The article discusses the issues of improving the efficiency of decision support activities on a relatively large amount of information. The research relevance is associated with the increasing complexity of control objects, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of decision-making based on the personal experience of decision-makers, up to complete impossibility. The purpose of the ar-ticle is to analyze the problems faced by decision-makers and the creation of methods to improve the effectiveness of decision-making in typical situations. The article examines the main compo-nents of the intelligent subsystem of the decision support system, which require the use of analytical tools, and also forms the methods interaction structure necessary for the effective formation of sce-narios of information support for decision making. To achieve the goals, a decision support method based on an intelligent component was used, which is aimed at creating an effective infrastructure to sup-port decision-making; methods of identification and categorization, designed to implement the most accurate and correct comparison of the characteristics (state) of the observed situation and the characteristics of a typical situation stored in the knowledge base; correlation methods aimed at finding dependencies between the characteristics of situations and scenarios to solve problems associated with these situa-tions; a method for constructing subject qualimetry, used to form a predictive model to assess the degree of compliance of the selected scenario for solving the current situation. As a result, it was de-termined that an important aspect of decision-making in typical situations is the most accurate identification of the state of the situation, the choice of the best scenario for implementing the solu-tion for this situation and the analysis of the consequences of the selected set of measures. To solve these problems, a method for identifying a situation, a method for finding solution scenarios and a qualimetric method for predicting the effectiveness of the selected scenario have been formed. The article concludes that decision-making activities based on the accumulated experience can be im-proved by using the proposed methods and implementing a decision support system with an intelli-gent component.

The importance of production planning for improving the performance indicators of a mining enterprise is indicated. The possibility of simulation modeling using for this aim is shown. It is shown that the created model has a large number of stochastic parameters. It is investigated that there is a problem of research lack about the choice influence of the mining modeling results with different statistical distributions. It is known that with an increase in stochastic deviations from the initial parameters, the productivity of queuing systems decreases. Purpose of work is to study this influence with four statistical distributions of a random quantity (uniform, normal, negative bi-nomial and Poisson distribution) for individual operations and their combinations. In addition, it is necessary to determine how much a change in one particular parameter will affect the overall result of the modeling. Materials and methods. In the previously created simulation model, a stochastic delay is added to the time of individual operations. The addition of such a delay with different sta-tistical distributions and with the same mathematical expectation is investigated. The simulation re-sults are compared with each other, for each individual operation the absolute and relative devia-tion of the results is shown. Further, a similar simulation is performed when all the simultaneously selected parameters changing. Result. It is shown that the magnitude of the deviation significantly differs among all deviations. It is shown that for various single changes in operations, the largest and smal-lest deviations can be given by different statistical distributions. To study the joint change with all parameters, 3 modeling scenarios are implemented: all uniform distributions (this case is used now), the scenario with the smallest deviation and the scenario with the largest deviation. It is shown that switching to another scenario leads to a significant change in the simulation. Conclusion. It is con-cluded that the used significant influence of statistical distributions choice to the accuracy of model-ing the operation of the mining machine is shown, especially when they are taken into account to-gether. The results can be used to clarify the influence of individual factors in the simulation model and improve the planning of potash mining operations, for individual mining machines too.

Time series, i.e. data collected at various times. The data collection segments may differ de-pending on the task. Time series are used for decision making. Time series analysis allows you to get some result that will determine the format of the decision. Time series analysis was carried out in very ancient times, for example, various calendars became a consequence of the analysis. Later, time series analysis was applied to study and forecast economic, social and other systems. Time se-ries appeared a long time ago. Once upon a time, ancient Babylonian astronomers, studying the po-sition of the stars, discovered the frequency of eclipses, which allowed them to predict their appearance in the future. Later, the analysis of time series, in a similar way, led to the creation of various calen-dars, for example, harvest calendars. In the future, in addition to natural areas, social and economic ones were added. Aim. Search for classification patterns of time series, allowing to understand whether it is possible to apply the ARIMA model for their short-term (3 counts) forecast. Materials and methods. Special software with ARIMA implementation and all need services is made. We examined 59 data sets with a short length and step equal a year, less than 20 values in the paper. The data was processed using Python libraries: Statsmodels and Pandas. The Dickey – Fuller test was used to de-termine the stationarity of the series. The stationarity of the time series allows for better forecasting. The Akaike information criterion was used to select the best model. Recommendations for a rea-sonable selection of parameters for adjusting ARIMA models are obtained. The dependence of the settings on the category of annual data set is shown. Conclusion. After processing the data, four categories (patterns) of year data sets were identified. Depending on the category ranges of parame-ters were selected for tuning ARIMA models. The suggested ranges will allow to determine the starting parameters for exploring similar datasets. Recommendations for improving the quality of post-forecast and forecast using the ARIMA model by adjusting the settings are given.

