<p>After the M8.2 earthquake occurred on September 07, 2017 at Isthmus of Tehuantepec, notable spatial and temporal changes where<br>registered, the temporal rate of occurrence increased and the spatial seismicity distribution showed a clear clusterization along<br>the region of collision of the Tehuantepec Transform/Ridge with the Middle America Trench off Chiapas. Also, the b-value in the<br>Gutenberg-Richer law showed changes in time. On the basis of that behavior we studied the sequence of magnitudes of the<br>earthquakes occurred within the Isthmus of Tehuantepec at southern Mexico from 2010 to 2020, by using the nowcasting method<br>and the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis. Our findings suggest the b-value could depend on time and after the main-shock<br>M8.2, the underlying dynamics in the Tehuantepec ridge has been changed, which is clearly described by our analyses based on<br>nowcasting method and in the multifractality estimated changes.</p>

A novel multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis based on improved empirical mode decomposition for the non-linear and non-stationary vibration signal of machinery is proposed. As the intrinsic mode functions selection and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test are utilized in the detrending procedure, the present approach is quite available for contaminated data sets. The intrinsic mode functions selection is employed to deal with the undesired intrinsic mode functions named pseudocomponents, and the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test works on each intrinsic mode function and Gaussian noise to detect the noise-like intrinsic mode functions. The proposed method is adaptive to the signal and weakens the effect of noise, which makes this approach work well for vibration signals collected from poor working conditions. We assess the performance of the proposed procedure through the classic multiplicative cascading process. For the pure simulation signal, our results agree with the theoretical results, and for the contaminated time series, the proposed method outperforms the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis methods. In addition, we analyze the vibration signals of rolling bearing with different fault types, and the presence of multifractality is confirmed.

This study aims to present an efficient model for autodetection of cardiac arrhythmia by the diagnosis of self-affinity and identification of governing processes of a number of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals taken from MIT-BIH database. In this work, the proposed model includes statistical methods to find the diagnosis pattern for detecting cardiac abnormalities which is useful for the computer aided system for arrhythmia detection. First, the Rescale Range (R/S) analysis has been employed for ECG signals to understand the scaling property of ECG signals. The value of Hurst exponent identifies the presence of abnormality in ECG signals taken for consideration with 92.58% accuracy. In this study, Higuchi method which deals with unifractality or monofractality of signals has been applied and it is found that unifractality is sufficient to detect arrhythmia with 91.61% accuracy. The Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) has been used over the present signals to identify and confirm the multifractality. The nature of multifractality is different for arrhythmia patients and normal heart condition. The multifractal analysis is useful to detect abnormalities with 93.75% accuracy. Finally, the autocorrelation analysis has been used to identify the prevalent governing process in the present arrhythmic ECG signals and study confirms that all the signals are governed by stationary autoregressive methods of certain orders. In order to increase the overall efficiency, this present model deals with analyzing all the statistical features extracted from different statistical techniques for a large number of ECG signals of normal and abnormal heart condition. Finally, the result of present analysis altogether possibly indicates that the proposed model is efficient to detect cardiac arrhythmia with 99.3% accuracy.

MapReduce is a widely adopted parallel programming model. The standard MapReduce model is designed for data-intensive processing. However, some machine learning algorithms are computation-intensive and time-consuming tasks which process the same data set repeatedly. In this paper, we proposed an improved MapReduce model for computation-intensive algorithms. The model is constructed from a service combination perspective. In the model, the whole task is divided into lots of subtasks taking account into the algorithms parameters, and the datagram with acknowledgement mechanism is used as the communication channel among cluster workers. We took the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis algorithm as an example to demonstrate the model.
