3517 results about "Linear regression" patented technology

In statistics, linear regression is a linear approach to modeling the relationship between a scalar response (or dependent variable) and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables). The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable, the process is called multiple linear regression. This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression, where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted, rather than a single scalar variable.

Crop yield prediction

Crop yield may be assessed and predicted using a piecewise linear regression method with break point and various weather and agricultural parameters, such as NDVI, surface parameters (soil moisture and surface temperature) and rainfall data. These parameters may help aid in estimating and predicting crop conditions. The overall crop production environment can include inherent sources of heterogeneity and their nonlinear behavior. A non-linear multivariate optimization method may be used to derive an empirical crop yield prediction equation. Quasi-Newton method may be used in optimization for minimizing inconsistencies and errors in yield prediction. Minimization of least square loss function through iterative convergence of pre-defined empirical equation can be based on piecewise linear regression method with break point. This non-linear method can achieve acceptable lower residual values with predicted values very close to the observed values. The present invention can be modified and tailored for different crops worldwide.

Real-time self-calibrating sensor system and method

A system and method for calibrating a sensor of a characteristic monitoring system in real time utilizes a self-calibration module for periodic determination of, and compensation for, the IR drop across unwanted resistances in a cell. A current-interrupt switch is used to open the self-calibration module circuit and either measure the IR drop using a high-frequency (MHz) ADC module, or estimate it through linear regression of acquired samples of the voltage across the sensor's working and reference electrodes (Vmeasured) over time. The IR drop is then subtracted from the closed-circuit value of Vmeasured to calculate the overpotential that exists in the cell (Vimportant). Vimportant may be further optimized by subtracting the value of the open-circuit voltage (Voc) across the sensor's working and reference electrodes. The values of Vmeasured and Vimportant are then controlled by respective first and second control units to compensate for the IR drop.

Metrology Method and Apparatus, Lithographic System and Device Manufacturing Method

Disclosed is a method of measuring a parameter of a litho-graphic process, and associated inspection apparatus. The method comprises measuring at least two target structures on a substrate using a plurality of different illumination conditions, the target structures having deliberate overlay biases; to obtain for each target structure an asymmetry measurement representing an overall asymmetry that includes contributions due to (i) the deliberate overlay biases, (ii) an overlay error during forming of the target structure and (iii) any feature asymmetry. A regression analysis is performed on the asymmetry measurement data by fitting a linear regression model to a planar representation of asymmetry measurements for one target structure against asymmetry measurements for another target structure, the linear regression model not necessarily being fitted through an origin of the planar representation. The overlay error can then be determined from a gradient described by the linear regression model.

Method for in-situ analysis of formation parameters

A method of performing a formation rate analysis from pressure and formation flow rate data. Pressure and flow rate data are measured as fluid is withdrawn from a formation. Variable system volume is accounted for. The pressure and flow rate data are correlated using a multiple linear regression technique. Time derivative terms related to pressure and flow rate are smoothed using a summation technique, thereby providing better correlations than using the time derivatives directly. Formation parameters comprising formation permeability, formation pressure, and fluid compressibility may be determined from the correlation.

Estimating the compilation time of a query optimizer

A compilation time estimator provides a quantified estimate of the optimizer compilation time for a given query optimizer. The estimator automates the optimizer to choose the right level of optimization in commercial database systems. The estimator reuses an optimizer's join enumerator to obtain actual number of joins, but bypasses plan generation to save estimation overhead, and maintains a small number of interesting physical properties to estimate the number of plans by using a linear regression model. The estimator uses the number of generated plans to estimate query compilation time.

Sensor-fault diagnosing method based on online prediction of least-squares support-vector machine

The invention discloses a sensor-fault diagnosing method based on the online prediction of a least-squares support-vector machine. In the method, a least-squares support-vector machine online-predicting model is established, and then the measured data of a sensor is acquired on line and used as an input sample of the least-squares support-vector machine online-predicting model to realize that the output value of the sensor at the next moment is predicted in real time as the predicting model is trained on line. Whether sensor faults occur or not is detected by comparing residual errors generated by the predicting value and the actual output value of the sensor. When the faults occur, the unary linear regression for a residual-error sequence is carried out by a least-squares method to realize the identification of the deviation and drift faults of the sensor, and furthermore, measures can be more effectively taken to carry out real-time compensation for the output of the sensor. Through the sensor-fault diagnosing method, the online fault diagnosis of the sensor can be rapidly and accurately realized, and the sensor-fault diagnosing method is particularly applicable to diagnosing the deviation faults and the drift faults of the sensor.

Method and apparatus for minimizing the number of samples needed to determine cell area coverage reliability in a radiotelephone system

A robust method for determining the boundaries of cells and the associated reliability of the RF coverage within these boundaries is presented. The invention accurately determines the average range from the base station to the cell edge from RF signal strength measurements with a linear regression approach. The accuracy of this estimate is quantified both as a range uncertainty (e.g. + / -100 meters) and as a cell coverage reliability (i.e. area / edge) through 1) simulation, 2) analysis of real data, and 3) theoretical analysis. It is shown that if the estimate of the cell radius meets the desired accuracy, then the corresponding estimates of coverage reliability (both area and edge) are more than sufficiently accurate. It is recommended that radio survey analyses incorporate this test as part of the coverage validation process.

Studying aesthetics in photographic images using a computational approach

The aesthetic quality of a picture is automatically inferred using visual content as a machine learning problem using, for example, a peer-rated, on-line photo sharing Website as data source. Certain visual features of images are extracted based on the intuition that they can discriminate between aesthetically pleasing and displeasing images. A one-dimensional support vector machine is used to identify features that have noticeable correlation with the community-based aesthetics ratings. Automated classifiers are constructed using the support vector machines and classification trees, with a simple feature selection heuristic being applied to eliminate irrelevant features. Linear regression on polynomial terms of the features is also applied to infer numerical aesthetics ratings.
