Zhao, Xiujie (author), Chen, P. (author), Lv, Shanshan (author), He, Zhen (author)Return of products within the warranty coverage induces additional cost and loss of reputation to manufacturers. It is of practical interest to predict the return rate by experimental means before introducing a product to the market. In this paper, we propose to optimize accelerated reliability tests to achieve the goal within limited time....journal article 2023

Fu, Sheng (author), Chen, P. (author), Ye, Zhisheng (author)The multicategory support vector machine (MSVM) has been widely used for multicategory classification. Despite its widespread popularity, regular MSVM cannot provide direct probabilistic results and suffers from excessive computational cost, as it is formulated on the hinge loss function and it solves a sum-to-zero constrained quadratic...journal article 2023

Wang, Jinyang (author), Chen, P. (author), Ye, Zhisheng (author)The rate reduction models have been widely used to model the recurrent failure data for their capabilities in quantifying the repair effects. Despite the widespread popularity, there have been limited studies on statistical inference of most failure rate reduction models. In view of this fact, this study proposes a semiparametric estimation...journal article 2022

Chen, P. (author), Buis, K. (author), Zhao, Xiujie (author)The gamma distribution is one of the most important parametric models in probability theory and statistics. Although a multitude of studies have theoretically investigated the properties of the gamma distribution in the literature, there is still a serious lack of tailored statistical tools to facilitate its practical applications. To fill...journal article 2022

Zhao, Xiujie (author), Chen, P. (author), Gaudoin, Olivier (author), Doyen, Laurent (author)This study proposes a framework to analyze accelerated degradation testing (ADT) data in the presence of inspection effects. Motivated by a real dataset from the electric industry, we study two types of effects induced by inspections. After each inspection, the system degradation level instantaneously reduces by a random value. Meanwhile, the...journal article 2021

Wang, Zhijie (author), Zhai, Qingqing (author), Chen, P. (author)The performance of units in the same batch can exhibit considerable heterogeneity due to the variation in the raw materials and fluctuation in the manufacturing process. For products suffering performance degradation in their use, such heterogeneity often results in an increase in the dispersion of the degradation paths of units in a...journal article 2021

Jiang, Peng (author), Fu, Xiuju (author), Fan, Yee Van (author), Klemeš, Jiří Jaromír (author), Chen, P. (author), Ma, Stefan (author), Zhang, Wanbing (author)Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) poses a significant threat to the population and urban sustainability worldwide. The surge mitigation is complicated and associates many factors, including the pandemic status, policy, socioeconomics and resident behaviours. Modelling and analytics with spatial-temporal big urban data are required to assist...journal article 2021

Early dengue outbreak detection modeling based on dengue incidences in Singapore during 2012 to 2017Chen, P. (author), Fu, Xiuju (author), Ma, Stefan (author), Xu, Hai Yan (author), Zhang, Wanbing (author), Xiao, Gaoxi (author), Siow Mong Goh, Rick (author), Xu, George (author), Ching Ng, Lee (author)Dengue has been as an endemic with year-round presence in Singapore. In the recent years 2013, 2014, and 2016, there were several severe dengue outbreaks, posing serious threat to the public health. To proactively control and mitigate the disease spread, early warnings of dengue outbreaks, at which there are rapid and large-scale spread of...journal article 2020

Chen, P. (author)Maritime transportation has been one of the major contributors to the global trade and economy. Accidents, however, have been continuously posing risks to individuals and societies in terms of loss of human life, economic and environmental consequences, etc. This thesis paid particular attention to the probabilistic risk analysis of ship...doctoral thesis 2020

Hu, Jiawen (author), Chen, P. (author)The remaining useful lifetime (RUL) estimated from the in-situ degradation data has shown to be useful for online predictive maintenance. In the literature, the RUL is often estimated by assuming a soft-failure threshold for the degradation data. In practice, however, systems may not be subject to the degradation-induced soft failures....journal article 2020

Huang, Y. (author), Chen, L. (author), Chen, P. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Collision prevention is critical for navigation safety at sea. At early ages, researchers aimed at developing navigational assistance systems for enhancing situational awareness of human operators as human is at the core of collision avoidance. Recently, autonomous vehicles have gained a remarkable amount of attention with a focus on solving...review 2020

Chen, P. (author), Engel, Philip (author), Mazur, Adam (author), Abélard, Clément (author), Urbach, Paul (author)Accurate optical modeling for design and optimization of liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulators (LCoS SLMs) is important for phase-related applications. Traditional matrix method cannot accurately predict the optical performance when the LC distribution is complex, therefore the rigorous finite element method (FEM) is preferred....conference paper 2020

Chen, P. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author), Mou, Junmin (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)In this research, a hybrid approach for global path planning for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) is proposed, which generates the shortest path considering the collision risk and the proximity between path and obstacles. The collision risk concerning obstacles is obtained using Time-Varying Collision Risk (TCR) concept, taking into...journal article 2020

Li, Mengxia (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Liu, Rongfang (author), Chen, P. (author), Dong, Zhuojian (author), He, Yixiong (author)Following the growth in global trade activities, vessel traffic has increased dramatically in some busy waterways and ports. However, such increments have made it more complex to manage the regional vessel traffic, which can increase the risk of an accident in the area. To model and analyze the relationship between vessel traffic and maritime...journal article 2019

(author)A 25 keV focused helium ion beam has been used to grow PtC nanopillars on a silicon substrate by beam-induced decomposition of a (CH3)3Pt(CPCH3) precursor gas. The ion beam diameter was about 1 nm. The observed relatively high growth rates suggest that electronic excitation is the dominant mechanism in helium ion-beam-induced deposition. Pillars...journal article 2010
