This paper introduces a first-order integer-valued autoregressive time series model. Parameters in this model are observation-dependent, and may follow a specific random distribution. The theoretical properties of point estimation, interval estimation, and parameter tests are presented, along with a demonstration of the model's ergodicity. Numerical simulations are employed to verify the properties. Subsequently, we present the model's functionality on practical datasets.
This paper investigates a two-parameter family of Stieltjes transformations connected to holomorphic Lambert-Tsallis functions, a two-parameter extension of the Lambert function. Eigenvalue distributions of random matrices, featuring certain growing, statistically sparse models, reveal the presence of Stieltjes transformations. A crucial condition on the parameters, both necessary and sufficient, is provided to characterize the corresponding functions as Stieltjes transformations of probabilistic measures. In addition, we present an explicit formula for the corresponding R-transformations.
Single-image dehazing, unpaired, has emerged as a significant research focus, stimulated by its broad relevance across modern sectors like transportation, remote sensing, and intelligent surveillance, amongst others. CycleGAN-based methods have become a popular choice for single-image dehazing, providing the basis for unpaired, unsupervised training paradigms. However, these methodologies are not without flaws, as evidenced by the presence of obvious artificial recovery traces and the warping of image processing output. This paper proposes a new, enhanced CycleGAN framework, equipped with an adaptive dark channel prior, for effectively handling the challenge of unpaired single-image dehazing. For accurate recovery of transmittance and atmospheric light, the dark channel prior (DCP) is adapted first, leveraging a Wave-Vit semantic segmentation model. To optimize the rehazing process, the scattering coefficient, obtained from both physical calculations and random sampling techniques, is leveraged. An enhanced CycleGAN framework is constructed by the successful combination of the dehazing/rehazing cycle branches, facilitated by the atmospheric scattering model. Eventually, experiments are undertaken on standard/non-standard data sets. Employing the proposed model on the SOTS-outdoor dataset yielded an SSIM score of 949% and a PSNR of 2695. Furthermore, the model achieved an SSIM of 8471% and a PSNR of 2272 when applied to the O-HAZE dataset. A noteworthy improvement over typical existing algorithms is exhibited by the proposed model, particularly in both objective quantitative evaluation and subjective visual impact.
The expected support for the demanding quality of service (QoS) needs in IoT networks is provided by the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) systems. For upholding strict latency and reliability standards, incorporating a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) into URLLC systems is recommended to boost link quality. Our focus in this paper is on the uplink channel of an RIS-enhanced URLLC system, where we seek to minimize transmission latency subject to reliability constraints. To resolve the non-convexity of the problem, a low-complexity algorithm is developed, relying on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) technique. DFMO research buy Efficiently tackling the typically non-convex optimization of RIS phase shifts involves formulating it as a Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programming (QCQP) problem. Empirical validation demonstrates that our proposed ADMM-based approach surpasses the conventional SDR-based method in performance while exhibiting a lower computational burden. By leveraging RIS, our URLLC system demonstrates a substantial reduction in transmission latency, a key aspect for deploying RIS in IoT networks with stringent reliability requirements.
Within quantum computing equipment, crosstalk stands as the leading cause of noise. In quantum computing, the concurrent handling of multiple instructions leads to crosstalk. This crosstalk generates coupling between signal lines and mutual inductance/capacitance effects, ultimately disturbing the quantum state and resulting in program failure. Crosstalk elimination is an absolute requirement for quantum error correction and expansive fault-tolerant quantum computing systems. Crosstalk suppression in quantum computers is tackled in this paper using an approach that hinges on multiple instruction exchange rules and their associated durations. A multiple instruction exchange rule is proposed for the vast majority of quantum gates that are executable on quantum computing devices, initially. The rule for exchanging multiple instructions in quantum circuits reorders gates, isolating double gates prone to high crosstalk in quantum circuits. Based on the duration of different quantum gates, time constraints are implemented, and the quantum computing system strategically separates quantum gates with substantial crosstalk during the execution of the quantum circuit to limit the influence of crosstalk on its precision. DMARDs (biologic) The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrably supported by benchmark experiments. A 1597% average improvement in fidelity is achieved by the proposed method when compared to previous techniques.
To ensure both privacy and security, strong algorithms are not sufficient; readily available and dependable random number generators are also essential. Single-event upsets, which frequently result from the use of a non-deterministic entropy source, specifically ultra-high energy cosmic rays, necessitate a solution to this issue. The experiment's approach was based on a refined prototype utilizing established muon detection technology, and its statistical strength was tested. Our analysis reveals that the random bit sequence, originating from the detections, has successfully cleared the benchmarks of established randomness tests. Cosmic rays, captured by a standard smartphone during our experiment, are reflected in these detections. Even with a limited data sample, our work reveals valuable insights into the application of ultra-high energy cosmic rays as an entropy source.
The coordinated actions of a flock depend critically on the synchronization of their headings. If a constellation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) exhibits this cooperative maneuver, the group can determine a uniform navigational path. Inspired by the synchronized movements of flocks in nature, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm adapts the actions of a participant in response to their k closest collaborators. The drones' ceaseless movement results in the dynamic evolution of the communication network generated by this algorithm. Yet, this algorithm is computationally expensive, especially when dealing with large collections of information. The paper statistically assesses the best neighborhood size for a swarm of up to 100 UAVs seeking heading synchronization via a simplified P-like control strategy. This aims to decrease the computational burden on each UAV, crucial for implementation on drones with limited capabilities, as often seen in swarm robotics. The literature on bird flocking, which shows a stable neighbourhood of around seven birds for each individual, forms the basis of the two approaches employed in this study. (i) The study analyzes the optimal percentage of neighbours necessary within a 100-UAV swarm to establish coordinated heading. (ii) The study also evaluates the feasibility of this coordination in swarms of diverse sizes, up to 100 UAVs, ensuring each UAV maintains seven nearest neighbours. Simulation outcomes, bolstered by statistical analysis, suggest that the straightforward control algorithm mimics the coordinated movements of starlings.
Mobile coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are the subject of this paper's analysis. High-speed railway wireless communication systems face the challenge of intercarrier interference (ICI); a solution involves an equalizer or detector, sending soft messages to the decoder using a soft demapper. A Transformer-based detector/demapper for mobile coded OFDM systems is presented in this paper, aiming to enhance error performance. The Transformer network computes the soft, modulated symbol probabilities, and then employs this data to calculate the mutual information, thereby determining the appropriate code rate. At this point, the network computes the soft bit probabilities for the codeword and delivers them to the classical belief propagation (BP) decoder for further processing. A deep neural network (DNN) system is also considered for comparative evaluation. Numerical evaluations confirm that the OFDM system, employing a Transformer-based coding scheme, yields superior results compared to both the DNN-based and traditional approaches.
Dimensionality reduction is the first step in the two-stage feature screening method for linear models, targeting and removing superfluous features; subsequent feature selection is achieved using penalized approaches like LASSO or SCAD in the second step. The linear model has largely shaped subsequent research on sure independent screening methods. For generalized linear models, specifically those with binary responses, the use of the point-biserial correlation extends the applicability of the independence screening method. To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of high-dimensional generalized linear model selection, we propose a two-stage feature screening method, named point-biserial sure independence screening (PB-SIS). PB-SIS proves to be a highly efficient method for feature screening. Within the framework of certain regularity stipulations, the PB-SIS method exhibits absolute independence. A comprehensive set of simulation experiments confirmed the certainty of independence, the accuracy, and the operational efficiency of the PB-SIS. Types of immunosuppression In conclusion, we utilize a single real-world dataset to exemplify the effectiveness of PB-SIS.
