In a multi-battle contest, each time a player competes by investing some of her budgets or resources in a component battle to collect a value if winning the battle. There are multiple battles to fight, and the budgets get consumed over time. The final winner in the overall contest is the one who first reaches some amount of total value. Examples include R & D races, sports competition, election...

When equipped with kernel functions, online learning algorithms are susceptible to the “curse of kernelization” that causes unbounded growth in the model size. To address this issue, we present a family of budgeted online learning algorithms for multi-class classification which have constant space and time complexity per update. Our approach is based on the multi-class version of the popular Pe...

the relationship between added value of economic activities and the governments budget along with the impact of this budget on the employment of economic activities are among the issues that economic decision-makers and analysts assume to be crucial. classification of statistical data has not yet allowed experts and decision-makers to evaluate the governments role in production and employment i...

Indifference-zone-selection procedures have been widely studied and applied to determine the required sample sizes for selecting a good design from k alternatives. However, efficiency is still a key concern for application of simulation to ranking and selection problems. In this paper, we present a new approach that can further enhance the efficiency of indifferencezone-selection procedures. Ou...

The Loanable funds theory Hypotheses: Individuals care only about real variables (output gains or losses, purchasing-power gains or losses). The marginal productivity of capital assets (MPK) is given and determined by the technical characteristics of the productive assets. It represents the gain, in terms of output, obtained by increasing the capacity of production by one additional capital ass...
