In after-sales product support, both literature and practice have highlighted the advantages of paying for performance under performance-based contracts (PBC) over the more traditional transaction-…
This article is concerned with evaluating the association between two event times without specifying the joint distribution parametrically. This is particularly challenging when the observations on…
Optimal LED size is an important topic for high-speed UV-C wireless communication but still lacks sufficient investigation. In this work, we study the size effect of UV-C LEDs based on the entire c…
A switchable dual-band binary and single-band quaternary phase-coded microwave signal generator based on a single dual-polarization dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (DP-DDMZM) is proposed. Two r…
This paper revisits the temporal difference (TD) learning algorithm for the policy evaluation tasks in reinforcement learning. Typically, the performance of TD(0) and TD( λ ) is very sensitive to …
Fiber optofluidic lasers (FOFLs) have attracted considerable research attention in the field of biochemical sensing due to their merits such as high sensitivity, low sample consumption, and real-ti…
We develop a Bayesian variable selection method, called SVEN, based on a hierarchical Gaussian linear model with priors placed on the regression coefficients as well as on the model space. Sparsity…
Knowing the error distribution is important in many multivariate time series applications. To alleviate the risk of error distribution mis-specification, testing methodologies are needed to detect …
Polarization and mode division multiplexing are powerful tools for large-capacity parallel optical communications. Dual-polarization and mode-division multiplexed silicon photonic integrated circui…
Firms often register trademarks as they launch new products or services. We find that the number of new trademark registrations positively predicts firm profitability, stock returns, and underreact…
