Distributed algorithms have been playing an increasingly important role in many applications such as machine learning, signal processing, and control. Significant research efforts have been devoted…
Decision analysis provides a robust framework for complex decisions related to environmental sustainability and conservation, including for energy and water, fisheries and wildlife management, agri…
This paper presents an in-depth study on the effect that composition and properties of recycled coarse aggregates from previous concrete structures, together with water/cement ratio (w/c) and a rep…
We examine whether firms with low accounting quality are more likely to use trade credit as a source of financing. Because of their advantages in overcoming information frictions, suppliers are mor…
Volatility, represented in the form of conditional heteroscedasticity, plays an important role in controlling and forecasting risks in various financial operations including asset pricing, portfoli…
We present a family of smooth tests for the goodness of fit of semiparametric multivariate copula models. The proposed tests are distribution free and can be easily implemented. They are diagnostic…
When large amounts of survival data arrive in streams, conventional estimation methods become computationally infeasible since they require access to all observations at each accumulation point. We…
