compute thematic fit for pairs relying only on distributional information (no information about semantic types) compare thematic fit differences across conditions and processing cost differences (high processing cost → low thematic fit, corresponding to 1-thematic fit in the model) verify if the computational model yields the same main effects and pairwise differences reported by t...

cash flow forecasting is an indispensable tool for construction companies, and is essential for the survivalof any contractor at all stages of the work. the time available for a detailed pre-tender cash flow forecast is oftenlimited. therefore, contractors require simpler and quicker techniques which would enable them to forecast cash flowwith reasonable accuracy. forecasting s-curves in constr...

Latent class and the Grade of Membership (GoM) models are two examples of latent structure models. Latent class models are discrete mixture models. The GoM model has been originally developed as an extension of latent class models to a continuous mixture. This note describes a constrained latent class model which is equivalent to the GoM model, and provides a detailed proof of this equivalence....
