Monetary Policy in Iran: The Challenge of Reducing Inflation

The conduct of monetary policy in an oil economy with a managed floating exchange rate regime can be challenging in an environment of fiscal dominance and incomplete transition to a market economy. The Five-Year Development Plans provide a natural benchmark against which to assess monetary policy performance in Iran. Price stability has proved elusive, with liquidity growth targets constan...

Screening programs must be implemented carefully if they are to be effective and if potentially adverse psychological consequences are to be avoided. Anxiety in patients participating in screening programs can be avoided or reduced by careful attention to patient n...

Reducing Misclassification Costs

We explore algorithms for learning classification procedures that attempt to minimize the cost of misclassifying examples. First, we consider inductive learning of classification rules. The Reduced Cost Ordering algorithm, a new method for creating a decision list (i.e., an ordered set of rules) is described and compared to a variety of inductive learning approaches. Next, we describe approache...
