Deterministic vs. Stochastic Methods for Frontier Estimation: Update and Illustration by William Weber, Shawna Grosskopf, Kathy Hayes, Heike Wetzel

“…Marginal cost estimates are derived from a translog cost function. Since market prices are usually not observed for public sector producers or are distorted because of subsidies, we use duality theory and derive prices from observed costs and an estimated translog input distance function. …”

Routing algorithm for railway monitoring linear WSN based on improved PSO by Cuiran LI, Xuejie WANG, Jianli XIE, Anqi LYU

“…To solve the problems of short network lifetime and large data transmission delay, caused by unbalanced node energy consumption of linear wireless sensor network in railway monitoring scenario, a routing algorithm based on particle swarm optimization theory and breadth first search was proposed.The fitness function was constructed based on the relative energy consumption, spacing and load of candidate cluster heads.The local search ability of particle swarm algorithm was enhanced by adjusting the inertia weight coefficient to set up the cluster head optimal set.Meanwhile, a path cost function driven by energy consumption and delay was built up, and the optimal main path from the source node to the sink node was obtained by breadth first search.Lastly, a Q-learning alternative path updating and route maintenance mechanism based on discrete Markov decision process (MDP) was designed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can balance the node energy consumption effectively, and has also advantages in prolonging the network lifetime and reducing the data transmission delay.…”

Improved fish swarm algorithm based on chaos and its application in abnormal detection of industrial control network by Yaping WU, Hongzhao DONG, Yingying LIN, Jing LIU

“…Artificial fish swarm algorithm as a new type of bionic swarm intelligence optimization algorithm has been successfully used in a variety of optimization problems and practical engineering field,but when faced with the complex optimization problems,especially the multiple extreme value of peak and multimodal function optimization problems,due to the objective function has many local minima,inevitably there are defects such as premature and slow convergence speed.The random and ergodic theory was introduced into the basic artificial fish swarm algorithm,and an improved algorithm was constructed to make artificial fish swarm search avoid possible local extremum.The effectiveness of the algorithm was validated in the simulation application in industrial control network anomaly detection.Compared with the basic artificial fish school algorithm,the chaos improved artificial fish swarm algorithm can effectively avoid the long-term search of the algorithm near the local extreme value.The algorithm has better performance in terms of global convergence and the search efficiency is more prominent.…”
