We consider the problem of trying to send a single classical bit through a noisy quantum channel when two transmissions through the channel are available as a resource. Classically, two transmissions add nothing to the receiver’s capability of inferring the bit. In the quantum world, however, one has the possible further advantage of entangling the two transmissions. We demonstrate that, for ce...

Through a cost matrix and a combination of classifiers, this work identifies the most economical model to perform the detection of suspected cases of fraud in a dataset of automobile claims. The experiments performed by this work show that working more deeply in sampled data in the training phase and test phase of each classifier is possible obtain a more economic model than other model present...

This paper attempts to quantify the effects of airline deregulation in the United States on intercity automobile travel and consequently on the number of highway fatalities. A demand model is constructed for auto travel, which includes variables representing the price and availability of air service. A reduced form model of the airline market is then estimated. Finding that deregulation has dec...
