OTN (Optical Transmission Networks) is one of the mainstream infrastructures over the ground-transmission networks, with the characteristics of large bandwidth, low delay, and high reliability. To ensure a stable working of OTN, it is necessary to preform high-level accurate functions of data traffic analysis, alarm prediction, and fault location. However, there is a serious problem for the implementation of these functions, caused by the shortage of available data but a rather-large amount of dirty data existed in OTN. In the view of current pretreatment, the extracted amount of effective data is very less, not enough to support machine learning. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a data augmentation algorithm based on deep learning. Specifically, Data Augmentation for Optical Transmission Networks under Multi-condition constraint (MVOTNDA) is designed based on GAN Mode with the demonstration of variable-length data augmentation method. Experimental results show that MVOTNDA has better performances than the traditional data augmentation algorithms.

The mixed effects model for repeated measures has been widely used for the analysis of longitudinal clinical data collected at a number of fixed time points. We propose a robust extension of the mixed effects model for repeated measures for skewed and heavy-tailed data on basis of the multivariate skew-t distribution, and it includes the multivariate normal, t, and skew-normal distributions as special cases. An efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is developed using the monotone data augmentation and parameter expansion techniques. We employ the algorithm to perform controlled pattern imputations for sensitivity analyses of longitudinal clinical trials with nonignorable dropouts. The proposed methods are illustrated by real data analyses. Sample SAS programs for the analyses are provided in the online supplementary material.
