At the same period, cumulated 3-point least squared linear prediction (C3LSP) alternatively confronts the opposite situation, i.e. underestimation. Nevertheless, a method of combining both preceding models is proposed for resolving the overshoot and underestimation phenomena significantly that is hybrid BPNN-weighted GREY-C3LSP prediction (BWGC) model. However, some predicted outcomes resulted from BWGC are not accurate enough as few observations deviate far away from both GM and C3LSP outputs. Thus, compensation is figured out to deal with the time-varying variance of the residuals in BWGC. That is, incorporating a non-linear generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (NGARCH) into BWGC is applied, and then adaptive support vector regression (ASVR) is employed for tuning the appropriate coefficients for both BWGC and NGARCH to effectively improve the predictive accuracy.","PeriodicalId":50187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Grey System","volume":"59 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2006-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70062214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classes and paths are both used Yamaguchi's grey relational grade, since it is more suitable to find the topology of given elements.

With a view to bypassing the tedious laboratory task in measuring the natural frequencies related to these 81 combinations of those influential factors, a finite-element model with the aid of ANSYS package is established for the computer simulation instead. Of the four significant variables under investigation, the helical angle is found to be the most influential one for the first four natural frequencies, two for longitudinal modes, and two for bending modes, respectively.

Limited availability of effect data (historical and estimated) for both alternatives is hampering long-term strategic analysis of their potential effects. This paper investigates the use of a first-order and one- variable grey model, denoted as GM (1,1), to forecast the trend of the reduction of traffic accident severity (in terms of fatalities and hospitalisations) through mentioned strategies and combinations thereof. Based on modelling the limited available data of the effects of the infrastructure redesign programme in The Netherlands for the period 1998-2002, we forecast the trend of fatalities and hospitalisations for the years 2003 until 2010. The result is compared with other traffic safety enhancement scenarios by using cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). Error analysis shows that the applied model has a high degree of reliability. Therefore, the method (grey model and CEA) and the outcome of the analysis may contribute to planning and decision making concerning further appropriate steps to reach the ambitious Dutch road traffic safety goals for 2010.","PeriodicalId":50187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Grey System","volume":"8 1","pages":"157-166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70062032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
