Smooth minimization of nonsmooth functions
- Math. Programming
, 2005
"... In this paper we propose a new approach for constructing efficient schemes for nonsmooth convex optimization. It is based on a special smoothing technique, which can be applied to the functions with explicit max-structure. Our approach can be considered as an alternative to black-box minimization. F ..."

Greedy Function Approximation: A Gradient Boosting Machine
- Annals of Statistics
, 2000
"... Function approximation is viewed from the perspective of numerical optimization in function space, rather than parameter space. A connection is made between stagewise additive expansions and steepest{descent minimization. A general gradient{descent \boosting" paradigm is developed for additi ..."

Specic algorithms are presented for least{squares, least{absolute{deviation, and Huber{M loss functions for regression, and multi{class logistic likelihood for classication. Special enhancements are derived for the particular case where the individual

The rate-distortion function for source coding with side information at the decoder
- IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory
, 1976
"... Abstract-Let {(X,, Y,J}r = 1 be a sequence of independent drawings of a pair of dependent random variables X, Y. Let us say that X takes values in the finite set 6. It is desired to encode the sequence {X,} in blocks of length n into a binary stream*of rate R, which can in turn be decoded as a seque ..."

The special assumption made here is that the decoder has access to the side information {Yk}. In this paper we determine

Separation of ownership and control
- JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS
, 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of âownershipâ and âcontrol.â Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."

We contend that separation of decision and risk bearing functions survives in these organizations in part because of the benefits of specialization of management and risk bearing but also
