Identifying defective design elements is a prerequisite for design improvements. Previous identification methods were implemented in the context of static customer requirements (CRs). However, CRs always evolve continuously, which easily leads to a failure of existing product functions in fulfilling customer expectations; this, in turn, can lead to a decline in customer satisfaction. In this study, the phenomenon is termed as ‘function obsolescence’, and a data-driven identification approach for obsolete functions is proposed for design improvements. Firstly, product operating data are employed to construct the observing parameters of functional performance (OPs), and based on the distribution of OPs, the desired level of functional performance (DL) is defined to quantitatively characterise CRs. Secondly, the time series of DL is constructed to embody the evolution of CRs, in which a Sigmoid-like function is employed to establish a dissatisfaction function. With the time series, an obsolescence index measuring the severity of obsolescence for each function is defined to identify obsolete functions. A case study was implemented on a smart phone to identify its obsolete functions to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results show that some potentially obsolete functions can be identified by the proposed method considering the evolution of CRs.

AbstractWe propose a methodology for despiking ocean surface wave time series based on a Bayesian approach to data-driven learning known as Gaussian Process (GP) regression. We show that GP regression can be used for both robust detection of erroneous measurements and interpolation over missing values, while also obtaining a measure of the uncertainty associated with these operations. In comparison with a recent dynamical phase space-based despiking method, our data-driven approach is here shown to lead to improved wave signal correlation and spectral tail consistency, although at a significant increase in computational cost. Our results suggest that GP regression is thus especially suited for offline quality control requiring robust noise detection and replacement, where the subsequent analysis of the despiked data is sensitive to the accidental removal of extreme or rare events such as abnormal or rogue waves. We assess our methodology on measurements from an array of four co-located 5-Hz laser altimeters during a much-studied storm event the North Sea covering a wide range of sea states.

This brief paper proposes a dynamic data-driven method for stability monitoring of rotorcraft systems, where the underlying concept is built upon the principles of symbolic dynamics. The stability monitoring algorithm involves wavelet-packet-based preprocessing to remove spurious disturbances and to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the sensor time series. A quantified measure, called Instability Measure, is constructed from the processed time series data to obtain an estimate of the relative instability of the dynamic modes of interest on the rotorcraft system. The efficacy of the proposed method has been established with numerical simulations where correlations between the instability measure and the damping parameter(s) of selected dynamic mode(s) of the rotor blade are established.

In the Korea Flux Monitoring Network, Haenam Farmland has the longest record of carbon/water/energy flux measurements produced using the eddy covariance (EC) technique. Unfortunately, there are long gaps (i.e., gaps longer than 30 days), particularly in 2007 and 2014, which hinder attempts to analyze these decade-long time-series data. The open source and standardized gap-filling methods are impractical for such long gaps. The data-driven approach using machine learning and remote-sensing or reanalysis data (i.e., interpolating/extrapolating EC measurements via available networks temporally/spatially) for estimating terrestrial CO2/H2O fluxes at the regional/global scale is applicable after appropriate modifications. In this study, we evaluated the applicability of the data-driven approach for filling long gaps in flux data (i.e., gross primary production, ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem exchange, and evapotranspiration). We found that using a longer training dataset in the machine learning generally produced better model performance, although there was a greater possibility of missing interannual variations caused by ecosystem state changes (e.g., changes in crop variety). Based on the results, we proposed gap-filling strategies for long-period flux data gaps and used them to quantify the annual sums with uncertainties in 2007 and 2014. The results from this study have broad implications for long-period gap-filling at other sites, and for the estimation of regional/global CO2/H2O fluxes using a data-driven approach.

Interspecific interaction has been a key concept in ecology to understand the structure and dynamics of ecological communities. Important, yet often overlooked, is that an interspecific interaction is a product of multiple biological processes at various temporal and spatial scales, including changes in demographic parameters such as birth and death rates, behavioral responses such as inter-habitat movements, and hiding and evolutionary responses in a longer temporal scale. Each of those mechanisms, according to ecological theory, potentially affects population dynamics and modifies the community-level properties such as community complexity and stability in different manners. Here, a question arises: how does the net interspecific interaction, which is made up with those multiple processes, look like in the real nature? How do changes depend on the temporal or spatial scale? In this chapter we show that a data-driven approach using demographic time series is a powerful tool to answer those questions. According to nonlinear dynamics theory, a time series of a variable contains information about the dynamic system that the variable belongs to. We can use this fact to identify interspecific interactions, quantify their signs and strengths and evaluate its effect to community-level dynamic properties. Some results we got by applying the time-series analysis based on nonlinear dynamics theory (called Empirical Dynamic Modeling) to empirical demographic data, experimental or observational, will be presented, which will demonstrate how fluctuating and condition-dependent the real interactions are and reveal how those interactions give rise to the dynamic properties at higher organization levels.
