With the increase in the size of real-world databases, there is an ever-increasing need to scale up inductive learning algorithms. Incremental learning techniques are one possible solution to the scalability problem. In this paper, we propose three criteria to evaluate the robustness and reliability of incremental learning methods, and use them to study the robustness of an incremental training method for Support Vector Machines. We provide empirical results using benchmark machine learning datasets to show that support vectors form a succinct and sucient set for block-by-block incremental learning. 1 Introduction When developing classiers using learning methods, more training data can reduce risk, but the learning process can get computationally intractable. This issue is becoming more evident with large amounts of data available [5]. Researchers in machine learning and data mining [2, 3, 7] have therefore been trying to scale up classical inductive learning algorithms to handle ex...

This study examines the relation between excess auditor remuneration and the implied required rate of return (IRR hereafter) on equity capital in global markets. We conjecture that when auditor remuneration is excessively large, investors may perceive the auditor to be economically bonded to the client, leading to a lack of independence. This perceived lack of independence increases the information risk associated with the credibility of financial statements, thereby increasing IRR. Consistent with this notion, we find that IRR is increasing in excess auditor *Rotman School of Management
