A practical recursive linear robust estimation scheme is proposed for target localization in the sensor network which provides range difference of arrival (RDOA) measurements. In order to radically solve the known practical difficulties such as sensitivity for initial guess and heavy computational burden caused by intrinsic nonlinearity of the RDOA based target localization problem, an uncertain linear measurement model is newly derived. In the suggested problem setting, the target localization performance of the conventional linear estimation schemes might be severely degraded under the low SNR condition and be affected by the target position in the sensor network. This motivates us to devise a new sensor network localization algorithm within the framework of the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. Provided that the statistical information regarding RDOA measurements are available, the estimate of the proposition method shows the convergence in probability to the true target position. Through the computer simulations, the omnidirectional target localization performance and consistency of the proposed algorithm are compared to those of the existing ones. It is shown that the proposed method is more reliable than the total least squares method and the linear correction least squares method.

This paper presents a study on terrain referenced navigation (TRN). The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is adopted as a filter method. A Jacobian matrix of measurement equations in the EKF consists of terrain slope terms, and accurate slope estimation is essential to keep filter stability. Two slope estimation methods are proposed in this study. Both methods are based on the least-squares approach. One is planar regression searching the best plane, in the least-squares sense, representing the terrain map over the region, determined by position error covariance. It is shown that the method could provide a more accurate solution than the previously developed linear regression approach, which uses lines rather than a plane in the least-squares measure. The other proposed method is weighted planar regression. Additional weights formed by Gaussian pdf are multiplied in the planar regression, to reflect the actual pdf of the position estimate of EKF. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted, to compare the performance between the previous and two proposed methods, by analyzing the filter properties of divergence probability and convergence speed. It is expected that one of the slope estimation methods could be implemented, after determining which of the filter properties is more significant at each mission.

This paper deals with an estimation procedure of variance components in a mixed effects model by projections. Projections are used to obtain sums of squares instead of using reductions in sums of squares due to fitting both the assumed model and sub-models in the fitting constants method. A projection matrix can be obtained for the residual model at each step by a stepwise procedure to test the hypotheses. A weighted least squares method is used for the estimation of fixed effects. Satterthwaite's approximation is done for the confidence intervals for variance components.

The load forecasting has been an important part of power system Accordingly, it has been proposed various methods for the load forecasting. The load patterns of the special days is quite different than those of ordinary weekdays. It is difficult to accurately forecast the load of special days due to the insufficiency of the load patterns compared with ordinary weekdays, so we have proposed fuzzy least squares linear regression algorithm for the load forecasting. In this paper we proposed four models for fuzzy least squares linear regression. It is separated by coefficients of fuzzy least squares linear regression equation. we compared model of H1 with H4 and prove it H4 has accurately forecast better than H1.

The paper deals with strength design of a riser support installed on floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel under various loading conditions - operation, extreme, damaged, one line failure case (OLFC) and installation. The design problem is formulated such that thickness sizing variables are determined by minimizing the weight of a riser support structure subject to stresses constraints. The initial design model is generated based on an actual FPSO riser support specification. The finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted using MSC/NASTRAN, and optimal solutions are obtained via moving least squares method (MLSM) in the context of response surface based approximate optimization. For the meta-modeling of inequality constraint functions of stresses, a constraint-feasible moving least squares method (CF-MLSM) is used in the present study. The method of CF-MLSM, compared to a conventional MLSM, has been shown to ensure the constraint feasibility in a case where the approximate optimization process is employed. The optimization results present improved design performances under various riser operating conditions.

The goal of this paper is to offer material which make mathematising Fruedenthal(1991) proposed be experienced through the process of teaching and learning mathematics. In this paper, the number of unit squares a diagonal passes through for an m$\times$n lattice rectangle is studied and its generalization is discussed. Through this discussion, the adaptability of this material Is analysed. Especially, beyond inductional conjecture, the number of unit squares is studied by more complete way, and generalization in 3-dimension and 4-dimension are tried. In school mathematics, it is enough to generalize in 3-dimension. This material is basically appropriate for teaching and learning mathematising in math classroom. In studying the number of unit squares and unit cubes, some kinds of mathematising are accompanied. Enough time are allowed for students to study unit squares and unit cubes to make them experience mathematising really. To do so, it is desirable to give students that problem as a task, and make them challenge that problem for enough long time by their own ways. This material can be connected to advanced mathematics naturally in that it is possible to generalize this problem in n-dimension. So, it is appropriate for making in-service mathematics teachers realize them as a real material connecting school mathematics and advanced mathematics.

The Total Least Squares(TLS) method is an unbiased estimator for solving overdetermined sets of linear equations Ax${\simeq}$b when errors occur in all data. However, as well as Least Squares(LS) method it doesn't show robustness while the errors have a heavy tailed probability density function. In this paper we proposed a robust method of TLS (Robust TLS, ROTLS) based on the characteristics of TLS solution. And the ROTLS is verified by applying it to system identification problems.

Iterative algorithms are proposed for the least-squares symmetric solution of AXB = E with a submatrix constraint. We characterize the linear mappings from their independent element space to the constrained solution sets, study their properties and use these properties to propose two matrix iterative algorithms that can find the minimum and quasi-minimum norm solution based on the classical LSQR algorithm for solving the unconstrained LS problem. Numerical results are provided that show the efficiency of the proposed methods.
