Smoothing splines for trend estimation and prediction in time series
We consider the use of generalized additive models with correlated errors for analysing trends in time series. The trend is represented as a smoothing spline so that it can be extrapolated. A method is proposed for choosing the smoothing parameter. It is based on the ability to predict a short term into the future. The choice not only addresses the purpose in hand, but also performs very well, ...
متن کاملTest for linearity between continuous confounder and binary outcome first , run a multivariate regression analysis second
Previous statistical studies have indicated that dichotomizing a continuous confounding variable in multivariate regression analyses can lead to biased estimation of the effect of exposures, treatments, and risk factors on outcomes. We suggest that, prior to entry in the multivariate analysis, one should test whether or not the continuous confounding variable is linearly related to log-odds of ...
متن کاملControl vectors for splines
Traditionally, modelling using spline curves and surfaces is facilitated by control points. We propose to enhance the modelling process by the use of control vectors. This improves upon existing spline representations by providing such facilities as modelling with local (semi-sharp) creases, vanishing and diagonal features, and hierarchical editing. While our prime interest is in surfaces, most...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولTrend detection in control data: optimization and interpretation of Trigg's technique for trend analysis.
A method for trend detection, Trigg's technique [Oper. Res. Q. 15, 271 (1964)], has been investigated for use in monitoring trends in control data produced by multitest continuous-flow analyzers. Simulated trend data were used to optimize the method. Actual control data were analyzed retrospectively to determine the frequency of trends and the accuracy of several parameters obtained from Trigg'...
