Ngsseml: Non-Gaussian State Space With Exact Marginal Likelihood, Thiago R. Santos, Glaura C. Franco, Dani Gamerman
The R Journal
The number of packages/software for Gaussian State Space models has increased over recent decades. However, there are very few codes available for non-Gaussian State Space (NGSS) models due to analytical intractability that prevents exact calculations. One of the few tractable exceptions is the family of NGSS with exact marginal likelihood, named NGSSEML. In this work, we present the wide range of data formats and distributions handled by NGSSEML and a package in the R language to perform classical and Bayesian inference for them. Special functions for filtering, forecasting, and smoothing procedures and the exact calculation of the marginal likelihood function …

The R Journal
Multidimensional scaling (MDS), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and discriminant analysis (DA) are classical techniques which deal with data made of n individuals and p variables. When the individuals are divided into T groups, the R package dad associates with each group a multivariate probability density function and then carries out these techniques on the densities, which are estimated by the data under consideration. These techniques are based on distance measures between densities: chi-square, Hellinger, Jeffreys, Jensen-Shannon, and Lp for discrete densities, Hellinger , Jeffreys, L2 , and 2-Wasserstein for Gaussian densities, and L2 for numeric non-Gaussian densities …

Estimating Social Influence Effects In Networks Using A Latent Space Adjusted Approach In R, Ran Xu
The R Journal
Social influence effects have been extensively studied in various empirical network research. However, many challenges remain in estimating social influence effects in networks, as influence effects are often entangled with other factors, such as homophily in the selection process and the common social-environmental factors that individuals are embedded in. Methods currently available either do not solve these problems or require stringent assumptions. Recent works by Xu (2018) and others have shown that a latent space adjusted approach based on the latent space model has the potential to disentangle the influence effects from other processes, and the simulation evidence has shown …

G2f As A Novel Tool To Find And Fill Gaps In Metabolic Networks, Daniel Osorio, Kelly Botero, Andrés Pinzón Velasco, Nicolás Mendoza-Mejía, Felipe Rojas-Rodríguez, George Barreto, Janneth González
The R Journal
During the building of a genome-scale metabolic model, there are several dead-end metabolites and substrates which cannot be imported, produced, nor used by any reaction incorporated in the network. The presence of these dead-end metabolites can block out the net flux of the objective function when it is evaluated through Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), and when it is not blocked, bias in the biological conclusions increase. In this aspect, the refinement to restore the connectivity of the network can be carried out manually or using computational algorithms. The g2f package was designed as a tool to find the gaps from …

Component Damage Source Identification For Critical Infrastructure Systems, Nathan Davis
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are becoming increasingly prevalent for both Critical Infrastructure and the Industry 4.0 initiative. Bad values within components of the software portion of CPS, or the computer systems, have the potential to cause major damage if left unchecked, and so detection and locating of where these occur is vital. We further define features of these computer systems and create a use-based system topology. We then introduce a function to monitor system integrity and the presence of bad values as well as an algorithm to locate them. We then show an improved version, taking advantage of several system properties …
Risk-Based Machine Learning Approaches For Probabilistic Transient Stability,

Risk-Based Machine Learning Approaches For Probabilistic Transient Stability, Umair Shahzad
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Power systems are getting more complex than ever and are consequently operating close to their limit of stability. Moreover, with the increasing demand of renewable wind generation, and the requirement to maintain a secure power system, the importance of transient stability cannot be overestimated. Considering its significance in power system security, it is important to propose a different approach for enhancing the transient stability, considering uncertainties. Current deterministic industry practices of transient stability assessment ignore the probabilistic nature of variables (fault type, fault location, fault clearing time, etc.). These approaches typically provide a conservative criterion and can result in expensive …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be conducted to systematically analyze the contributions of genetic factors to a wide variety of complex diseases. Nevertheless, existing GWASs have provided highly ethnic specific data. Accordingly, to provide data specific to Taiwan, we established a large-scale genetic database in a single medical institution at the China Medical University Hospital. With current technological limitations, microarray analysis can detect only a limited number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a minor allele frequency of >1%. Nevertheless, imputation represents a useful alternative means of expanding data. In this study, we compared four imputation algorithms in terms of …

Abstract: Transitional passageway connecting subway stations and commercial facilities is generally designed as the multifunctional passageway, in which the traffic function is the main and the service function is the auxiliary. The impact of the service facilities on both sides of the passage on pedestrian traffic is difficult to be quantitatively analyzed and simulated and modeled. Through measurement, it is found that the viscous effect of service facilities on pedestrian traffic is mainly slowing down the speed or changing the trajectory direction. Through analyzing the horizontal influence range of service facilities, dividing the passage into different areas, and introducing the …

Abstract: A natural computing method based on spatial division search strategy is proposed. The strategy can map the high-dimensional space to the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system by grouping the dimensional space into a group of three dimensions. The individual after spatial segmentation is numbered into subindividual, to increases the particle number while reducing the dimension, thus the individual is distributed over wider search space to effectively increases the diversity of the population. The algorithm iterates to a certain extent and can synthesize the individual into the original individual through the numbered index. By calculating the fitness value, some poor …
