Hybrid evaluation of the industrial global impact on Mexican aquifers under uncertain criteria evaluations
Flores Casamayor, H.; Carpitella, Silvia; Izquierdo, J.; Mora-Rodríguez, J.; Delgado-Galván, X.
2022 - anglický
The present paper proposes an integrated methodological approach to address the problem of managing five aquifers of Guanajuato state, Mexico, according to such relevant criteria as environmental, social, economic and hydrological aspects. The goal of this research consists in formalizing a structured framework to first evaluate the various degrees of importance of criteria and to secondly get a classification of aquifers by minimizing uncertainty of evaluations. To such an aim, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used for calculating the vector of criteria weights, while the Fuzzy Logic (FL) theory supports in deriving quantitative evaluations of aquifers under each selected criterion. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is then proposed to formalize the final ranking of aquifers, something that will be helpful to understand which alternative matches all the differently weighted criteria in the most suitable way at a practical level. In such a way, getting a comprehensive and strategic overview about the problem of interest will be possible.

On a class of biped underactuated robot models with upper body: Sensitivity analysis of the walking performance
Papáček, Štěpán; Polach, P.; Prokýšek, R.; Anderle, Milan
2022 - anglický
Biped underactuated robots with an upper body (being a torso) form a subclass of legged robots. This study deals with the walking performance of such class of legged robot models and has been motivated by the need to implement of the previously developed sensor and control algorithms for the real-time movement of the laboratory walking robot, designed and built at the Department of Control Theory of the Institute of Information Theory and Automation (UTIA) of the Czech Academy of Sciences, see Fig. 1 (left). A detailed description of this underactuated walking-like mechanical system (called further UTIA Walking Robot – UWR) is provided in [2] and [5]. The simplest underactuated walking robot hypothetically able to walk is the so-called Compass gait biped walker, alternatively called the Acrobot, see Fig. 1 (right). For a review of underactuated mechanical systems, i.e. systems with fewer actuators than degrees of freedom, which encounter many applications in different fields (e.g., in robotics, in aeronautical and spatial systems, in marine and underwater systems, and in-flexible and mobile systems), see [3]. As follows, we examine the walking performance of parametrized models for different walking regimes and different values of model parameters. More specifically, the sensitivity analysis (i.e., parameter study) of the walking performance with respect to certain design variables (model parameters) is carried out using the software package alaska/MultibodyDynamics. The main attention is attracted to the role of the upper body mass m3 and position lc3, see Fig. 1 (right). Last but not least, having surveyed the mechanics of planar biped robots, our subsequent goal is the analysis of a 3D biped model where lateral balance is either controlled, suppressed or compensated.

Recursive mixture estimation with univariate multimodal Poisson variable
Uglickich, Evženie; Nagy, Ivan
2022 - anglický
Analysis of count variables described by the Poisson distribution is required in many application fields. Examples of the count variables observed per a time unit can be, e.g., number of customers, passengers, road accidents, Internet traffic packet arrivals, bankruptcies, virus attacks, etc. If the behavior of such a variable exhibits a multimodal character, the problem of clustering and classification of incoming count data arises. This issue can touch, for instance, detecting clusters of the different behavior of drivers in traffic flow analysis as well as cyclists or pedestrians. This work focuses on the model-based clustering of Poisson-distributed count data with the help of the recursive Bayesian estimation of the mixture of Poisson components. The aim of the work is to explain the methodology in details with an illustrative simple example, so that the work is limited to the univariate case and static pointer.

Macroeconomic Responses of Emerging Market Economies to Oil Price Shocks: Analysis by Region and Resource Profile
Togonidze, S.; Kočenda, Evžen
2022 - anglický
This study employs a vector autoregressive (VAR) model to analyse how oil price shocks affect macroeconomic fundamentals in emerging economies. Findings from existing literature remain inconclusive how macroeconomic variables fare towards shocks, especially in emerging economies. The objective of our study is to uncover if analysis by region (Latin America and the Caribbean, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe, and Central Asia) and resource intensity of economies (oil exporters, oil importers, minerals exporters, and less resource intensive). Our unique approach forms part of our contribution to the literature. We find that Latin America and the Caribbean are least affected by oil price shocks, while in East Asia and the Pacific the response of inflation and interest rate to oil price shocks is positive, and output growth is negative. Our analysis by resource endowment fails to show oil price shocks’ ability to explain huge variations in macroeconomic variables in oil importing economies. Further sensitivity analysis using US interest rates as an alternative source of external shocks to emerging economies establishes a significant response of interest rate responses to US interest rate in Europe and Central Asia, and in inflation in Latin America and the Caribbean. We also find that regardless of resource endowment, the response of output growth and capital to a positive US interest rate shock is negative and significant in EMs. Our results are persuasive that resource intensity and regional factors impact the responsiveness of emerging economies to oil price shocks, thus laying a basis for policy debate.\n Klíčová slova: Emerging market economies; Oil shocks; GDP; Markov-switching; Exchange rate; Oil exporters; Metal exporters Dokument je dostupný na externích webových stránkách.

