Purpose Ensemble models that combine multiple base classifiers have been widely used to improve prediction performance in credit risk evaluation. However, an arbitrary selection of base classifiers is problematic. The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for selecting base classifiers to improve the overall classification performance of an ensemble model. Design/methodology/approach In this study, selecting base classifiers is treated as a feature selection problem, where the output from a base classifier can be considered a feature. The proposed correlation-based classifier selection using the maximum information coefficient (MIC-CCS), a correlation-based classifier selection under the maximum information coefficient method, selects the features (classifiers) using nonlinear optimization programming, which seeks to optimize the relationship between the accuracy and diversity of base classifiers, based on MIC. Findings The empirical results show that ensemble models perform better than stand-alone ones, whereas the ensemble model based on MIC-CCS outperforms the ensemble models with unselected base classifiers and other ensemble models based on traditional forward and backward selection methods. Additionally, the classification performance of the ensemble model in which correlation is measured with MIC is better than that measured with the Pearson correlation coefficient. Research limitations/implications The study provides an alternate solution to effectively select base classifiers that are significantly different, so that they can provide complementary information and, as these selected classifiers have good predictive capabilities, the classification performance of the ensemble model is improved. Originality/value This paper introduces MIC to the correlation-based selection process to better capture nonlinear and nonfunctional relationships in a complex credit data structure and construct a novel nonlinear programming model for base classifiers select

The paper begins with a survey of advances in state-of-the-art minimum-time simulation for road vehicles. The techniques covered include both quasi-steady-state and transient vehicle models, which are combined with trajectories that are either pre-assigned or free to be optimised. The fundamentals of nonlinear optimal control are summarised. These fundamentals are the basis of most of the vehicular optimal control methodologies and solution procedures reported in the literature. The key features of three-dimensional road modelling, vehicle positioning and vehicle modelling are also summarised with a focus on recent developments. Both cars and motorcycles are considered.

In this study, we derived an operating profile that minimizes startup time using a rigorous physical model that takes into account the characteristics of the compressors and heat exchangers that make up a centrifugal chiller, as well as the phase change and flow of the refrigerant. As an optimization method, we used the direct method of transforming the original infinite optimal control problem into a finite-dimensional nonlinear programming problem. We were able to derive an operation profile that reduces the startup time while satisfying the constraints compared to conventional operations and confirmed that the model and optimization method are effective for optimal design of equipment and control logic.

This paper proposes a collaborative transmit resource scheduling and waveform selection (CTRSWS) strategy for target tracking in multistatic radar system which consists of one transmitter and an arbitrary number of receivers. The main mechanism of the proposed CTRSWS strategy is to exploit the optimisation technique to jointly optimise the illumination power, dwell time, waveform bandwidth, and pulse length under the constraints of several resource budgets and the predefined waveform library, aiming at improving the low probability of intercept (LPI) performance and target tracking accuracy of multistatic radar system simultaneously. The analytical expressions for the probability of intercept and the trace of the predicted error covariance matrix corresponding to the target state estimation are derived and adopted to evaluate the LPI performance and target tracking accuracy, respectively. Subsequently, the resulting non-convex and non-linear optimisation problem is resolved by an efficient and fast four-stage solution methodology. Several numerical results are provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed CTRSWS scheme in terms of the achievable LPI performance and target tracking accuracy of multistatic radar system.

In this work, a Model-Optimization-guided Neural Network (MOGNN) is proposed to optimize chemical processes. The model is trained with pre-selected process data, resulting from optimization of engineering models described by systems of algebraic equations. MOGNN aims to predict the optimal operating points for a range of input variables. The models were simulated in the Unisim-Design (R) process simulator for training data generation and optimized in Python using the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. The resulting models were applied to optimize two chemical engineering cases. The results showed that the computational cost of optimization corresponded to 0.83% and 2.12%, respectively, about the simulation cost for a given input dataset. Also, both processes revealed good alignment between the predicted profiles and the simulator data, while their respective objective function profiles yielded an average improvement of 9.61 % and 18.83% for the two examples.

A study proposes the combined use of the vertical instability and optimization techniques to compute low-energy transfers changing the inclination and the out-of-plane amplitude substantially around L1in the Earth–moon CR3BP. The method consists of three stages of optimizations. The first stage computes initial guesses for manifold-guided transfers by maximizing the inclination while avoiding escapes from the vicinity of L1 against the strong horizontal instability. The CR3BP describes the motion of a massless particle P3, under the gravitational influences of two massive bodies, P1 and P2 of masses m1 and m2 (m1 > m2), respectively. The model assumes that P1 and P2 revolve in circular orbits around their barycenter.

We propose a general method for optimizing periodic input waveforms for global entrainment of weakly forced limit-cycle oscillators based on phase reduction and nonlinear programming. We derive averaged phase dynamics from the mathematical model of a limit-cycle oscillator driven by a weak periodic input and optimize the Fourier coefficients of the input waveform to maximize prescribed objective functions. In contrast to the optimization methods that rely on the calculus of variations, the proposed method can be applied to a wider class of optimization problems including global entrainment objectives. As an illustration, we consider two optimization problems, one for achieving fast global convergence of the oscillator to the entrained state and the other for realizing prescribed global phase distributions in a population of identical uncoupled noisy oscillators. We show that the proposed method can successfully yield optimal input waveforms to realize the desired states in both cases.

Distribution network constrained mathematical optimization is key technology to enable advanced distribution network management. In recent years, a growing amount of articles on the development of such models and algorithms have been published. Benchmarking of different approaches is crucial to establish performance trade-offs between accuracy, reliability and computational intensity. Today, practitioners tend to take ad -hoc approaches, building on power flow data sets but adding customer extensions to establish information such as voltage/current/power bounds and to parameterize pre -defined objective functions. To foster progress in this field, in this work we discuss (i) a number of design trade-offs and pitfalls related to benchmarking, (ii) develop a data model and mathematical specification for (up -to) four -wire optimal power flow, and (iii) develop some initial data sets. The data sets are provided through open -access initiatives under a creative commons license, and a reference implementation of the mathematical model is made available with a permissive license. For ease -of -use, and to maximize uptake in the community, we establish a tiered approach to the benchmark development with a multi -year plan.

In this paper, finite-element limit analysis (FELA) in conjunction with nonlinear programming was developed and applied to evaluate the stability of asymmetric parallel circular tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils subjected to surcharge pressure. Based on the feasible arc interior point algorithm, a new imprecise step search algorithm was proposed to improve the speed of solving the optimization models. Meanwhile, an empirical judgment criterion was established for detecting the infeasibility of the problem. Based on the FELA method, the lower bound and upper bound for the dimensionless stability number were obtained, which account for the influence of material properties, including the overburden stress factor gamma D/c and the soil internal frictional angle phi, and geometric parameters, such as the normalized spacing ratio S/D, cover depth ratio H/D, and diameter ratio R/D of two tunnels. To obtain tight bounds for the failure load of the problem, an adaptive remeshing strategy was used in all of the numerical simulations. To facilitate practitioners' use, the calculated results were presented in the form of design tables and charts, and the failure modes for different parameters were compared and discussed. The stability numbers obtained from the present analysis are applicable to estimate the stability of asymmetric parallel circular tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils subjected to surcharge pressure. From the failure modes, engineers can identify critical sections of the asymmetric parallel tunnels where additional reinforcement or support may be required. This information can help to ensure that the asymmetric parallel tunnels remain stable during construction and in service, reducing the potential for failure and increasing the safety of the tunnels.
