This paper presents a multi-objective programming model for the asset portfolio selection problem. Use the idea of fuzzy sets to set up the membership function of the objective function for providing the satisfaction degree to the return and risk of the portfolio. Then the approach is used to achieve the high test degree of each of the membership functions and abtain the satisfactary solution for the decision maker. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the proposed approach.

Many problems in enterprise running faced by managers can be resolved by simulation of the corresponding system dynamics model. It is often desirable to forecasting enterprise running in the next period. And managers hope to find the reason quickly if there are some exceptions in the running. The main purpose of this paper is to design a simulation and analysis system, which can help managers solve the above problems. In this article, we design a framework, and give the details of main modules. We also discuss the characteristics and future use of the system.

In order to improve the smoothness of curve fitted by the interest rate term structure model of polynomial spline functions, the adaptive semi parametric regression with a penalized item is introduced to estimate the unknown parameters. The generalized cross-validation method is discussed to select the smoothing parameter, and genetic algorithm is applied to search the optimal smoothing parameter. Then, the empirical results show that this model with penalty function is relatively effective in China. However, the curve fitting smoothness is improved to some extend at the expense of fitting accuracy.

Green financial products such as green loans have developed quickly worldwide in the last 5 years. Green credit extended so far is already more than 1 trillion Yuan in China, and huge growth is expected with further development of a low carbon economy. As green loan undertakes social responsibility, such as environmental protection and energy saving, and is one of the key factors in policy decisions, the traditional credit scoring system and risk evaluation model can not be used since here only financial and management factors are considered. In this paper, a green credit scoring system is presented which introduces new environment and energy factors. A SVM risk assessment model is created on this basis. Finally, a real-world dataset is applied to test the green credit scoring system and the SVM risk assessment model. The result shows that the new green credit scoring and SVM risk assessment models are effective.

This paper investigates the road pricing problem with extended multi-class equilibrium behaviors in the transportation networks. Taking into account mixed behaviors, where distinct Cournot-Nash (CN) players control certain portions of users, and the other users follow the user equilibrium (UE) principle, we establish the existence of meaningful road pricing in this case to decentralize a system optimal as the multiple behavior equilibrium. Considering the effect of the road pricing, some UE players may chose to give up their travel or change their travel tools, so we assume that the demand of UE players is elastic. There propose a Stackelberg leader-follower game for this problem, where the government is the network manager acting as the leader aiming to optimize network performance charging to part of network users, and the follower are the elastic demand UE players and CN players on the network. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to solve the proposed model and a numerical example is provided. The computation results show that the road pricing strategy can obviously improve network performance in terms of reducing system congestion.

In this study, a novel modular-type Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented to simulate rainfall prediction. First of all, a bagging sampling technique is used to generate different training sets. Secondly, different kernel function of SVM with different parameters, i.e., base models, are then trained to formulate different regression based on the different training sets. Thirdly, the Partial Least Square (PLS) technology is used to select choose the appropriate number of SVR combination members. Finally, a $nu$-SVM can be produced by learning from all base models. The technique will be implemented to forecast monthly rainfall in the Guangxi, China. Empirical results show that the prediction by using the SVM combination model is generally better than those obtained using other models presented in this study in terms of the same evaluation measurements. Our findings reveal that the nonlinear ensemble model proposed here can be used as an alternative forecasting tool for a Meteorological application in achieving greater forecasting accuracy and improving prediction quality further.

Accurate prediction on crude oil price in a long time horizon has been appealing both for academia and practitioners. Recursive strategy and direct strategy are two mainstream modeling schemas widely used for multi-step-ahead prediction in the context of time series modeling. In this paper, a comparative study has been conducted to justify these two strategies in multi-step-ahead prediction for crude oil price with Support Vector Regression (SVR). The experimental results show the direct strategy has more consistent performance than recursive one in the various experimental setting.

In order to solve the problem that the iterated closest contour point(ICCP) algorithm diverges easily when the initial INS error is large, the terrain contour matching (TERCOM) algorithm is firstly used to reduce the initial INS error, then ICCP algorithm is used to obtain the best matching position. Two matching difference is used as the measurement of Kalman filter, INS error is corrected and the optimal estimate is obtained. The correlative analysis MSD is only introduced in the coarse matching stage, and the sliding window is used in the precise matching stage to improve the algorithm efficiency. Simulations are performed and the results show that the proposed combinational algorithm matching process is more stable and the precision is higher than traditional algorithm.
