Contributions à l’identification de modèles avec des erreurs en les variables / Contributions to errors-in-variables model identification

Thil, Stéphane 04 December 2007 (has links)
La procédure d'identification consiste à rechercher un modèle mathématique adéquat pour un système donné à partir de données expérimentales et de connaissances disponibles a priori. La majorité des techniques ont été développées sous l'hypothèse d'un signal d'entrée parfaitement connu. Or, dans certains cas, celui-ci est également mesuré avec un capteur, et sa connaissance est autant sujette à erreur que celle de la sortie. C'est cette dernière situation où l'entrée et la sortie du système sont entachées de bruits -- nommée identification de modèles "avec des erreurs en les variables" (EIV) -- qui est étudiée. Le chapitre d'introduction permet de motiver l'intérêt porté aux modèles EIV. Le problème est ensuite formellement posé, avant la mise en évidence de quelques-unes des difficultés qui lui sont inhérentes. Le second chapitre traite de l'identification de modèles à temps discret, et est lui-même divisé en deux parties. La première partie s'intéresse aux méthodes utilisant les statistiques d'ordre deux. Après avoir exposé les principales méthodes existantes, une présentation unifiée des méthodes de compensation du biais de l'estimateur des moindres carrés est donnée. Différents estimateurs fondés sur la technique de la variable instrumentale sont ensuite proposés. La seconde partie du chapitre porte sur les méthodes ayant recours aux statistiques d'ordre supérieur. Après un rapide état de l'art, les estimateurs des moindres carrés et des moindres carrés itératifs fondés sur l'équation du modèle, vérifiée par les cumulants, sont présentés. Enfin, le chapitre se conclut par l'obtention de l'expression de la matrice de covariance asymptotique de l'estimateur des moindres carrés fondés sur les cumulants d'ordre trois, proposé auparavant. Le chapitre trois traite de l'identification de modèles EIV à temps continu. Si l'identification de modèles EIV à temps discret a fait l'objet de nombreux travaux au cours des dernières années, le cas des modèles à temps continu n'a en revanche été que très peu étudié. Après avoir exposé l'intérêt particulier des méthodes directes d'identification de modèles à temps continu, un état de l'art est dressé, au cours duquel nous présentons sur les rares méthodes existantes. Des estimateurs ayant recours aux cumulants d'ordre trois et d'ordre quatre sont ensuite proposés. Ils permettent en particulier de s'affranchir des hypothèses structurelles sur les bruits en entrée et en sortie, et par conséquent de traiter le cas général de bruit colorés (et même mutuellement corrélés) en entrée et en sortie. / System identification is an established field in the area of system analysis and control. It aims at determining mathematical models for dynamical systems based on measured data. Most of the techniques that have been developed assume the input signal to be perfectly known. However, there are cases when the input signal is measured, and thus also noise-corrupted. This situation, where the input signal and the output signal are both affected by noises -- named `errors-in-variables' (EIV) model identification -- is considered in the thesis. In the introduction chapter, the use of EIV models is motivated. The problem considered is then formally stated, before underlining some of its inherent difficulties. The second chapter deals with the identification of discrete-time EIV models, and is itself divided into two parts. The first part is about methods based on second-order statistics. In a first step, the main existing methods are recalled. A unified presentation of the various methods that aim at compensating the bias of the least squares estimate is then given. Afterwards, instrumental variable estimators are studied and a few estimators are proposed. The second part of the chapter deals with methods based on higher-order statistics. After a summary of the available methods, the least squares and iterative least squares methods are introduced, using the fact that the equation of the model is verified by the cumulants. The chapter ends with the computation of the expression of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the least squares estimate based on the third-order cumulants, that has been proposed earlier. The third chapter is dedicated to the identification of continuous-time EIV models. While the identification of discrete-time errors-in-variables models has been extensively studied, continuous-time EIV model identification is still in its infancy. The interest of the direct identification of continuous-time models is first underlined. A review of the few available methods is given, and then estimators using the third- and fourth-order cumulants are proposed. In particular, since no structural hypothesis on the noises is required, they allow to handle the general case of coloured (and even mutually correlated) noises on input and output of the system.

University President Compensation: A Complex Examination of its Determinants and Consequences

Keener, Sheila 01 January 2019 (has links)
This dissertation examined the controversy surrounding the high levels of compensation paid to university presidents. To do this, the first half of this dissertation includes a systematic review of the existing literature regarding the relation between university performance and university president compensation in nonprofit universities. The second half of this dissertation attempts to replicate the findings from the systematic review with more current data. Several gaps identified in the literature, including the effects of analyzing specific compensation components, the effect of university president compensation on subsequent university performance, potential nonlinear relations, and how relations between university performance and university president compensation change over time, are examined as well. Specific hypotheses and research questions are derived from compensation and motivation theories used in the for-profit context as well as findings from both the for-profit and nonprofit executive compensation literature. Results indicated that university performance had a weak effect on compensation in private universities and no effect in public universities. Findings suggested that there may be differences in this effect depending on the component of compensation examined. Compensation appears to have a negative or nil effect on subsequent university performance. Evidence of differential effects over time were not observed. Although some nonlinear effects were detected, they did not take the form expected. Potential reasons for these findings, as well as their implications for research and practice, are discussed.

Team Identity and Performance-based Compensation Effects on Performance

Blazovich, Janell L. 16 January 2010 (has links)
This study investigates whether team members work harder and perform better when they are compensated based on both team and individual performance than when compensated based on team or individual performance alone and whether teammates? familiarity with one another influences the effectiveness of the compensation scheme. Four-member ad hoc student teams repeatedly complete an interdependent task on the computer in an experiment in which I manipulate individual compensation plan (flat wage or performance-based incentives), team compensation plan (flat wage or performance-based incentives), and teammate familiarity (identified teammates with pre-experiment interaction ? strong id or unidentified teammates with no pre-experiment interaction ? weak id). Results indicate that while the combination of team and individual performance-based compensation results in the highest performance, the incremental performance boost is higher from the first performance-based reward strategy, regardless of whether it is team or individual. Under both strong and weak identity, offering a combination of individual and team performance-based compensation results in comparable performance, suggesting that lower productivity levels associated with low team identity can be overcome with performance-based compensation. Together these results suggest that, regardless of team identity, firms can benefit from offering both team and individual performance-based compensation. However, companies should understand that the performance bump may be smaller from the second performance-based scheme.
