Random forests

by Leo Breiman, E. Schapire - Machine Learning , 2001
"... Abstract. Random forests are a combination of tree predictors such that each tree depends on the values of a random vector sampled independently and with the same distribution for all trees in the forest. The generalization error for forests converges a.s. to a limit as the number of trees in the fo ..."

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function.

by Earl K Miller , Jonathan D Cohen - Annual Review of Neuroscience, , 2001
"... Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal goals. Its neural basis, however, has remained a mystery. Here, we propose that cognitive control stems from the active ..."

An experimental comparison of three methods for constructing ensembles of decision trees

by Thomas G. Dietterich, Doug Fisher - Bagging, boosting, and randomization. Machine Learning , 2000
"... Abstract. Bagging and boosting are methods that generate a diverse ensemble of classifiers by manipulating the training data given to a “base ” learning algorithm. Breiman has pointed out that they rely for their effectiveness on the instability of the base learning algorithm. An alternative approac ..."

The effect of national culture on the choice of entry mode

by Bruce Kogut, Harbir Singh - Journal of International Business Studies , 1988
"... Abstract. Characteristics of national cultures have frequently been claimed to influence the selection of entry modes. This article investigates this claim by developing a theoretical argument for why culture should influence the choice of entry. Two hypotheses are derived which relate culture to en ..."

Scalable molecular dynamics with NAMD.

by James C Phillips , Rosemary Braun , Wei Wang , James Gumbart , Emad Tajkhorshid , Elizabeth Villa , Christophe Chipot , Robert D Skeel , Laxmikant Kalé , Klaus Schulten - J Comput Chem , 2005
"... Abstract: NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms, as well as tens of processors on low-cost commodity clusters, and also runs on individual desktop and la ..."

Estimating Wealth Effects without Expenditure Data— or Tears

by Deon Filmer, Lant Pritchett - Policy Research Working Paper 1980, The World , 1998
"... Abstract: We use the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data collected in Indian states in 1992 and 1993 to estimate the relationship between household wealth and the probability a child (aged 6 to 14) is enrolled in school. A methodological difficulty to overcome is that the NFHS, modeled closely ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

The Nature and Growth of Vertical Specialization in World Trade

by David Hummels - Journal of International Economics
"... Abstract: Dramatic changes are occurring in the nature of international trade. Production processes increasingly involve a sequential, vertical trading chain stretching across many countries, with each country specializing in particular stages of a good’s production sequence. We document a key aspe ..."

Optimization of Conditional Value-At-Risk.

by R T Rockafellar , S Uryasev - The Journal of Risk, , 2000
"... Abstract In an intensifying international competition banks are forced to place increased emphasis on enterprise wide risk-/return management. Financial risks have to be limited and managed from a bank wide portfolio perspective. Risk management requirements have to be met from an internal as well ..."

Delayed internet routing convergence

by Craig Labovitz, Abha Ahuja, Abhijit Bose, Farnam Jahanian - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review , 2000
"... Abstract—This paper examines the latency in Internet path failure, failover, and repair due to the convergence properties of interdomain routing. Unlike circuit-switched paths which exhibit failover on the order of milliseconds, our experimental mea-surements show that interdomain routers in the pac ..."
