Labour market policy and the equity-efficiency trade-off

This paper studies the accuracy/efficiency trade-off in probabilistic diagnosis formulated as finding the most-likely explanation (MPE) in a Bayesian network. Our work is motivated by a practical problem of efficient real-time fault diagnosis in computer networks using test transactions, or probes

Inter-vessel pitting and cavitation in woody Rosaceae and other vesselled plants: a basis for a safety versus efficiency trade-off in xylem transport

There have been two thrusts in the development of optical flow algorithms. One has emphasized higher accuracy; the other faster implementation. These two thrusts, however, have been independently pursued, without addressing the accuracy vs. efficiency trade-offs. Although the accuracy-efficiency

This article investigates the role of private insurance in the prevention and mitigation of natural disasters. We characterize the equity-efficiency tradeoff faced by the policymakers under imperfect information about individual prevention costs. It is shown that a competitive insurance market

Linear regression-based methods have been proposed as efficient means of characterising device leakage in the training phases of profiled side-channel attacks. Empirical comparisons between these and the `classical' approach to template building have confirmed the reduction in pro ling

and discuss the different concept quality measures used in unsupervised systems. An automatic parameter selecting version is built using an existing unsupervised machine learning algorithm and the wrapper method of parameter selection. This system is used to explore an accuracy-efficiency trade off

technology promises significant performance enhancements to cellular systems in terms of spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE). How these two conflicting metrics scale up in large cellular V-MIMO networks is unclear. This paper studies the EE-SE trade-off of the uplink of a multi

two considers why the “trade-off ” arguments of the 1970s are no longer convincing. Three key points are made about how economic thinking had evolved by the 1990s: (1) the importance of the intergenerational transmission of human capital had been recognized; (2) econometric research had concluded

and efficiency vs. error trade-offs exhibited for different discrimination regimes. We finally introduce and analyze in the same framework a simple model which takes into account correlations between consecutive enzyme-assisted assembly steps. This work highlights the relevance of the distinction between
