Econometric analysis of rational expectations models has been a widely studied topic in the macro-econometric literature. This thesis looks in particular at evaluating Neokeynesian model (NKM) with respect to its conformity with the data. Among the available econometric techniques, this thesis investigates what cointegrated VAR can illuminate about how close the NKM gets to the data. This proje...

Data analysts would benefit greatly from the ability to navigate and view combined multidimensional data from multiple sources, a key requirement of which is the conformity between their dimensions. The strict requirements of conformity restrict navigating to related multidimensional data from unseen or unfamiliar sources. In this paper we make a distinction between conformed dimension tables a...

Do children always conform to a majority’s testimony, or do the pragmatics of that testimony matter? We investigate children’s reasoning about mapping a novel word to a referent in an object-labeling task. Across four conditions, we modified the testimony in an object-labeling task, to account for pragmatic principles, so that the majority does and does not provide an explicit opinion about the...

Massive digitization programs need massive visualization techniques for quality control. We describe the functional prototype of a 3D interactive environment enabling a rapid inspection of pages conformity for large batches of digitalized book.
