Is water consumption embedded in crop prices? A global data-driven analysis

Optimizing Water Consumption Using Crop Water Production Functions

American Prices Embedded in European Prices

– In this paper, we are interested in American option prices in the Black–Scholes model. For a large class of payoffs, we show that in the region where the European price increases with the time to maturity, this price is equal to the American price of another claim. We give examples in which we explicit the corresponding claims. The characterization of the American claims obtained in this way ...

Enhancing Learning from Imbalanced Classes via Data Preprocessing: A Data-Driven Application in Metabolomics Data Mining

This paper presents a data mining application in metabolomics. It aims at building an enhanced machine learning classifier that can be used for diagnosing cachexia syndrome and identifying its involved biomarkers. To achieve this goal, a data-driven analysis is carried out using a public dataset consisting of 1H-NMR metabolite profile. This dataset suffers from the problem of imbalanced classes...

A simulation framework for energy-consumption analysis of OS-driven embedded applications

Energy consumption has become a major focus in the design of embedded systems (e.g., mobile computing and wireless communication devices). In particular, a shift of emphasis from hardware-oriented low-energy design techniques to energy-efficient embedded software design has occurred progressively in the past few years. To that end, various techniques have been developed for the design of energy...

Pass-Through Effects of Global Food Prices on Consumer Prices in Iran

T he objective of this study is using the Markov Switching Vector Autoregressive method and regime dependent impulse response functions to measure the pass-through of world food prices to consumer price index in Iran from 1990 to 2013. With respect to information criteria and the log-likelihood ratio statistic, MSIA(2)-VAR(1) model has a better fit to data than other models. The magn...
