Empirical Estimations of the Taft σ

Bayes and Gibbs Estimations, Empirical Processes, and Resolution of Singularities

Abstract. This paper clarifies the generalization errors of Bayes and Gibbs estimations in non-identifiable statistical models based on algebraic geometry and empirical process theory. First, the concrete results are proven for statistical models with normal crossing singularities. Second, they are generalized for all models by using Hironaka’s desingularization theorem. The Bayes generalizatio...

Scheduling Transient Overload with the TAFT Scheduler

Nearly all known real-time scheduling approaches rely on the knowledge of Worst Case Execution Times (WCETs) for all tasks of the system. This is a severe restriction, as with today’s complex systems it becomes increasingly more expensive to determine WCET by applying analytical methods and the computed results often turn out to be a very pessimistic upper bound for the observed execution time....

College Attendance Rational Choice: Modeling and Empirical Estimations

Previous findings of economic literature pointed out that there is significant correlation of family characteristics and family background with an individual's rational choice of education. However, variable of abilities was omitted. This study develops and estimates the model of rational choice of college attendance with respect to agent's individual and family characteristics as well as abili...

Functional Patterns in the Spaces of Hosseiniehs of Taft

The structure of public spaces, particularly, the religious sites of Iran in the Islamic era follow the teachings and principles of Islam. Hosseinieh buildings are among the most significant of this type of public spaces whose function is related to one of the most significant religious communal rituals, i.e., mourning for the Third Shi‘a Imam. The main purpose of this study is to identify func...
