Abstract Motif-based graph local clustering (MGLC) algorithms are generally designed with the two-phase framework, which gets the motif weight for each edge beforehand and then conducts the local clustering algorithm on the weighted graph to output the result. Despite correctness, this framework brings limitations on both practical and theoretical aspects and is less applicable in real interactive situations. This research develops a purely local and index-adaptive method, Index-adaptive Triangle-based Graph Local Clustering (TGLC+), to solve the MGLC problem w.r.t. triangle. TGLC+ combines the approximated Monte-Carlo method Triangle-based Random Walk (TRW) and deterministic Brute-Force method Triangle-based Forward Push (TFP) adaptively to estimate… More >

Abstract The spacecraft equipment layout optimization design (SELOD) problems with complicated performance constraints and diversity are studied in this paper. The previous literature uses the gradient-based algorithm to obtain optimized non-overlap layout schemes from randomly initialized cases effectively. However, these local optimal solutions are too difficult to jump out of their current relative geometry relationships, significantly limiting their further improvement in performance indicators. Therefore, considering the geometric diversity of layout schemes is put forward to alleviate this limitation. First, similarity measures, including modified cosine similarity and gaussian kernel function similarity, are introduced into the layout optimization process. Then the optimization produces… More >

Abstract Learning from imbalanced data is one of the greatest challenging problems in binary classification, and this problem has gained more importance in recent years. When the class distribution is imbalanced, classical machine learning algorithms tend to move strongly towards the majority class and disregard the minority. Therefore, the accuracy may be high, but the model cannot recognize data instances in the minority class to classify them, leading to many misclassifications. Different methods have been proposed in the literature to handle the imbalance problem, but most are complicated and tend to simulate unnecessary noise. In this paper, we propose a simple… More >

Abstract In network anomaly detection, network traffic data are often imbalanced, that is, certain classes of network traffic data have a large sample data volume while other classes have few, resulting in reduced overall network traffic anomaly detection on a minority class of samples. For imbalanced data, researchers have proposed the use of oversampling techniques to balance data sets; in particular, an oversampling method called the SMOTE provides a simple and effective solution for balancing data sets. However, current oversampling methods suffer from the generation of noisy samples and poor information quality. Hence, this study proposes an oversampling method for imbalanced… More >

Abstract In reliability analysis, the stress-strength model is often used to describe the life of a component which has a random strength (X) and is subjected to a random stress (Y). In this paper, we considered the problem of estimating the reliability R=P [Y<X] when the distributions of both stress and strength are independent and follow exponentiated Pareto distribution. The maximum likelihood estimator of the stress strength reliability is calculated under simple random sample, ranked set sampling and median ranked set sampling methods. Four different reliability estimators under median ranked set sampling are derived. Two estimators are obtained when both strength… More >

Abstract It is well known that economic policy uncertainty prompts the volatility of the high-yield bond market. However, the correlation between economic policy uncertainty and volatility of high-yield bonds is still not clear. In this paper, we employ GARCH-MIDAS models to investigate their correlation with US economic policy uncertainty index and S&P high-yield bond index. The empirical studies show that mixed volatility models can effectively capture the realized volatility of high-yield bonds, and economic policy uncertainty and macroeconomic factors have significant effects on the long-term component of high-yield bonds volatility.

Abstract Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is widely applied to estimate a probabilistic floor response spectrum (FRS) of nonlinear nuclear power plant (NPP) structure. ASCE 4-16 Standards recommend that the minimum number of simulations should be larger than 30 when using LHS. Although this recommendation is commonly used for the minimum number of the simulation, there is no theoretical background. The variability of the estimations may exist according to the number of the simulation. Stated differently, the minimum number of the simulation may be varied depending on the characteristics of the problem (i.e., problem-dependent). In this context, the required sample size of… More >
