When it comes to variable interpretation, multicollinearity is among the biggest issues that must be surmounted, especially in this new era of Big Data Analytics. Since even moderate size can prevent proper special diagnostics recommended and implemented for identification purposes. Nonetheless, areas econometrics statistics, other fields, these are controversial concerning their “successfulnes...

In this paper, we consider an infrastructure as a network with supply, transshipment, and demand nodes. A subset of potential arcs can be constructed between node pairs for conveying service flows. The paper studies two optimization models under stochastic arc disruption. Model 1 focuses on a single network with small-scale failures, and repairs arcs for quick service restoration. Model 2 consi...

Abstract This paper translates Ostrom’s “diagnostic approach” for social-ecological systems to identify the collective action problems and core governance barriers sea-level rise adaptation in San Francisco Bay Area. The diagnostic approach considers variables related resource system, units, users, system. Coupled ecological-infrastructure models two problems: vulnerability interdependency inte...
