1 Incremental and reeexive information Elwood lies on a hospital bed, a thermometer|we'll call it t|in his mouth. Bad news about Elwood: (1) The fact that the mercury in t is above 98.6 carries the information that Elwood has a fever. The fact referred to we call the signal or indicating fact. The thermometer is the carrier of the signal, the property of containing mercury that has risen past 9...

To Find user’s frequent interest navigation patterns, we combine the information of web content and web server log, mine the web data to build a hidden markov model. In our approach, we build a hidden markov model according to page’s content and web service log firstly, and then we present a new incremental discovery algorithm Hmm_R to discover the interest navigation patterns. ...

This study tests assertions that Economic Value Added (EVAt) is more highly associated with stock returns and firm values than accrual earnings, and evaluates which components of EVA, if any, contribute to these associations. Relative information content tests reveal earnings to be more highly associated with returns and firm values than EVA, residual income, or cash flow from operations. Incre...

This paper provides a detailed theoretical analysis of methods to approximate the solutions of high-dimensional (> 10) linear Bayesian problems. An optimal low-rank projection that maximizes the information content of the Bayesian inversion is proposed and efficiently constructed using a scalable randomized SVD algorithm. Useful optimality results are established for the associated posterior er...
