We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the max-plus minimal realization problem. These results are derived from general facts on rational expressions over idempotent commutative semirings: we show more ge...

Hangzhou has launched a new performance evaluation mechanism by selecting satisfying or dissatisfying units with the features of openness and elimination systems. It announces the idea of making the citizens understand, participate and support. It also increases the comparability and impartiality and expands the scope of participation. By classifying the sub-categories, applying coefficient, in...

Most studies of managed fund performance use measures that are susceptible to bias caused by common time variation in risks and risk premia. Ferson and Schadt (1996) propose a conditional performance measure that controls for the common variation. Their results suggest that incorporating lagged public information variables that have been shown to predict stock returns, such as interest rates an...

OBJECTIVES To determine the reliability of two field hockey specific tests: the shuttle sprint and dribble test (ShuttleSDT) and the slalom sprint and dribble test (SlalomSDT). METHODS The shuttle sprint and dribble performances of 22 young male and 12 young female field hockey players were assessed on two occasions within 4 weeks. Twenty one young female field hockey players took part in the...

This study aims to improve the accuracy of AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) pavement performance predictions for Iowa pavement systems through local calibration of MEPDG prediction models. A total of 130 representative pavement sites across Iowa were selected. The selected pavement sites represent flexible, rigid, and composite pavement systems throughout Iowa. The req...

The recent interest in network analysis applications in personality psychology and psychopathology has put forward new methodological challenges. Personality and psychopathology networks are typically based on correlation matrices and therefore include both positive and negative edge signs. However, some applications of network analysis disregard negative edges, such as computing clustering coe...

Efficient simulation models for correlated Nakagami-m fading channels are required for the development, performance evaluation and validation of diversity combining systems in general fading channels. We propose a theoretical explanation of the Nakagami-m distribution, as a natural extension of the Rayleigh fading model. In this model, a Nakagami random variable is viewed as the norm of an mdim...

This paper examines the correlates of optimism bias and its impact on World Bank project performance. We measure in different ways using estimated Economic Rates Return (ERR) projects at approval closure. examine over 2,800 that were appraised between 1960 2019. find approximately 60% sample prone to bias. Correlates include both country characteristics. Findings also indicate incidence reduces...
