REVIEW The management of poor performance

by John F Mayberry , 2005
"... Identification of poor performance is in an integral part of government policy. The suggested approach for the identification of such problems, advocated by the General Medical Council, is that of appraisal. However, traditionally, there has been a reluctance to deal with poor performers, as all doc ..."

Trading is hazardous to your wealth: The common stock investment performance of individual investors

by Brad M. Barber, Terrance Odean - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2000
"... Individual investors who hold common stocks directly pay a tremendous performance penalty for active trading. Of 66,465 households with accounts at a large discount broker during 1991 to 1996, those that trade most earn an annual return of 11.4 percent, while the market returns 17.9 percent. The ave ..."

. The average household earns an annual return of 16.4 percent, tilts its common stock investment toward high-beta, small, value stocks, and turns over 75 percent of its portfolio annually. Overconfidence can explain high trading levels and the resulting poor performance of individual investors. Our central

Text Classification from Labeled and Unlabeled Documents using EM

by Kamal Nigam, Andrew Kachites Mccallum, Sebastian Thrun, Tom Mitchell - MACHINE LEARNING , 1999
"... This paper shows that the accuracy of learned text classifiers can be improved by augmenting a small number of labeled training documents with a large pool of unlabeled documents. This is important because in many text classification problems obtaining training labels is expensive, while large qua ..."

I-TCP: Indirect TCP for mobile hosts

by Ajay Bakre, B. R. Badrinath , 1995
"... Abstract — IP-based solutions to accommodate mobile hosts within existing internetworks do not address the distinctive features of wireless mobile computing. IP-based transport protocols thus suffer from poor performance when a mobile host communicates with a host on the fixed network. This is cause ..."

Empirical exchange rate models of the Seventies: do they fit out of sample?

by Richard A. Meese, Kenneth Rogoff - JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This study compares the out-of-sample forecasting accuracy of various structural and time series exchange rate models. We find that a random walk model performs as well as any estimated model at one to twelve month horizons for the dollar/pound, dollar/mark, dollar/yen and trade-weighted dollar exch ..."

exchange rates. The candidate structural models include the flexible-price (Frenkel-Bilson) and sticky-price (Dornbusch-Frankel) monetary models, and a sticky-price model which incorporates the current account (Hooper-Morton). The structural models perform poorly despite the fact that we base

Routing in a Delay Tolerant Network

by Sushant Jain, Kevin Fall, Rabin Patra , 2004
"... We formulate the delay-tolerant networking routing problem, where messages are to be moved end-to-end across a connectivity graph that is time-varying but whose dynamics may be known in advance. The problem has the added constraints of finite buffers at each node and the general property that no con ..."

algorithms and use simulations to compare their performance with respect to the amount of knowledge they require about network topology. We find that, as expected, the algorithms using the least knowledge tend to perform poorly. We also find that with limited additional knowledge, far less than complete

Active Messages: a Mechanism for Integrated Communication and Computation

by Thorsten Von Eicken, David E. Culler, Seth Copen Goldstein, Klaus Erik Schauser , 1992
"... The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing multiprocessors have unnecessarily high com ..."

communication costs. Research prototypes of message driven machines demonstrate low communication overhead, but poor processor cost/performance. We introduce a simple communication mechanism, Active Messages, show that it is intrinsic to both architectures, allows cost effective use of the hardware, and offers
