Non-parametric analysis of optimizing behavior with measurement error
(Elsevier, 1985)
We consider how one might test observed choice data for consistency with optimizing models in the presence of measurement error. We derive an appropriate test statistic and conduct case study involving cost minimization ...
Proof loading and structural reliability
(Elsevier, 1984)
Structural reliability depends on uncertainties in resistance and loads. In many practical cases the resistance dominates and a reduction of uncertainty about resistance is an effective way of increasing safety. It can be ...
DeviceNet reliability assessment using physical and data link layer parameters
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-11)
Since the 1990s, the increasing deployments of networked automation systems led to increased manufacturing productivity, improved interchangeability of devices from different vendors, facilitated flexibility and reconfigurability ...
Testing for autocorrelation in the autoregressive moving average error model
(Elsevier, 1973-12)
Essays in Financial and Insurance Mathematics.
(2012)
This dissertation consists of the following three parts: (i) We find the minimum probability of lifetime ruin of an investor who can invest in a market with a risky and a riskless asset. The price of the risky asset is ...
Noise smoothing for VR equipment in quaternions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
Smooth motion generation is an important issue in the computer animation and virtual reality (VR) area. In general, the motion of a rigid body consists of translation and orientation. The former is described by a space ...
Essays on Population Learning Dynamics and Boundedly Rational Behavior
(2009)
This dissertation contains four essays about evolutionary learning dynamics and the quantal response model of bounded rationality in game theory.
The first essay examines the use of single-agent and representative-agent ...
