr Jun Shen
With the development of Internet-based technologies and the rapid growth of scientific computing applications, Grid computing becomes more and more attractive. Generally, the execution time of a CPU-intensive task on a certain resource is tightly related to the CPU load on this resource. In order to estimate the task execution time more accurately to achieve an effective task scheduling, it is significant to make an effective long-term load prediction in dynamic Grid environments. Nevertheless, as the prediction errors will be gradually accumulated while the best values of prediction parameters may vary vigorously, the existing prediction algorithms usually fail to achieve …

Fixed Rank Filtering For Spatio-Temporal Data, Noel Cressie, Tao Shi, Emily L. Kang
Fixed Rank Filtering For Spatio-Temporal Data, Noel Cressie, Tao Shi, Emily L. Kang
Professor Noel Cressie
Datasets from remote-sensing platforms and sensor networks are often spatial, temporal, and very large. Processing massive amounts of data to provide current estimates of the (hidden) state from current and past data is challenging, even for the Kalman filter. A large number of spatial locations observed through time can quickly lead to an overwhelmingly high-dimensional statistical model. Dimension reduction without sacrificing complexity is our goal in this article. We demonstrate how a Spatio-Temporal Random Effects (STRE) component of a statistical model reduces the problem to one of fixed dimension with a very fast statistical solution, a methodology we call Fixed …

Estimating Shared Copy Number Aberrations For Array Cgh Data: The Linear-Median Method, Yan-Xia Lin, Veera Baladandayuthapani, V Bonato, K.-A. Do
Associate Professor Yan-Xia Lin
Motivation: Existing methods for estimating copy number variations in array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data are limited to estimations of the gain/loss of chromosome regions for single sample analysis. We propose the linear-median method for estimating shared copy numbers in DNA sequences across multiple samples, demonstrate its operating characteristics through simulations and applications to real cancer data, and compare it to two existing methods.
Results: Our proposed linear-median method has the power to estimate common changes that appear at isolated single probe positions or very short regions. Such changes are hard to detect by current methods. This new …

On The Design Of Early Generation Variety Trials With Correlated Data, Brian Cullis, A Smith, N. Coombes
Professor Brian Cullis
This article considers the design of early generation variety trials with a prespecified spatial correlation structure and introduces a new class of partially replicated designs called p-rep designs in which the plots of standard varieties are replaced by additional plots of test lines. We show how efficient p-rep designs can be readily generated using the modified Reactive TABU search algorithm. The expected and realized genetic gain of p-rep and grid plot designs is compared in a simulation study.

The Analysis Of Longitudinal Data Using Mixed Model L-Splines, S. Welham, Brian Cullis, M. Kenward, R Thompson
Professor Brian Cullis
L-splines are a large family of smoothing splines defined in terms of a linear differential operator. This article develops L-splines within the context of linear mixed models and uses the resulting mixed model L-spline to analyze longitudinal data from a grassland experiment. In the spirit of time-series analysis, a periodic mixed model L-spline is developed, which partitions data into a smooth periodic component plus smooth long-term trend.
