In this paper we investigate the relationship between the nearest point problem in a polyhedral cone and the nearest point problem in a polyhedral set, and use this relationship to devise an effective method for solving the latter using an existing algorithm for the former. We then show that...

Large-scale data show promise to provide efficiency gains through individualized risk predictions in many business and policy settings. Yet, assessments of the degree of data-enabled efficiency improvements remain scarce. We quantify the value of the availability of a variety of data...

Personendaten aus der Verwaltung (Administrativdaten) haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten als wichtige Basis zur Evaluierung von Politikmaßnahmen erwiesen. Durch maschinelles Lernen können basierend auf diesen Daten auch Vorhersagen getroffen werden, die zur Lösung gesellschaftlicher...

Human antibiotic consumption is considered the main driver of antibiotic resistance. Reducing human antibiotic consumption without compromising health care quality poses one of the most important global health policy challenges. A crucial condition for designing effective policies is to identify...
