What Goes Up Must Come Down? Experimental Evidence on Intuitive Forecasting

Do laboratory subjects correctly perceive the dynamics of a mean-reverting time series? In our experiment, subjects receive historical data and make forecasts at different horizons. The time series process that we use features short-run momentum and long-r ...

Refined Support and Entropic Uncertainty Inequalities

Benjamin Ricaud

Generalized versions of the entropic (Hirschman-Beckner) and support (Elad-Bruckstein) uncertainty principle are presented for frames representations. Moreover, a sharpened version of the support inequality is obtained by introducing a generalization of th ...

Sizing Studies for Detecting Graphical Models

Stephan Morgenthaler, Maya Shevlyakova

The ability to identify reliably a positive or negative partial correlation between the expression levels of two genes is determined by the number p of genes, the number n of analyzed samples, and the statistical properties of the measurements. Classical s ...

Lower and upper bounds for approximation of the Kullback-Leibler divergence between Gaussian Mixture Models

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Finnian Paul Kelly

Many speech technology systems rely on Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). The need for a comparison between two GMMs arises in applications such as speaker verification, model selection or parameter estimation. For this purpose, the Kullback-Leibler (KL) dive ...

Image Retrieval in the Plenoptic Space

Alireza Ghasemi

In this report we study the ways to exploit the vast amount of information inherent in the plenoptic space and constraints of the plenoptic function to improve the efficiency of image retrieval, recognition and matching techniques. The plenoptic space is f ...

Multiphase mixed-integer optimal control framework for aircraft conflict avoidance

Maryam Kamgarpour

This paper formulates the problem of aircraft conflict avoidance as a multiphase mixed-integer optimal control problem. In order to find optimal maneuvers, accurate models of aircraft nonlinear dynamics and flight envelop constraints are used. Wind forecas ...

Accounting for Observational Uncertainty in Forecast Verification: An Information-Theoretical View on Forecasts, Observations, and Truth

Steven Vincent Weijs, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen

Recently, an information-theoretical decomposition of Kullback–Leibler divergence into uncertainty, reliability, and resolution was introduced. In this article, this decomposition is generalized to the case where the observation is uncertain. Along with a ...

Flood management in the Upper Rhone River basin: from forecast to decision

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

The MINERVE project of flood forecast and management upstream from Lake Geneva is nowadays operational. It aims to protect against inundations in the Rhone Valley, through the Valais and Vaud Cantons. Two main objectives are expected. The first is the hydr ...

A collaborative demand forecasting process with event-based fuzzy judgements

Philippe Wieser, Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Omar Ayadi

Mathematical forecasting approaches can lead to reliable demand forecast in some environments by extrapolating regular patterns in time-series. However, unpredictable events that do not appear in historical data can reduce the usefulness of mathematical fo ...

Continuous-Domain ARMA Modeling for Ultrasound Tissue Characterization

Michaël Unser, Simona Maggio

In this study, we investigate the possibility of applying a continuous-time ARMA (CARMA) model to radio-frequency ultrasound signals. We consider the effect of the discretization process on the parameters of the continuous system, and we take into account ...
