Therefore, the objective of the paper is to select the optimal investment portfolio from SP500 stock market and CBOE Interest Rate 10-Year Bond to obtain the minimum risk in the financial market. For this purpose, the paper consists of: 1) the marginal density distribution of the two financial assets is described with kernel density estimation to get the \"high-picky and fat-tail\" shape; 2) the relation structure of assets is studied with copula function to describe the correlation of financial assets in a nonlinear condition; 3) value at risk (VaR) is computed through the combination of Copula method and Monte Carlo simulation to measure the possible maximum loss better. Therefore, through the above three steps methodology, the risk of the portifolio is described more accuratIy than the conventional method, which always underestimates the risk in the finicial market. So it is necessary to pay attention to the happening of extreme cases like \"Black Friday 2008\" and appropriate investment allocation is a wise strategy to make diversification and spread risks in financial market.","PeriodicalId":350883,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121191968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The publications devoted to the mention problem in last decade have dealt with the basic methods of ultra-wideband radar signal processing intent mostly on detection, localization and tracking of moving persons under simple scenarios. In this paper, we will deal with detection, localization and tracking of persons moving through an area where strong and large reflectors of electromagnetic waves are situated. We will show that this complex environment leads to so-called defective localization of target when the number of the targets and the target positions are wrongly estimated. In this paper, we will explain the origin of this effect and propose a new extended method of background subtraction capable to suppress markedly the impact of the mentioned reflectors on reliability and accuracy of a standard procedure of radar signal processing applied for detection, localization, and tracking of moving persons.","PeriodicalId":350883,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121723172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an effective Built-in Self-Test (BIST) method of Charge-Pump Phase-Locked Loops (CP-PLL) which is a mixed-signal circuit widely used in most of SoCs. This BIST will use the existing circuits units as test device in the test mode. It can be easily implemented with several logic gates combined with some delay units and the test output is purely digital. The simulation results show higher fault coverage and lower area overhead than that of previous test methods. Thus it provides an efficient structural test which is suitable for a production test.","PeriodicalId":350883,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131220976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper an adaptively undersampled image processing method for fast multiline laser detection has been proposed. The combination of adaptive undersampling and multiline laser detection significantly reduces the calculation operations, needed for laser line detections, thus making this method highly suitable for limited embedded platforms. This method has been tested with real multiline laser images on pavement surface, on 4 different computing platforms and the results are presented at the end of the paper.","PeriodicalId":350883,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123893805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For approximation problems, as the role of the model is a nonlinear interpolator, the training data should cover the whole range where the model must be used, i.e., the samples belonging to the convex hull of the data should belong to the training set. Convex hull is also widely applied in reducing training data for SVM classification. The determination of the samples in the convex-hull of a set of high dimensions, however, is a time-complex task.