Probabilistic representation of spatial fuzzy sets
Soukup, Lubomír
2022 - anglický
Membership function of a given fuzzy set is expressed by probability that a point belongs in the fuzzy set. Such a membership function is derived from probability distribution of points on the boundary of the fuzzy set. Polygonal boundary is considered. Spatial operations (conjunction, disjunction, complement) are defined accordingly. Several application areas are mentioned, namely classification of land cover, cadastral mapping, material quality analysis, interferometric monitoring of bridges. Klíčová slova: fuzzy set theory; probability theory; uncertainty; geographic information system Dokument je dostupný na externích webových stránkách.

Yield Curve Dynamics and Fiscal Policy Shocks
Kučera, A.; Kočenda, Evžen; Maršál, Aleš
2022 - anglický
We show that government spending does play a role in shaping the yield curve which has important consequences for the cost of private and government financing. We combine government spending shock identification strategies from the fiscal macro literature with recent advancements in no-arbitrage affine term structure modeling, where we account for time-varying macroeconomic trends in inflation and the equilibrium real interest rate. We stress in our empirical macro-finance framework the importance of timing in the response of yields to government spending. We find that the yield curve responds positively but mildly to a surprise in government spending shocks where the rise in risk-neutral yields is compensated by a drop in nominal term premia. The news shock in expectations about future expenditures decreases yields across all maturities. Complementarily, we also analyze the effect of fiscal policy uncertainty where higher fiscal uncertainty lowers yields.

Characterizing Uncertainty In Decision-Making Models For Maintenance In Industry 4.0
Ahmed, U.; Carpitella, Silvia; Certa, A.
2022 - anglický
Decision-making involves our daily life at any level, something that entails uncertainty and potential occurrence of risks of varied nature. When dealing with industrial engineering systems, effective decisions are fundamental in terms of maintenance planning and implementation. Specifically, several forms of uncertainty may affect decision-making procedures, for which adopting suitable techniques seems to be a good strategy to attain the main maintenance goals by taking into account system criticality along with decision-maker(s) opinions. A wide variety of factors contributes to uncertainty, being some of them greatly important while other ones less significant. However, all of these factors in synergy can impact the functioning of systems in a positive, neutral, or negative way. In this case, the question is whether obtaining a complete picture of such uncertainty can improve decision-making capabilities and mitigate both through-life costs and unforeseen problems. The fundamental issues include dealing with ambiguity in the maintenance decision-making process by employing numerous evaluation criteria and dealing with real-world scenarios in the maintenance environment. In this study, the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach is analysed, with particular reference to the Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS), technique capable to effectively rank alternatives while dealing with uncertainty for maintenance decision-making. A final case study is developed to demonstrate the applicability of the method to the field of maintenance in industry 4.0. The proposed study may be useful in supporting intelligent and efficient decisions resulting in favorable maintenance outcomes.

Computing the Decomposable Entropy of Graphical Belief Function Models
Jiroušek, Radim; Kratochvíl, Václav; Shenoy, P. P.
2022 - anglický
In 2018, Jiroušek and Shenoy proposed a definition of entropy for Dempster-Shafer (D-S) belief functions called decomposable entropy. Here, we provide an algorithm for computing the decomposable entropy of directed graphical D-S belief function models. For undirected graphical belief function models, assuming that each belief function in the model is non-informative to the others, no algorithm is necessary. We compute the entropy of each belief function and add them together to get the decomposable entropy of the model. Finally, the decomposable entropy generalizes Shannon’s entropy not only for the probability of a single random variable but also for multinomial distributions expressed as directed acyclic graphical models called Bayesian networks.
