In this paper, we consider the problem of extraction of most informative features from time series that are regarded as observed values of stochastic processes satisfying the It{ô} stochastic differential equations with unknown random drift and diffusion coefficients. We do not attract any additional information and use only the information contained in the time series as it is. Therefore, as additional features, we use the parameters of statistically adjusted mixture-type models of the observed regularities of the behavior of the time series. Several algorithms of construction of these parameters are discussed. These algorithms are based on statistical reconstruction of the coefficients which, in turn, is based on statistical separation of normal mixtures. We obtain two types of parameters by the techniques of the uniform and non-uniform statistical reconstruction of the coefficients of the underlying It{ô} process. The reconstructed coefficients obtained by uniform techniques do not depend on the current value of the process, while the non-uniform techniques reconstruct the coefficients with the account of their dependence on the value of the process. Actually, the non-uniform techniques used in this paper represent a stochastic analog of the Taylor expansion for the time series. The efficiency of the obtained additional features is compared by using them in the autoregressive algorithms of prediction of time series. In order to obtain pure conclusion that is not affected by unwanted factors, say, related to a special choice of the architecture of the neural network prediction methods, we used only simple autoregressive algorithms. We show that the use of additional statistical features improves the prediction.

The technology, developed by UIMC's Vega Radio Engineering Corporation, enables the unification of "the management of robotic systems with specially-designed interface protocols. Figuratively speaking, a unified point operator is able to'speak' the language of the various robotic systems," a company representative told RIA Novosti. The ability to engage in a'dialog' is not restricted to only one robotic system at a time, as the operator is able to control "a large number of different machines at once no matter what company has manufactured them and what software is being used to operate them." To enable such enviable multitasking, the company has created an 8-teraflop supercomputer which serves as the so-called'brain' of the complex management system. The computer, equipped with a liquid silicon cooling system can match the performance of about "40 [of the] most powerful laptops," according to the company.
