Parameter Design Optimization of Products with an Ordinal Categorical Response Using Random Forests

2018-11-01
We propose an alternative method for finding optimal settings of product and process design parameters for the case of an ordinal categorical product/process response. The method utilizes Random Forests for modelling mean and variance of the response at a given set of parameter settings. The method uses different weighting strategies of Random Forest, and it is applied on three case problems. Results obtained are compared with those of previous studies that used the same data sets.

Residual based Adaptive Unscented Kalman filter for satellite attitude estimation
Söken, Halil Ersin (2012-12-01)
Determining the process noise covariance matrix in Kalman filtering applications is a difficult task especially for estimation problems of the high-dimensional states where states like biases or system parameters are included. This study introduces a simplistic residual based adaptation method for the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), which is used for small satellite attitude estimation. For a satellite with gyros and magnetometers onboard, the proposed adaptive UKF algorithm estimates the attitude as well as...
Frequency estimation of a single real-valued sinusoid: An invariant function approach
Candan, Çağatay; Çelebi, Utku (2021-08-01)
An invariant function approach for the computationally efficient (non-iterative and gridless) maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of unknown parameters is applied on the real-valued sinusoid frequency estimation problem. The main attraction point of the approach is its potential to yield a ML-like performance at a significantly reduced computational load with respect to conventional ML estimator that requires repeated evaluation of an objective function or numerical search routines. The numerical results ind...
Scale Normalization for Isometric Shape Matching
Sahillioğlu, Yusuf; Yemez, Y. (2012-09-01)
We address the scale problem inherent to isometric shape correspondence in a combinatorial matching framework. We consider a particular setting of the general correspondence problem where one of the two shapes to be matched is an isometric (or nearly isometric) part of the other up to an arbitrary scale. We resolve the scale ambiguity by finding a coarse matching between shape extremities based on a novel scale-invariant isometric distortion measure. The proposed algorithm also supports (partial) dense matc...
Neural network calibrated stochastic processes: forecasting financial assets
Giebel, Stefan; Rainer, Martin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-03-01)
If a given dynamical process contains an inherently unpredictable component, it may be modeled as a stochastic process. Typical examples from financial markets are the dynamics of prices (e.g. prices of stocks or commodities) or fundamental rates (exchange rates etc.). The unknown future value of the corresponding stochastic process is usually estimated as the expected value under a suitable measure, which may be determined from distribution of past (historical) values. The predictive power of this estimati...
Non-Linear Filtering based on Observations from Student's t Processes
Saha, Saikat; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2012-03-10)
We consider measurements from possibly zero-mean stochastic processes in a nonlinear filtering framework. This is a challenging problem, since it is only the second order properties of the measurements that bear information about the unknown state vector. The covariance function of the measurements can have both spatial and temporal correlation that depend on the state. Recently, a solution to this problem was presented for the case of Gaussian processes. We here extend the theory to Student's t processes. ...
