Little attention has been paid to identifying the characteristics of a data set that provide favorable conditions for the task of incremental learning. In this work, several metrics were used to characterize data sets and identify the characteristics that may influence the trade-off between stability and plasticity. Three metrics are proposed for the evaluation of stability, plasticity and the ...

Okhotin [9] showed an exponential trade-off in the conversion from nondeterministic unary finite automata to unambiguous nondeterministic unary finite automata. In this paper, we consider the trade-off in the case of unary symmetric difference finite automata to finitely ambiguous unary symmetric difference finite automata. Surprisingly, the trade-off is linear in the number of states of the fi...

A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...

This paper offers a critique of manufacturing performance measurement approaches investigated by previous studies particularly in trade-off modelling studies for manufacturing capabilities. We argue that some studies complete validity analyses of the trade-off model using measures of manufacturing performance that are inconsistent with the trade-off theoretical concept. The paper also seeks to ...

This paper tests the internal consistency of time trade-off utilities. We find significant violations of consistency in the direction predicted by loss aversion. The violations disappear for higher gauge durations. We show that loss aversion can also explain that for short gauge durations time trade-off utilities exceed standard gamble utilities. Our results suggest that time trade-off measurem...
