Similarity of personal preferences: Theoretical foundations and empirical analysis
We study the problem of defining similarity measures on preferences from a decisiontheoretic point of view. We propose a similarity measure, called probabilistic distance, that originates from the Kendall’s tau function, a well-known concept in the statistical literature. We compare this measure to other existing similarity measures on preferences. The key advantage of this measure is its exten...
متن کامل[Theoretical and empirical foundations of transpersonal psychology].
In this lecture, the new insights and strategies that transpersonal psychology offers will be discussed in relation to the global crisis. Western academic psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy are ethnocentric; they tend to see their point of view as being superior to the perspectives of all the other cultural groups. They are also pragmacentric in that they take into considerations only ex...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Principle: Theoretical and Empirical Foundations
The idea of the (“perfect”) cosmological principle (CP), viz. that the Universe presents the same aspect from any place at any time, is traced to the ancient Greek philosophers, who also suggested how such a cosmic order might work. The antithesis of this view, i.e. the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic world-picture, was to become the hallmark of the Dark Ages. The Copernican revolution constitutes the f...
متن کاملElastic network models: theoretical and empirical foundations.
Fifteen years ago, Monique Tirion showed that the low-frequency normal modes of a protein are not significantly altered when nonbonded interactions are replaced by Hookean springs, for all atom pairs whose distance is smaller than a given cutoff value. Since then, it has been shown that coarse-grained versions of Tirion's model are able to provide fair insights on many dynamical properties of b...
متن کاملTheoretical and Empirical Analysis of Economic Resilience Index
Resilience is defined in different ways by different disciplines and different authors but in general resilience may be defined as the ability of a system and its component parts to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner. Resilience is applicable at the micro as macro level, and for this reason, is sometimes defined as ...
