In this study, a new data-adaptive network design methodology called k-SRBF is presented for the spherical radial basis functions (SRBFs) in regional gravity field modeling. In this methodology, the cluster centers (centroids) obtained by the k-means clustering algorithm are post-processed to construct a network of SRBFs by replacing the centroids with the SRBFs. The post-processing procedure is inspired by the heuristic method, Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique (ISODATA), which splits clusters within the user-defined criteria to avoid over- and under-parameterization. These criteria are the minimum spherical distance between the centroids and the minimum number of samples for each cluster. The bandwidth (depth) of each SRBF is determined using the generalized cross-validation (GCV) technique in which only the observations within the radius of impact area (RIA) are used. The numerical tests are carried out with real and simulated data sets to investigate the effect of the user-defined criteria on the network design. Different bandwidth limits are also examined, and the appropriate lower and upper bandwidth limits are chosen based on the empirical signal covariance function and user-defined criteria. Also, additional tests are performed to verify the performance of the proposed methodology in combining different types of observations, such as terrestrial and airborne data available in Colorado. The results reveal that k-SRBF is an effective methodology to establish a data-adaptive network for SRBFs. Moreover, the proposed methodology improves the condition number of normal equation matrix so that the least-squares procedure can be applied without regularization considering the user-defined criteria and bandwidth limits.

A Transformation Media Based Approach for Efficient Monte Carlo Analysis of Scattering From Rough Surfaces With Objects
Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2013-03-01)
This paper presents a computational model that utilizes transformation-based metamaterials to enhance the performance of numerical modeling methods for achieving the statistical characterization of two-dimensional electromagnetic scattering from objects on or above one-dimensional rough sea surfaces. Monte Carlo simulation of the rough surface scattering problem by means of differential equation-based finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods) usually places a heavy burden on compu...
A Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Europe and the Middle East
Bommer, Julian J.; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kale, Ozkan (2011-08-01)
In the framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the preferred approach for obtaining the response spectrum of the vertical component of motion is to scale the horizontal spectrum by vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) spectral ratios. In order to apply these ratios to scenario or conditional mean spectra, the V/H ratios need to be defined as a function of variables such as magnitude, distance, and site classification. A new model for the prediction of V/H ratios for peak ground acceleration and spectral...
Advanced workflow for multi-well tracer test analysis in a geothermal reservoir
Bayer, Peter; AKIN, TAYLAN; Akın, Serhat (2022-05-01)
Interpretation of tracer tests in geothermal reservoirs is carried out by fitting the measured data either with simplified two-dimensional (2-D) analytical solutions or with complex numerical models. Available analytical solutions commonly only describe isotropic conditions in 1-D or 2-D, which is generally unsatisfactory to construct realistic reservoir models. Moreover, due to the large spatial and temporal scale of a tracer test in deep reservoirs, the concentration levels measured in the field are relat...

This paper introduces a model-based approach to the important data mining tool Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), which has originally been organized in a more model-free way. Indeed, MARS denotes a modern methodology from statistical learning which is important in both classification and regression, with an increasing number of applications in many areas of science, economy and technology. It is very useful for high-dimensional problems and shows a great promise for fitting nonlinear multivar...
