Abstract We examine the effect of remittances from abroad on households' schooling decisions using data for El Salvador. Following the massive war-related emigration of the 1980s, remittances became a significant source of household income throughout the 1990s. We use the Cox proportional

Abstract We investigate the use of temporally abstract actions, or macro-actions, in the solution of Markov decision processes. Unlike current mod els that combine both primitive actions and macro-actions and leave the state space un changed, we propose a hierarchical model (using an abstract MDP

evaluation: SimOS is playing a large part in the design of Stanford's Flash, a large-scale NUMA multiprocessor. 8 Researchers have used SimOS's detailed CPU modes to examine the per- formance impact of several design decisions. The ability to boot and run realistic workloads such as the Sybase

proposes a graph-based collective EL method, which can model and exploit the global interdependence between different EL decisions. Specifically, we first propose a graph-based representation, called Referent Graph, which can model the global interdependence between different EL decisions. Then we propose

Abstract. The ElGamal encryption scheme has been proposed several years ago and is one of the few probabilistic encryption schemes. However, its security has never been concretely proven based on clearly understood and accepted primitives. Here we show directly that the decision Diffie

this paper, we have described an implementation of multi-relational decision tree learning (MRDTL) algorithm based on the techniques proposed by Knobbe et el. (Knobbe et el., 1999a, Knobbe et el., 1999b)

This study examined the impact of discriminatory experiences on Hispanic students ’ decisions concerning postsecondary enrollment. Logistic regres-sion was used to identify variables associated with Hispanic students ’ deci-sions to attend either a 2- or a 4-year institution within the context
