Abnormal link detection algorithm based on semi-local structure by Haoran SHI, Lixin JI, Shuxin LIU, Gengrun WANG

“…With the research in network science, real networks involved are becoming more and more extensive.Redundant error relationships in complex systems, or behaviors that occur deliberately for unusual purposes, such as wrong clicks on webpages, telecommunication network spying calls, have a significant impact on the analysis work based on network structure.As an important branch of graph anomaly detection, anomalous edge recognition in complex networks aims to identify abnormal edges in network structures caused by human fabrication or data collection errors.Existing methods mainly start from the perspective of structural similarity, and use the connected structure between nodes to evaluate the abnormal degree of edge connection, which easily leads to the decomposition of the network structure, and the detection accuracy is greatly affected by the network type.In response to this problem, a CNSCL algorithm was proposed, which calculated the node importance at the semi-local structure scale, analyzed different types of local structures, and quantified the contribution of edges to the overall network connectivity according to the semi-local centrality in different structures, and quantified the reliability of the edge connection by combining with the difference of node structure similarity.Since the connected edges need to be removed in the calculation process to measure the impact on the overall connectivity of the network, there was a problem that the importance of nodes needed to be repeatedly calculated.Therefore, in the calculation process, the proposed algorithm also designs a dynamic update method to reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm, so that it could be applied to large-scale networks.Compared with the existing methods on 7 real networks with different structural tightness, the experimental results show that the method has higher detection accuracy than the benchmark method under the AUC measure, and under the condition of network sparse or missing, It can still maintain a relatively stable recognition accuracy.…”

Developing a multivariate drought index to assess drought characteristics based on the SWAT-Copula method in the Poyang Lake basin, China by Liping Guo, Fusheng Chen, Bin Wang, De Li Liu, Xiulong Chen, Hongsheng Huang, Hua Bai, Kaitao Liao, Zhiming Xia, Keyu Xiang, Linchao Li, Taihui Zheng, Qiang Yu

“…A Multivariate Standardized Drought Index (MSDI) was then developed with simulated Standardized Soil Moisture Index (SSI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) based on copula functions. We found that (1) The SWAT can simulate monthly streamflow well with NS being 0.76–0.92 for validation data over the sub-basins in the PLB. (2) The MSDI index indicated that there were more drought events during 1960–1979 and 2000–2019, highlighting a cyclical pattern of drought events in the PLB. (3) The Xiushui River Basin encountered the most extreme drought conditions since 2000, indicating the basin faced a high risk of dry conditions. …”

Study on the Transfer Threshold from Meteorological to Hydrological Drought in Dongjiang River Basin by MO Xiaomei, TU Xinjun, WANG Tian, XIE Yuting, ZHAO Guoyang

“…The study on transfer threshold between different drought types can effectively analyze the occurrence law and mechanism of drought transfer,especially the study on transfer threshold from meteorological drought to hydrological drought.Taking the Dongjiang River Basin as the research object,this paper calculates the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized runoff index (SRI) at month scale,identifies and extracts the drought events and their characteristics,including drought duration and drought severity based on the run theory,matches the meteorological drought events and hydrological drought events that occur at the fully or partially same time,fits the edge distribution of the matched drought characteristic attributes to verify the correlation between the duration or severity of meteorological and hydrological droughts,establishes the joint distribution models of meteorological drought and hydrological drought based on two-variable Copula function,calculates the conditional probability of different grades of hydrological drought (moderate drought,severe drought and extreme drought) under different meteorological drought conditions,and takes the drought duration or severity value corresponding to the conditional probability of 0.95 as the drought duration or severity threshold for the transfer of meteorological drought to the hydrological drought of this grade.The results show that:The optimal fit functions of meteorological drought duration and severity in the Dongjiang River Basin were gamma distribution.The optimal fit function of hydrological drought duration is gamma distribution,and the marginal distribution function of hydrological drought severity was generalized normal distribution.The drought duration and severity were better when fitting by the Gumbel-copula function.The thresholds of drought duration of middle,severe and extreme drought grades in Dongjiang River basin were 6.9 months,8.3 months,9.4 months,respectively.While the thresholds of drought severity were 4.6,5.7 and 6.6,respectively.Drought transfer threshold can provide reference for hydrological drought prediction and government decision-making of drought prevention and mitigation.…”
