Dinaminio modelio sukūrimas ir taikymas indikatorių modeliavimui / Construction and application of dynamic model for indicator modelling

Lutynska, Anna Ewa 11 June 2014 (has links)
Įvairių sričių reiškinių matematiniai modeliai apima daug faktorių, kurie yra priklausomi nuo laiko, o taip pat pastebima jų tarpusavio priklausomybė. Vadinasi, norint nagrinėt šių reiškinių kitimo dėsnius, patartina sudaryti šių procesų dinaminį modelį. Šiame darbe dinaminio modelio sudarymui naudojami indikatoriai. Indikatorius tai specialus rodiklis, kuriuo pasinaudojus galima skaitiškai įvertinti svarbius analizuojamos srities faktorius. Indikatorių reikšmės gaunamos iš statistinių duomenų. Diferencialinių lygčių sistemos koeficientams skaičiuoti pristatomi du būdai: algebrinis ir mažiausių kvadratų metodai. Indikatorių išraiškas, gautas išsprendus diferencialinių lygčių sistemą, galima panaudoti prognozavimui. Tačiau įgyvendinant naujus projektus, šias indikatorių išraiškas reikia patikslinti, atsižvelgiant į naujus faktorius. Kadangi naujų faktorių reikšmės nėra tiksliai žinomos (gautos iš ekspertinio vertinimo), jų įtaka sistemai yra išreiškiama atsitiktiniu dydžiu su žinomu tikimybiniu skirstiniu. Naujų faktorių įtaka indikatoriams dinaminiame modelyje yra patikslinama Bajeso metodu. Kaip pavyzdys, sudarytas dinaminis modelis pritaikytas energijos tiekimo saugumo indikatorių modeliavimui. / In many areas mathematical models of processes take into acount variuos time dependent factors, they also can be dependent on each other. Thus, it is advisable to construct a dynamic model. In this master thesis we use indicators to describe dynamic model. An indicator is a special index, which provides numerical values to inportant factors for the investigated sector. The values of indicators are obtained from statistical data. There are presented two calculation ways of differential equations systems coefficients (using algebraic and least square methods). Furthermore created dynamic model enables us to forecast the dynamics of the indicators according to new factors. Since the parameters of different new factors are not exactly known (got from expert judgement), their influence on indicators are expressed as random variables with known probablistic distributions. Indicators model based on historical data is adjusted using a Bayesian approach. For practical demonstration of the proposed dynamic model energy security assessment indicators were chosen.
