Second-order experimental designs for simulation metamodeling

2002-12-01
The main purpose of this study is to compare the performance of a group of second-order designs such as Box-Behnken, face-center cube, three-level factorial, central composite, minimum bias, and minimum variance plus bias for estimating a quadratic metamodel. A time-shared computer system is used to demonstrate the ability of the designs in providing good fit of the metamodel to the simulation response. First, for various numbers of center runs, these designs are compared with respect to their efficiency, rotatability, orthogonality, robustness, bias, and prediction variance. Next, second-order metamodels are fit to the data collected using these designs. Metamodel fit is investigated using criteria such as average absolute error, PRESS, and the C-p statistic. Results indicate that the minimum variance plus bias design is the most promising design to estimate a metamodel for the case studied.

Discretization of Parametrizable Signal Manifolds
Vural, Elif (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-12-01)
Transformation-invariant analysis of signals often requires the computation of the distance from a test pattern to a transformation manifold. In particular, the estimation of the distances between a transformed query signal and several transformation manifolds representing different classes provides essential information for the classification of the signal. In many applications, the computation of the exact distance to the manifold is costly, whereas an efficient practical solution is the approximation of ...
Extending Correlation Filter-Based Visual Tracking by Tree-Structured Ensemble and Spatial Windowing
Gundogdu, Erhan; Özkan, Huseyin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-01)
Correlation filters have been successfully used in visual tracking due to their modeling power and computational efficiency. However, the state-of-the-art correlation filter-based (CFB) tracking algorithms tend to quickly discard the previous poses of the target, since they consider only a single filter in their models. On the contrary, our approach is to register multiple CFB trackers for previous poses and exploit the registered knowledge when an appearance change occurs. To this end, we propose a novel t...
Monte Carlo analysis of ridged waveguides with transformation media
Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2013-07-01)
A computational model is presented for Monte Carlo simulation of waveguides with ridges, by combining the principles of transformation electromagnetics and the finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods). The principle idea is to place a transformation medium around the ridge structure, so that a single and easy-to-generate mesh can be used for each realization of the Monte Carlo simulation. Hence, this approach leads to less computational resources. The technique is validated by me...
Nonlinear dynamic modeling of gear-shaft-disk-bearing systems using finite elements and describing functions
Maliha, R; Dogruer, CU; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (ASME International, 2004-05-01)
This study presents a new nonlinear dynamic model for a gear-shaft-disk-bearing system. A nonlinear dynamic model of a spur gear pair is coupled with linear finite element models of shafts carrying them, and with discrete models of bearings and disks. The nonlinear elasticity term resulting from backlash is expressed by a describing function, and a method developed in previous studies to determine multi harmonic responses of nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom systems is employed for the solution. The excitat...
Rate-Distortion Efficient Piecewise Planar 3-D Scene Representation From 2-D Images
Imre, Evren; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Gueduekbay, Ugur (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01)
In any practical application of the 2-D-to-3-D conversion that involves storage and transmission, representation efficiency has an undisputable importance that is not reflected in the attention the topic received. In order to address this problem, a novel algorithm, which yields efficient 3-D representations in the rate distortion sense, is proposed. The algorithm utilizes two views of a scene to build a mesh-based representation incrementally, via adding new vertices, while minimizing a distortion measure....
