To meet the demand of multi-dimensional copula construction, an easily engineering -based multi-dimensional Archimedean copula construction method has been proposed in this paper. Specific construction procedures, proof and construction examples are given. From these, the method proposed takes the advantages of NEA method and PCC method and could describe the relevancy relationship among the different dependent structures. Besides, it is simple and easy to use in the engineering applications where copula methods are used.","PeriodicalId":410500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 1st International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132475702","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}

Imposing a commutativity condition on them, we get a new class of mixed models, called models with commutative orthogonal block structure, COBS. This commutativity condition of COBS is a necessary and sufficient condition for the least square estimators, LSE, to be best linear unbiased estimators, BLUE, whatever the variance components. We present a review of three techniques that enable us to analyze complex models, designed from simpler ones, emphasizing the conditions of applicability of each of them, their limitations and advantages. The techniques, that consist in models crossing, models nesting and models joining, rests on the algebraic structure of the models and binary operations on commutative Jordan Algebras of symmetric matrices. Since crossing, nesting or joining COBS we obtain new COBS, the good properties of estimators hold for the resulting models.","PeriodicalId":410500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 1st International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121837408","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}

A successful deep learning application highly depends on an effective training neural network method. Currently, the first-order methods, e.g. stochastic gradient descent method may be the most widely-used method due to its simplicity and generally good performance. However, the first methods possess varied weakness, like lower convergence rate and easily stalking around saddle points for the nonconvex neural network problem. The second-order method, on the other hand, can address these issues by utilizing second derivative information, but the high computational cost of computing second-derivative information limits its usage. Based on these motivations, we design a new training schema that combine the advantages of first and second methods, meanwhile eliminate their disadvantages. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we test the new method on dataset, cifar-10. The results show the new approach performs as our desired.","PeriodicalId":410500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 1st International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132678412","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 former is to convert the original full-rank pixel matrix to a well-approximated low-rank matrix and thus dramatically save the space, the latter is to recover a pixel matrix with a large number of missing entries by using nuclear norm minimization, in which some singular value thresholding algorithm will be used.

However, existing VaR backtesting methods are repeatedly criticized due to unsatisfactory power properties. Our contribution to the debate is the exploration of the properties of the exponential autoregressive conditional duration (EACD) model in the context of backtesting VaR. We show that the EACD test, although exhibiting strong power, suffers from size distortions when the true parameter is near or at the boundary of the parameter space. To remedy this problem we suggest asymptotic p-value computation with the use of the mixture of the chi square distributions. We obtain a procedure that is both accurate and computationally effective. We show that it has the potential to improve effectiveness of detecting incorrect risk models.","PeriodicalId":410500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 1st International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129711611","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}

To this end, a deterministic model describing the dynamics of the phlebotomine sand fly population is presented. The global stability of the sand fly free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium are proved and the basic offspring number, which represents the capacity of sand fly reproduction, is derived. Sensitivity analyses on basic offspring number and the endemic equilibrium with respect to the model parameters are carried out. The most sensitive parameters are considered, afterwards, temperature-dependent to show the influence of temperature on the population size of phlebotomine sand flies. It has been shown that the sand fly population cannot be maintained in an area when the temperature is below 15°C or when it exceeds 32°C, and the optimum temperature for reaching the high Phlebotomus papatasi population densities was found to be 28°C. This knowledge would assist decision-makers in identifying and selecting the most suitable strategies timely.","PeriodicalId":410500,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 1st International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127136225","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}