The problem of bulkiness of mathematical models of manipulative systems of industrial robots is solved. Here we consider formulas for calculating static reactions in joints and formulas for active forces that balance the forces of gravity acting on the manipulator's bodies in its stationary state. The manipulator can be in such a state when it is before capturing the object of manipulation and releasing it, or when it is performing some assembly operations, or it is during spot welding and in slow (quasi-static) arc-welding and painting processes. Aim. The aim is to derive general recur-rence and finite formulas for calculating the reaction forces in joints and their projections to the ax-es of the coordinate system rigidly connected with the selected body. Express the formulas of force projections in terms of guiding cosines and justify their optimality in terms of the minimum of arithmetic operations. Derive general inverse recurrence formulas for writing out the guide cosines of the axes associated with the moving bodies of the coordinate system with respect to the stationary coordinate system. Research methods. The methods of research relate to vector mechanics and sys-tems analysis, and the algorithmization of calculations by reducing them to the use of recurrent formulas. Results. A systematic analysis of general formulas, in which all possible regular expres-sions are highlighted which are corresponding unambiguously to the kinematic parameters of ma-nipulators, is performed. These regular expressions are used in software for analytical modeling of manipulator, in particular, for the analytical solution of problems of statics of a manipulator. The method of analytical verification of the prescribed formulas is described. The tasks of writing out optimal formulas for calculating the projections of static reaction forces in joints have been solved. And the tasks of writing out optimal formulas for calculating active forces in progressive joints of universal manipulators with six degrees of freedom, operating in Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical and angular coordinate systems, have been solved also. Analytical verification of the derived equations of stat-ics is performed. Examples of the reuse of the derived formulas for manipulators with the same kin-ematic schemes of their subsystems. Conclusion. Expressions of the equations of statics of manipu-lators through the guide cosines of the axes of the associated coordinate systems of their bodies al-low us to write these equations through the known parameters of body orientation. The recurrent formulas for calculating directional cosines allows to use recursive functions in their software im-plementation, i.e. to increase the computational efficiency of the software.

The collective agent coordination problem in organizational behavior systems is consider. In particular, the problem of coordinating of the agents’ interests to assess the degree of achieve-ment of the corporate strategic targets. The relevance of the problem is due to the need to increase the speed of decision-making, the speed of reaction to changes in the external environment, which can be achieved using appropriate control mechanisms. Aim. Improving methods of collective deci-sion making under circumstances where agents have different ranks of significance. Materials and methods. Methods comprise the integrated rating mechanisms and the generalized median voter schemes. The mathematical apparatus was chosen is contingent on the group decision making in organizational systems. Active agents strives to maximize his target function in the process of inter-action, which leads to a conflict of interests and a desire to distort information. The chosen methods allow these problems to be solved. The first ones are used to aggregate indicators that reflect the de-gree of achievement of the private goals of the organization at the strategic level. The second ones are used to identification the true agents’ opinions about the type of target index convolution matri-ces. Results. The matrix non-anonymous generalized median mechanism is proposed. The non-anonymous statement allows taking into account the interests of agents with different ranks. It is shown how to reduce non-anonymous procedure to an anonymous one. Decisions making process about all elements of the convolution matrices in integrated rating mechanisms with using anony-mous median voter scheme is strategy proofnees. However, the results of aggregation are not stabil-ity to the agent strategic behavior in cases of application anonymous or non-anonymous coordina-tion procedures. The new integrated mechanism based on the synthesis of known control mecha-nisms is proposed to overcome the discovered problem. Conclusion. The statement of the problem corresponds to the real procedures of decision making by governance board, when the opinion of one agent turns out to be more significant than the opinion of another agent. The developed mech-anism makes it possible to agree on the opinions of experts on the degree of achievement of the strategic goals of the organization; it can also be adapted to solve other applied problems, for ex-ample, making a decision on the choice of a project, assessing risks, assessing suppliers, etc.

