Flexible Lévy-Based Models for Time Series of Count Data with Zero-Inflation, Overdispersion, and Heavy Tails by Confort Kollie, Philip Ngare, Bonface Malenje

“…It enables the modeling of both short-range and long-range serial correlation structures by selecting the kernel set accordingly and accommodates various marginal distributions within the class of infinitely divisible laws. We propose an extension of the basic stationary framework to capture additional marginal properties, such as heavy-tailedness, in both short-term and long-term dependencies, as well as overdispersion and zero inflation in simultaneous modeling. …”

A Hybrid Prognostic Approach for Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Lithium-Ion Batteries by Wen-An Yang, Maohua Xiao, Wei Zhou, Yu Guo, Wenhe Liao

“…This study proposes a hybrid prognostic approach that can predict the RUL of degraded lithium-ion batteries using physical laws and data-driven modeling simultaneously. In this hybrid prognostic approach, the relevant vectors obtained with the selective kernel ensemble-based relevance vector machine (RVM) learning algorithm are fitted to the physical degradation model, which is then extrapolated to failure threshold for estimating the RUL of the lithium-ion battery of interest. …”
