Abstract:Real-world, multidimensional, dynamic, non-linear processes typically exhibit many distinct modes of operation. Mixtures of dynamic models improve greatly on traditional one-component linear models in this context. Improved prediction then points the way to effective adaptive control design. This paper presents the experience gained under the EU Project, ProDaCTool, in designing and implementing advisory systems, based on dynamic mixtures, in diverse domains: urban traffic regulation, therapy recommendations i… Show more

Abstract-An extension of the AutoRegressive (AR) model is studied, which allows transformations and distortions on the regressor to be handled. Many important signal processing problems are amenable to this Extended AR (i.e. EAR) model. It is shown that Bayesian identification and prediction of the EAR model can be performed recursively, in common with the AR model itself. The EAR model does, however, require that the transformation be known. When it is unknown, the associated transformation space is represented by a finite set of candidates. What follows is a Mixture-based EAR model, i.e. the MEAR model. An approximate identification algorithm for MEAR is developed, using a restricted Variational Bayes (VB) procedure. It preserves the efficient recursive update of sufficient statistics. The MEAR model is applied to the robust identification of AR processes corrupted by outliers and burst noise respectively, and to click removal for speech.

“…There is a number of sophisticated and well-elaborated approaches and techniques developed for DM, (DeGroot, 1970;Bell et al, 1988) proven to be successful in many applications (see e.g., Dyer et al, 1992;Quinn et al, 2003). However none of the approaches can serve as a universal one to be applied to the above-mentioned diversity of problems.…”
Abstract:The paper concerns a cooperation problem in multiple participant decision making (DM). A fully scalable cooperation model with individual participants being Bayesian decision makers who use fully probabilistic design of the optimal decision strategy is presented. The solution suggests a flat structure of cooperation, where each participant interacts with several 'neighbours'. The cooperation consists in providing probabilistic distributions a participant uses for its DM. The group DM is then determined by a way of exploitation of the offered non-standard (probabilistic) fragmental information.The paper proposes a systematic procedure by formulating and solving the exploitation problem in a Bayesian way.
Quasi-Bayes algorithm, combined with stabilized forgetting, provides a tool for efficient recursive estimation of dynamic probabilistic mixture models. They can be interpreted either as models of closedloop with switching modes and controllers or as a universal approximation of a wide class of non-linear control loops.Fully probabilistic control design extended to mixture models makes basis of a powerful class of adaptive controllers based on the receding-horizon certainty equivalence strategy.Paper summarizes the basic elements mentioned above, classifies possible types of control problems and provides solution of the key one referred to as 'simultaneous' design. Results are illustrated on mixtures with components formed by normal auto-regression models with external variable (ARX).
