Relative income, happiness, and utility : an explanation for the Easterlin paradox and other puzzles

Clark, Andrew; Frijters, Paul; Shields, Michael - 2008

The well-known Easterlin paradox points out that average happiness has remained constant over time despite sharp rises in GNP per head. At the same time, a micro literature has typically found positive correlations between individual income and individual measures of subjective well-being. This...

Utility Guided Pattern Mining

Jagannath, Sandhya - 2004

This work is an initial exploration of the use of the decision-theoretic concept of utility to guide pattern mining. We present the use of utility functions as against thresholds and constraints as the mechanism to express user preferences and formulate several pattern mining problems that use...

Local Geometry of Multiattribute Tradeoff Preferences

McGeachie, Michael - 2007

Existing preference reasoning systems have been successful insimple domains. Broader success requires more natural and moreexpressive preference representations. This thesis develops arepresentation of logical preferences that combines numericaltradeoff ratios between partial outcome...

A hierarchical assessment method using Bayesian network for material risk detection on green supply chain

Yen, BPC; Zeng, B - 2010

Today's social awareness of environmental protection presents the electronic companies with an irreversible trend towards green manufacturing. It raises harsh requirement for the sourcing process and imposes unprecedented pressure to the QA system, majorly due to the risk of hazardous material....

Unified analysis of a class of blind feedforward symbol timing estimators employing second-order statistics

Wu, YC; Serpedin, E - 2006

In this letter, all the previously proposed digital blind feedforward symbol timing estimators employing second-order statistics are casted into a unified framework. The finite sample mean-square error (MSE) expression for this class of estimators is established. Simulation results are also...

Maximum-likelihood period estimation from sparse, noisy timing data

McKilliam, R. G.; Clarkson, I.V.L. - 2008

The problem of estimating the period of a periodic point process is considered when the observations are sparse and noisy. There is a class of estimators that operate by maximizing an objective function over an interval of possible periods, notably the periodogram estimator of Fogel & Gavish and...
