Detection performance of likelihood ratio test for change points based on bootstrap for AR 1 models
Yazıcı, Ceyda; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Batmaz, İnci (null; 2016-08-26)
he detection of change-points in time series is an important issue especially in economics, finance, meteorology and energy. Change in mean, change in variance or any sudden increase or decrease in the series can cause breakpoints. In AR(1) models, the likelihood ratio test is conducted to test for a single breakpoint. However, if the sample size is small or the location of the breakpoint is close to the end or the beginning of the series, the detection performance becomes worse. In order to increase the co...
Energetic, exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis of Bilkent combined cycle cogeneration plant
Colpan, C. Ozgur; Yesin, Tulay (Wiley, 2006-09-01)
This paper is a case study of thermodynamics and economics related analyses applied to an existing gas/steam combined cycle cogeneration plant. Basic thermodynamic properties of the plant are determined by energy analysis utilizing main operation conditions. Exergy destructions within the plant and exergy losses to environment are investigated to determine thermodynamic inefficiencies and to assist for guiding future improvements in the plant. Cost balances and auxiliary equations are applied to several sub...
Field-Data-Based Modeling of Medium-Frequency Induction Melting Furnaces for Power Quality Studies
Yilmaz, Ilker; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer; Cadirci, Isik (2012-07-01)
In this paper, the coreless medium-frequency induction melting furnace (IMF) system is represented by alternative field-data-based models, developed specifically for power quality studies. The IMF operation has been represented by a variable series RL circuit, to model the fundamental components of electrical quantities, and a shunt-connected current source, to model the generated harmonics and interharmonics over a typical melting cycle. Both the sinusoidal coding method applied to the major harmonics and ...

SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANOMALY DETECTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: A CASE OF AN ABANDONED COAL MINE SITE IN TURKEY
Soydan, Hilal; Koz, Alper; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (2017-08-09)
he main purpose of this research is to determine the anomalies regarding the coal mining operations in an abandoned coal mine site in central Anatolia by multi-temporal image analysis of Landsat 4-5 surface reflectance data. A wellknown anomaly detection algorithm, Reed-Xioli (RX), which calculates square of Mahalanobis metrics to calculate the likelihood ratios by normalizing the difference between the test pixel and the background to allocate anomaly pixels, is implemented across the time series. The expe...
