A decision maker needs predictions about the realization of a repeated experiment in each period. An expert provides a theory that, conditional on each finite history of outcomes, supplies a probabilistic prediction about the next outcome. However, there may be false experts without any...

Computers are an important part of modern education, yet many schoolchildren lack access to a computer at home. We test whether this impedes educational achievement by conducting the largest-ever field experiment that randomly provides free home computers to students. Although computer ownership...

Cloud computing changes the way of delivering and consuming IT services. Due to increasing modularization and standardization, it is possible to deliver high scalable and flexible IT cloud-based services at an advantageous price. Therefore cloud computing supports the process of IT...

This paper investigates the notion of an "expert system," including key characteristics, such as the use of rules and uncertainty representations. The paper also reviews some of the issues associated with the development of expert systems, such as knowledge acquisition, verification and...

Information systems have revolutionized the provisioning of decision-relevant information, and decision support tools have improved human decisions in many domains. Autonomous decision- making, on the other hand, remains hampered by systems’ inability to faithfully capture human preferences....

A computer keyboard consists of several sections and each section consists of several numbers of keys. The text entry section contains the standard character keys, navigation section contains cursor movement and page control keys, numeric keypad contains numeric keys and function keys section...

Today with the growing number of vehicles in the metropolitan cities, there is high demand for a smart parking management system. When people reach their destination, searching for a parking slot to park their vehicle itself creates lots of traffic congestion in the parking lot/roads taking...

The paper is a novel and simple method to determine the channel capacity using software called MATLAB. The neural network called Cerebellar Model Arithmetic Computer (CMAC) is designed, which is applied through a technique called system identification. CMAC consists of hundreds of thousands of...
