In economic decision-making, the binary factor model is widely employed to characterize decision processes and capture individuals' exposures to various factors. This paper reveals that when the binary response is factorized, additional factors emerge, including an augmented time-invariant item...

To overcome the curse of dimensionality, dimension reduction is important andnecessary for understanding the underlying phenomena in a variety of fields.Dimension reduction is the transformation of high-dimensional data into ameaningful representation in the low-dimensional space. It can be...

Multiple copper-based commodity Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interconnects (adapters) on a single host can lead to Linux clusters with mesh/torus connections without using expensive switches and high speed network interconnects (NICs). However traditional message passing systems based on TCP for GigE...
