Modelling the Drinking Patterns of Young Pigs Using a State Space Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In normal situations pigs show a stable diurnal drinking pattern. Based on experimental data a dynamic model is developed for prediction of the drinking behavior of growing pigs. A state space model with cyclic components is proposed for modelling the diurnal drinking pattern, measured as hourly sums. Determination of variance structure by use of discount factors is suggested. Model performance is investigated by error analysis. The final model contains three cyclic components.

A Model for Detection of Changes in the Drinking Behaviour of Young Pigs
This contribution describes a method for monitoring the condition of young pigs by measuring their water intake. Water flow-meters and micro computers have been installed in 4 production units for young pigs, located on 3 different farms in Denmark. Water consumption data was aggregated into 1 hour intervals. The pigs showed a very stabile diurnal drinking pattern as long as they were healthy w...
متن کاملA Model for Monitoring the Condition of Young Pigs by their Drinking Behaviour
A uniform water or feed consumption pattern is required for assessment of changes in pig health and well-being. Water consumption rate was measured and monitored continuously in pigs from 4 to 11 weeks of age. The study comprised three herds and 18 batches of pigs each with 400-900 animals. The management system was “all-in all-out”. Water consumption was measured electronically and data were t...

Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
متن کاملModeling Stock Return Volatility Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Nonlinear State Space Models: Case of Tehran Stock Market
Volatility is a measure of uncertainty that plays a central role in financial theory, risk management, and pricing authority. Turbulence is the conditional variance of changes in asset prices that is not directly observable and is considered a hidden variable that is indirectly calculated using some approximations. To do this, two general approaches are presented in the literature of financial ...
