Image denoising is one of the classical problems in digital image processing, and has been studied for nearly half a century due to its important role as a pre-processing step in various image applications. In this work, a denoising algorithm based on Kalman filtering was used to improve natural image quality. We have studied noise reduction methods using a hybrid Kalman filter with an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model that the coefficients of the AR models for the Kalman filter are calculated by solving for the minimum square error solutions of over-determined linear systems. Experimental results show that as an adaptive method, the algorithm reduces the noise while retaining the image details much better than conventional algorithms.

This paper develops a Bayesian formulation of Kalman filter under the errors having elliptically contoured distributions in both observation equation and system (or state) equation, using some recent results in multivariate analysis. Estimation of parameters in case of missing observations and prediction of missing observations as well are dealt with under the above set up of autoregressive-moving average process in time series. Two illustrative examples are presented with the help of AR(1) model and ARMA (1, 1) model.

For the single-channel autoregressive moving average (ARMA) signals with multisensor, and with unknown model parameters and noise variances, the local estimators of unknown model parameters and noise variances are obtained by the recursive instrumental variable (RIV) algorithm and correlation method, and the fused estimators are obtained by taking the average of the local estimators. Substituting them into the optimal fusion Kalman filter, a self-tuning fusion Kalman filter for single-channel ARMA signals is presented. A simulation example shows its effectiveness.

Abstract. Conventional streamflow models operate under the assumption of constant variance or season-dependent variances (e.g. ARMA (AutoRegressive Moving Average) models for deseasonalized streamflow series and PARMA (Periodic AutoRegressive Moving Average) models for seasonal streamflow series). However, with McLeod-Li test and Engle's Lagrange Multiplier test, clear evidences are found for the existence of autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (i.e. the ARCH (AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) effect), a nonlinear phenomenon of the variance behaviour, in the residual series from linear models fitted to daily and monthly streamflow processes of the upper Yellow River, China. It is shown that the major cause of the ARCH effect is the seasonal variation in variance of the residual series. However, while the seasonal variation in variance can fully explain the ARCH effect for monthly streamflow, it is only a partial explanation for daily flow. It is also shown that while the periodic autoregressive moving average model is adequate in modelling monthly flows, no model is adequate in modelling daily streamflow processes because none of the conventional time series models takes the seasonal variation in variance, as well as the ARCH effect in the residuals, into account. Therefore, an ARMA-GARCH (Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) error model is proposed to capture the ARCH effect present in daily streamflow series, as well as to preserve seasonal variation in variance in the residuals. The ARMA-GARCH error model combines an ARMA model for modelling the mean behaviour and a GARCH model for modelling the variance behaviour of the residuals from the ARMA model. Since the GARCH model is not followed widely in statistical hydrology, the work can be a useful addition in terms of statistical modelling of daily streamflow processes for the hydrological community.

Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models are important in many fields and applications, although they are most widely applied in time series analysis. Expanding the ARMA models to the case of various complex data is arguably one of the more challenging problems in time series analysis and mathematical statistics. In this study, we extended the ARMA model to the case of linguistic data that can be modeled by some symmetric fuzzy sets, and where the relations between the linguistic data of the time series can be considered as the ordinary stochastic correlation rather than fuzzy logical relations. Therefore, the concepts of set-valued or interval-valued random variables can be employed, and the notions of Aumann expectation, Fréchet variance, and covariance, as well as standardized process, were used to construct the ARMA model. We firstly determined that the estimators from the least square estimation of the ARMA (1,1) model under some L2 distance between two sets are weakly consistent. Moreover, the justified linguistic data-valued ARMA model was applied to forecast the linguistic monthly Hang Seng Index (HSI) as an empirical analysis. The obtained results from the empirical analysis indicate that the accuracy of the prediction produced from the proposed model is better than that produced from the classical one-order, two-order, three-order autoregressive (AR(1), AR(2), AR(3)) models, as well as the (1,1)-order autoregressive moving average (ARMA(1,1)) model.

This paper proposes a novel adaptive integrated navigation filtering method based on autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. The main idea in this study is to employ ARMA/GARCH model to estimate statistical characteristics of filtering residual series online, namely, the conditional mean and conditional standard deviation, and then the filter parameters are adaptively adjusted based on forecasted results of ARMA/GARCH model in order to improve the reliability of the system when there are abnormal disturbance and other uncertain factors in real condition. On this basis, experiment is used to verify the validity of the method. The simulation results demonstrate that the ARMA/GARCH model can well capture the unusual condition of GPS receiver output, and this adaptive filtering method can effectively improve the reliability of the system.

Time-varying parameters identification in linear system is considered, which can be changed into time-invariant coefficient polynomials after Taylor expansion. Using response data to establish the time-varying autoregressive moving average (TV-ARMA) model, then utilizing least-square algorithm to obtain time-invariant coefficients of time-varying parameters. According to error analysis, to reduce errors and improve accuracy, the estimation time is divided into small internals and the above method is used in each interval. Simulation shows that, under certain error condition, the time-varying parameters obtained by the method have good agreement with the theoretical values; the measures taken have strong anti-interference and high efficiency.

We investigate the power of time series analysis based on a variety of information-theoretic approaches from statistics (AIC, BIC) and machine learning (Minimum Message Length) - and we then compare their efficacy with traditional time series model and with hybrids involving deep learning. More specifically, we develop AIC, BIC and Minimum Message Length (MML) ARMA (autoregressive moving average) time series models - with this Bayesian information-theoretic MML ARMA modelling already being new work. We then study deep learning based algorithms in time series forecasting, using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), and we then combine this with the ARMA modelling to produce a hybrid ARMA-LSTM prediction. Part of the purpose of the use of LSTM is to seek capture any hidden information in the residuals left from the traditional ARMA model. We show that MML not only outperforms earlier statistical approaches to ARMA modelling, but we further show that the hybrid MML ARMA-LSTM models outperform both ARMA models and LSTM models.
