Improved decomposition strategy based recurrent ensemble deep random vector functional link network for forecasting short-term electricity price by Ranjeeta Bisoi, P.K. Dash, Someswari Perla

“…SVMD is used to transform the non-linear and non-stationary electricity price time series successively into a set of regular sub-series known as intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Therefore this new approach does not need to know the number of modes apriori like the widely used variational mode decomposition (VMD), resulting with less computational complexity and more robustness in comparison to VMD. …”

Multiple Scattering Properties Based on Modified Microsurface pBRDF Model by Youfei Hao, Jin Duan, Ju Liu, Jiahao Yang, Juntong Zhan

“…Different material types of the target surface can be expressed by the scattering polarization properties, and the use of polarization to characterise the target more effectively is a highly interesting topic. However, the existing polarized bidirectional reflection distribution function (pBRDF) based on microfacet theory for modelling light transmission over rough surfaces is not general. …”
