To my family Acknowledgements The meaning of life for me is experiencing new things and learning from them. Enrolling in the Ph.D. program has enabled me to gain invaluable experiences along the way. Though only my name appears on the cover of this dissertation, many people have helped me to produce it. I am indebted to all of them: it would not have been possible to reach this point in my life...

The benefits of endowment destruction documented by Ljungqvist and Uhlig (2014), and the related possibility that consumption can lower habits, are fragile. Both issues result from a particular way of discretely approximating the underlying continuous-time model, or of adapting it to jumps. Other ways of calculating the discrete-time approximation or extending the model to jumps easily overturn...

– The LARS-MLE algorithm, an efficient algorithm that returns the unpenalized Maximum Likelihood Estimates (MLEs) for all non-zero subsets of variables encountered along the LARS regularization path. – The Two-Metric Projection algorithm used for L1-regularized Logistic Regression. – The L1PC algorithm, a relaxed form of the L1MB algorithm that allows scaling to much larger graphs. – Extensions...

The Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System® (LARS®) represents a popular synthetic anatomical reduction method for acromioclavicular joint dislocation by means of coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. To our knowledge, no early failure has been documented in the literature. We present two unusual cases of LARS failure, one at four months after implant and the other at three weeks, ...

In order to correct the error that Efron et al pointed out modified Lars is a fast algorithm for lasso problem, computer simulation carried with data. The results show when variable removed first and then entered in variables selected by cannot be same. At this time, no matter how modify size of Lars, problem solved. method used errors paper, contribute development world data computing.

climatological parameters are among the most important ecological capability evaluation criterias, on other hand, climate changes which has intensified in the past decades and has the consequences such as; increases in climatic threshold phenomena like occurrence of horrific floodings, destructive hurricanes, abnormal and sudden colds and heats, untimely rainfalls and heavy snows, widespread dr...

Adequate oncological outcomes have been demonstrated with rectal resection and handsewn coloanal anastomosis (CAA) in tumours in close proximity to the internal anal sphincter. Our aim was to assess functional differences between handsewn CAA and ultralow stapled anastomosis. Participants were identified from a single-surgeon series. Included participants underwent anorectal physiology testing ...
