Der vierte Teil der Schriftenreihe "Trading" präsentiert eine statistische Auswertung von Kursdaten bei einer Haltefrist von einem Handelstag. Die Statistik beinhaltet Gewinnfaktor bzw. Rendite und Investitionsgrad aus Teil 1 sowie Volatilität, Chance, Risiko und Handelskosten, welche in Teil 3 eingeführt wurden. Kaufbedingungen werden wie in Teil 1 mit Hilfe des Kursverhältnisses an zwei aufeinander folgenden Handelstagen gebildet. Die Auswertung für den Markt FEBRDUSA_1 historischer Kursdaten liefert eine in sich schlüssige Beschreibung des Einflussfaktors Kaufbedingung auf die künftige Kursentwicklung. Den größten Gewinn liefert eine Mean Reversion-Strategie, bei der die Chance deutlich über dem Risiko liegt. Da die Statistik die Begrenzung eingegangener Neuinvestitionen berücksichtigt, werden Übertreibungen vermieden, die einer arithmetischen Mittelwertbildung anhaften. Die statische Auswertung für einen mit Random Walks gebildeten Markt bestätigt, dass für diesen Fall keine Abhängigkeit von der Kaufbedingung besteht.
The PSFC, or Pioneer sound field control system, is a DSP-driven hemispherical 14-loudspeaker array, installed at the University of Aizu Multimedia Center. Collocated with a large screen rear-projection stereographic display the PSFC features realtime control of virtual room characteristics and direction of two separate sound channels, smoothly steering them around a configurable soundscape. The PSFC controls an entire sound field, including sound direction, virtual distance, and simulated environment (reverb level, room size and liveness) for each source. It can also configure a dry (DSP-less) switching matrix for direct directionalization. The PSFC speaker dome is about 14 m in diameter, allowing about twenty users at once to comfortably stand or sit near its sweet spot.
In a virtual reality environment users are immersed in a scene with objects which might produce sound. The responsibility of a VR environment is to present these objects, but a system has only limited resources, including spatialization channels (mixels), MIDI/audio channels, and processing power. The sound spatialization resource manager controls sound resources and optimizes fidelity (presence) under given conditions. For that a priority scheme based on human psychophysical hearing is needed. Parameters for spatialization priorities include intensity calculated from volume and distance, orientation in the case of non-uniform radiation patterns, occluding objects, frequency spectrum (low frequencies are harder to localize), expected activity, and others. Objects which are spatially close together (depending on distance and direction) can be mixed. Sources that can not be spatialized can be treated as a single ambient sound source. Important for resource management is the resource assignment, i.e., minimizing swap operations, which makes it desirable to look-ahead and predict upcoming events in a scene. Prediction is achieved by monitoring objects’ speed and past evaluation values. Fidelity is contrasted for Zifferent kind of resource restrictions and optimal resource assignment based upon unlimited dynamic scene look-ahead. To give standard and comparable results, the VRML 2.0 specification is used as an application programmer interface. Applicability is demonstrated with a helical keyboard, a polyphonic MIDI stream driven animation including user interaction (user moves around, playing together with programmed notes). The developed sound spatialization resource manager gives improved spatialization fidelity under runtime constraints. Application programmers and virtual reality scene designers are freed from the burden of assigning and predicting the sound sources.
The PSFC, or Pioneer Sound Field Controller, is a DSP-driven hemispherical loudspeaker array, installed at the University of Aizu Multimedia Center. The PSFC features realtime manipulation of the primary components of sound spatialization for each of two audio sources located in a virtual environment, including the content (apparent direction and distance) and context (room characteristics: reverberation level, room size and liveness). In an alternate mode, it can also direct the destination of the two separate input signals across 14 loudspeakers, manipulating the direction of the virtual sound sources with no control over apparent distance other than that afforded by source loudness (including no simulated environmental reflections or reverberation). The PSFC speaker dome is about 10 m in diameter, accommodating about fifty simultaneous users, including about twenty users comfortably standing or sitting near its ``sweet spot,'' the area in which the illusions of sound spatialization are most vivid. Collocated with a large screen rear-projection stereographic display, the PSFC is intended for advanced multimedia and virtual reality applications.
