Hierarchical Estimation as Basis for Hierarchical Forecasting

Strijbosch, L.W.G; Heuts, Ruud M.J; Moors, J.J.A - 2006

In inventory management, hierarchical forecasting (HF) is a hot issue: families of items are formed for which total demand is forecasted; total forecast then is broken up to produce forecasts for the individual items. Since HF is a complicated procedure, analytical results are hard to obtain;...

On Hierarchies and Communication

van den Brink, René - 2006

Many economic organizations have some relational structure, meaning that economic agents do not only differ with respect to certain individual characteristics such as wealth and preferences, but also belong to some relational structure in which they usually take different positions. Two examples...

Combinatorial and approximative analyses in a spatially random division process

Hayashi, Yukio; Komaki, Takayuki; Ide, Yusuke; Machida, … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 9, pp. 2212-2225

For a spatial characteristic, there exist commonly fat-tail frequency distributions of fragment-size and -mass of glass, areas enclosed by city roads, and pore size/volume in random packings. In order to give a new analytical approach for the distributions, we consider a simple model which...

Scale invariance in complex seismic system and its uses in gaining precursory information before large earthquakes: Importance of methodology

Li, Qiang; Xu, Gui-Ming - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 4, pp. 929-940

Research on precursory information about the scale invariance of seismicity before large earthquakes has been an interesting topic for geophysicists in recent years. However, in some cases, it is difficult to capture this precursory information. Our study results show that seeking a pertinent...

When Do Markets Tip? A Cognitive Hierarchy Approach

Hossain, Tanjim - 2013

The market structure of platform competition is critically important to managers and policy makers. Network effects in these markets predict concentrated industry structures, whereas competitive effects and differentiation suggest the opposite. Standard theory offers little guidance — full...
