We first review the concepts fundamental to the statistical inference procedures using nonparametric regression models. The global error properties of an estimator over its parameter space are employed to define a general framework that puts various existing optimality criteria and heuristics...

Current business conditions mandate greater competitive advantage from HR agendas and processes. To add greater competitive advantage, HR must contribute strategic value against criteria from customer and capital markets. HR can add strategic value either reactively or proactively. In its...

A method is presented for automated preparation of bootstrap data samples and their presentation to NONMEM for use in the validation of population pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic models, which have been developed with relatively small numbers of subjects. The bootstrap sampling procedure...

Amongst all the objectives in the study of time series, uncovering the dynamic law of its generation is probably the most important. When the underlying dynamics are not available, time series modelling consists of developing a model which best explains a sequence of observations. In this...

A significant body of research on advanced techniques for automated freeway incident detection has been conducted at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Such advanced pattern recognition techniques as artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been thoroughly investigated and their potential...

Proper prediction of traffic flow parameters is an essential component of any proactive traffic control system and one of the pillars of advanced management of dynamic traffic networks. In this paper, we present a new short term traffic flow prediction system based on an advanced Time Delay...

Az alábbi cikk az informatikai világ legsikeresebb cégeivel foglalkozó sorozat harmadik darabja a Microsoftról [3] és az Intelről [4] szóló tanulmányok után. Áttekinti a Netscape történetét, jövőképét, stratégiáit és taktikáit, belső vállalatszervezési módszereit,...

In electronic markets, the Internet creates new network structures that enable firms to integrate cross-functional activities at relatively low cost and eliminate non-value-adding activities. However, there is little empirical evidence on how structural characteristics of network organization...

The availability, modifiability, and performance of retail e-commerce websites(RECWEB) is greatly impacted by seasonal constraints. For many RECWEB, half of the calendar year is comprised of holidays and seasons. Spikes in website traffic and transactions can lower availability, modifiability,...

This paper describes an approach to design self-developing and self-tuning inferential soft sensors applicable to process industries. The proposal is for a Takagi-Sugeno-fuzzy system framework that has evolving (open structure) architecture, and an on-line (possibly real-time) learning...
