We propose using profile compatibility to differentiate genuine and fake product reviews. For each product, a collective profile is derived from a separate collection of reviews. Such a profile contains a number of aspects of the product, together with their descriptions. For a given unseen review about the same product, we build a test profile using the same approach. We then perform a bidirec...

scientific theories or hypotheses. Since the range of alternatives is not known in these cases, it seems implausible to construct a collective and relatedly the measure remains undetermined. If one requires probabilities to be predictive, the range of hypotheses to which probabilities should be ascribed is thus rather restricted. 44 We are therefore in the position to assess the plausibility of...

The matrix elements of the quadrupole collective variables, emerging from collective nuclear models, are calculated in the natural Cartan-Weyl basis of O(5) which is a subgroup of a covering SU (1, 1) × O(5) structure. Making use of an intermediate set method, explicit expressions of the matrix elements are obtained in a pure algebraic way, fixing the γ-rotational structure of collective quadru...

It is sometimes mutually beneficial for businesses to join together through a cooperative or other organisational structure in order to pool their ability to buy or sell goods and services.1 Collective bargaining is a particular form of cooperation between businesses that is limited to either buying or selling particular products.2 According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission...

We propose an attribution of collective causal responsibility in a stochastic nonlinear system to individual actors. To this end, we take existing measure from Vallentyne (2008) and Baumgartner (2020), adopt Shapley's (1953) fundamental concept how divide effect into marginal contributions. Our generic setting is with potential regime shift, where actions affect the regime-shift probability. Th...

In our data-­‐rich world, key medical decisions, ranging from a regulator's decision to curtail a drug to patient-­‐specific treatment choices require optimal consideration of myriad inputs. Statistical/epidemiological methods that can harness real-­‐world medical data in useful ways do exis...

The intention of this paper is to show a reflexive study about knowledge representation through maps in virtual learning environments (VLE). The aim of this research is to investigate how maps can be used to build information networks, contribute to the collective building of knowledge, and facilitate research and pedagogical mediation in VLEs. For this purpose, the specialization post-graduati...
