- Closed-Loop Adaptive Decision Support Based On Automated Trust Assessment
- This paper argues that it is important to study issues concerning trust and reliance when developing systems that are intended to augment cognition. Operators often under-rely on the help of a support system that provides advice or that performs certain cognitive tasks autonomously. The decision to rely on support seems...

- The Sensitivity Of Productivity Estimates: Revisiting Three Important Debates
- Researchers interested in estimating productivity can choose from an array of methodologies, each with its strengths and weaknesses. This paper compares productivity estimates and evaluates the extent to which the conclusions from three important productivity debates in the economic development literature are sensitive to the choice of estimation method. Five...

- Foreign Investment And Growth: Central And Eastern Europe In Transition
- An empirical neoclassical growth model of the transition in Central and Eastern Europe reveals that foreign investment has incrementally contributed to economic growth. The model departs from the theoretical and applied growth literature with a partial adjustment model of foreign investment, estimating its phase equation with pooled data. Estimation reveals...

- Reservation Price Estimation By Adaptive Conjoint Analysis
- Though reservation prices are needed for many business decision processes, e.g., pricing new products, it often turns out to be difficult to measure them. Many researchers reuse conjoint analysis data with price as an attribute for this task. In this setting the information if a consumer buys a product at...

- Latency Estimation
- Latency estimation promises to improve system performance in safety critical systems that integrate periodic and a periodic (i.e. event-triggered) traffic in several important ways. For the first time under a broad range of practical system design conditions, it can provide designers a reasonable method for analyzing how long it takes...

- A Likelihood Approach to Estimating Market Equilibrium Models
- This paper develops a new likelihood-based method for the simultaneous estimation of structural demand-and-supply models for markets with differentiated products. This paper specifies an individual-level discrete choice model of demand and derives the supply side assuming manufacturers compete in prices. The proposed estimation method considers price endogeneity through simultaneous estimation...

- Drug Screening by Nonparametric Posterior Estimation
- This white paper deals with the drug screening as emerging approach in modern pharmaceutical research. The paper attempts to improve the extent to which the kernel density estimation that can work well in high-dimensional discrimation settings. It also presents a synthesis of techniques which yields favorable performance in comparison to...

- Robust Nonparametric Estimation Of Efficiency And Technical Change In U.S. Commercial Banking
- This paper examines the performance of the U.S. commercial banking industry over 1984 C2002. Rather than measuring performance relative to the unknown (and difficult-to-estimate) boundary of the production set, performance for a given bank is measured relative to expected maximum output among m banks using no more of each input...

- Application of the Parametric Cost Estimation in the Textile Supply Chain
- This paper compares various cost estimation methods in the textile context : their advantages, drawbacks, and applicability in the product life cycle. The parametric cost estimation model is particularly suited to the earliest stage of design-to-cost approach. It is widely used in different industrial domains such as aerospace, aircraft, telecommunication,...

- R&D And Productivity: A Reexamination In Light Of The Innovation Surveys
- This paper estimates a structural model linking R&D (Research & Development), innovation output and productivity along the lines of the Crepon, Duguet and Mairesse (1998) model. It reexamines the R&D-productivity relationship at the light of the information provided by the innovation surveys. It proposes an integrated accounting framework for innovation...

- Measurement and Estimation of Credit Migration Matrices
- Credit migration matrices are cardinal inputs to many risk management applications. Their accurate estimation is therefore critical. One explores three approaches, cohort and two variants of duration - time homogeneous and non-homogeneous - and the resulting differences, both statistically through matrix norms and economically through credit portfolio and credit derivative...

- Regulation And Measuring Cost Efficiency With Panel Data Models
- This paper examines the application of different parametric methods to measure cost efficiency of electricity distribution utilities. The cost frontier model is estimated using four methods: Displaced Ordinary Least Squares, Fixed Effects, Random Effects and Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Different specifications are compared with regards to the estimation of cost frontier...