The importance of the problem of ore averaging at potash enterprises and the search for the optimal set of measures to eliminate the problem are shown. The problem of a large spread of insol-uble residues in the potash enterprises of the Verkhnekamsky District is identified. At the moment, it is solved by bunker averaging, but this does not always work effectively. It was suggested to use the previously described method of meaningful distribution in the warehouse and targeted sampling depending on the composition. A mathematical model of loading and unloading of the warehouse was constructed; algorithms and calculation of the coordinates of the point of discharge and extrac-tion of ore were proposed, depending on the content of insoluble residue and potassium chloride in the ore. This method excludes the possibility of manufacturing defects and carries out the averaging of raw materials in an optimal way. According to the indicators in the simulation model, targeted sampling in the warehouse reduces the percentage spread of insoluble residues in the ore. It was de-cided to investigate the sampling process in the warehouse for identification. Purpose of work is to test the possibility of controlling the sample as a conventional technological object using a propor-tional-integral-differentiating controller. To do this, the control object was identified, namely: a sin-gle impact jump was applied to the system input. Materials and methods. The standard impact was modeled on a previously developed warehouse simulation model, where the geometric parameters of the warehouse, the physical parameters of the ore elements, as well as the parameters of the noz-zle and scraper movement are set. With its help, potassium chloride from ore is conducted. The re-sults of the ore sampling are recorded for the initial installations, and then after a five percent jump. The simulation results are presented as a normalized graph for comparing the results and determin-ing the behavior of the system. Result. The resulting array of values was moved to the previously developed transfer function calculator. Based on the values found, a smoothed normalized graph was constructed, which had to be identified. As a result of this work, the transfer function of the first-order aperiodic link with a delay was obtained. Conclusion. When analyzing the graphs, a con-clusion about the validity of the obtained function was made. Based on the obtained arrays of val-ues, an error of 6,5% was calculated. The transfer function has been identified, so the sample in the warehouse can be controlled using a proportional-integral-differentiating controller.

Currently, the problems of distortion of measurement data by noise and the appearance of un-certainties in quality criteria have caused increased interest in research in the field of spline approx-imation. At the same time, existing methods of minimizing empirical risk, assuming that the noise is a uniform distribution with heavier tails than Gaussian, limit the scope of application of these studies. The problem of estimating noise-distorted data is usually based on solving an optimi-zation problem with a function containing uncertainty arising from the problem of finding optimal parameters. In this regard, the estimation of distorted noise cannot be solved by classical methods. Aim. This study is aimed at solving and analyzing the problem of spline approximation of data under uncertainty conditions based on the parametrization of control and the gradient projec-tion algorithm. Methods. The study of the problem of spline approximation of noisy data is carried out by the method of approximation of the piecewise constant control function. In this case, para-metrization of the control is possible only for a finite number of break points of the first kind. In the framework of the experimental study, the gradient projection algorithm is used for the numerical solution of the spline approximation problem. The proposed methods are used to study the parameters of the problem of spline approximation of data under conditions of uncertain-ty. Results. The numerical study of the control parametrization approach and the gradient projec-tion algorithm is based on the developed software and algorithmic tool for solving the problem of the spline approximation model under uncertainty. To evaluate the noise-distorted data, numerical experiments were conducted to study the model parameters and it was found that increasing the value of the parameter α leads to an increase in accuracy, but a loss of smoothness. In addition, the analysis showed that the considered distribution laws did not change the accuracy and convergence rate of the algorithm. Conclusion. The proposed approach for solving the problem of spline approx-imation under uncertainty conditions allows us to determine the problems of distortion of measure-ment data by noise and the appearance of uncertainties in the quality criteria. The study of the model parameters showed that the constructed system is stable to the error of the initial approxima-tion, and the distribution laws do not significantly affect the accuracy and convergence of the gra-dient projection method.

In the Russian Federation, the agro-industrial complex is one of the leading sectors of the eco-nomy with a volume of domestic product of 4.5%. Russia owns 10 % of all arable land in the world. According to the data on the sown areas by crops in 2020, most of the agricultural area of Russia is occupied by wheat. The Russian Federation ranks third in the ranking of leading countries in the production of this type of grain crops, as well as leading positions in its export. Brown (leaf) and linear (stem) rust is the most harmful disease of grain crops. It is the reason for the sparseness of wheat crops and leads to a sharp decrease in yield. Therefore, one of the main tasks of farmers is to preserve the crop from diseases. The application of such areas of artificial intelligence as computer vision, machine learning and deep learning is able to cope with this task. These artificial intelligence technologies allow us to successfully solve applied problems of the agro-industrial complex using automated analysis of photographic materials. Aim. To consider the application of computer vision methods for the problem of classification of lesions of cultivated plants on the example of wheat. Materials and methods. The CGIAR Computer Vision for Crop Disease dataset for the crop disease recognition task is taken from the open source Kaggle. It is proposed to use an approach to the re-cognition of lesions of cultivated plants using the well-known neural network models ResNet50, DenseNet169, VGG16 and EfficientNet-B0. Neural network models receive images of wheat as in-put. The output of neural networks is the class of plant damage. To overcome the effect of overfit-ting neural networks, various regularization techniques are investigated. Results. The results of the classification quality, estimated by the software using the F1-score metric, which is the average harmonic between the Precision and Recall measures, are presented. Conclusion. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that the DenseNet model showed the best recognition accuracy us-ing a combination of transfer learning technology and DropOut and L2 regulation technologies to overcome the effect of retraining. The use of this approach allowed us to achieve a recognition ac-curacy of 91%.
