In this study, the prevalent methodology for design of the industrial policy in developing countries was critically assessed, and it was shown that the mechanism and content of classical method is fundamentally contradictory to the goals…
The purpose of this paper is to estimate a representative and detailed map of the harvest value in wine using structured and unstructured open data sources. With climate change and new environmental and ecological policies, wine producers…
A computer code can simulate a system's propagation of variation from random inputs to output measures of quality. Our aim here is to estimate a critical output tail probability or quantile without a large Monte Carlo experiment. Instead,…
Past research relates design creativity to 'divergent thinking,' i.e., how well the concept space is explored during the early phase of design. Researchers have argued that generating several concepts would increase the chances of producing…
Motivated by the problem of filtering candidate pairs in inner product similarity joins we study the following inner product estimation problem: Given parameters $d\in {\bf N}$, $\alpha>\beta\geq 0$ and unit vectors $x,y\in {\bf R}^{d}$…
This paper introduces a computational framework to identify nonlinear input-output operators that fit a set of system trajectories while satisfying incremental integral quadratic constraints. The data fitting algorithm is thus regularized…
This work considers the problem of calculating an interval-valued state estimate for a nonlinear system subject to bounded inputs and measurement errors. Such state estimators are often called interval observers. Interval observers can be…
This paper concerns with mesh restrictions that are needed to satisfy several important mathematical properties -- maximum principles, comparison principles, and the non-negative constraint -- for a general linear second-order elliptic…
In a previous paper, we studied a kernel estimate of the upper edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, based upon the extreme values of a Poisson point process. The initial paper "Geffroy J. (1964) Sur un probl\`eme d'estimation…
This paper analyzes the computational complexity of validated interval methods for uncertain nonlinear systems and steady-state enclosure. Interval analysis produces guaranteed enclosures that account for uncertainty and round-off, but its…
Firms are more likely to introduce products in markets where they anticipate stronger demand. They also possess information that is unobserved to researchers. This creates endogenous selection bias in the estimation of demand parameters.…
Analyzing privacy threats in software products is an essential part of software development to ensure systems are privacy-respecting; yet it is still a far from trivial activity. While there have been many advancements in the past decade,…
The long-run convergence of developing economies toward advanced countries exhibits robust empirical regularities, yet the mechanisms underlying technological diffusion remain insufficiently specified in standard growth models. In this…
The process of innovation follows non-linear patterns across the domains of science, technology, and the economy. Novel bibliometric mapping techniques can be used to investigate and represent distinctive, but complementary perspectives on…

Data transformation, e.g. feature transformation and selection, is an integral part of any machine learning procedure. In this paper we introduce an information-theoretic model and tools to assess the quality of data transformations in…
Data integration is often performed to consolidate information from multiple disparate data sources during visual data analysis. However, integration operations are usually separate from visual analytics operations such as encode and filter…
Network architecture design is very important for the optimization of industrial networks. The type of network architecture can be divided into small-scale network and large-scale network according to its scale. Graph theory is an efficient…
We propose a divide-and-conquer approach to filtering which decomposes the state variable into low-dimensional components to which standard particle filtering tools can be successfully applied and recursively merges them to recover the full…
Dependent nonparametric processes extend distributions over measures, such as the Dirichlet process and the beta process, to give distributions over collections of measures, typically indexed by values in some covariate space. Such models…
