Two approaches have been used for designing spatial surveys to detect a target. The classical approach controls the probability of missing a target that exists; a Bayesian approach controls the probability that a target exists given that none was seen. In both cases, information about the likely...

Consider the model where particles are initially distributed on Zd,d≥2, according to a Poisson point process of intensity λ0, and are moving in continuous time as independent simple symmetric random walks. We study the escape versus detection problem, in which the target, initially placed at...

There are over 3 billion searches globally on Google every day. This report examines whether Google search queries can be used to predict the present and the near future unemployment rate in Finland. Predicting the present and the near future is of interest, as the official records of the state...

Research suggests the future of the Internet will be defined by ubiquitous computing: a networked environment in which smart objects, called 'Things,' are imbued with identification data and micro-processing power to form an Internet of Things (IoT). Data production across the Internet continues...

There is an increasing availability of unstructured textual data in the depositories of big databases that are constantly produced and updated. Such unstructured data, such as status updates on social media, play the role of narrative bits - narbs - in creating specific stories about an...

Avec le développement des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC) au sein des diverses sphères de la société, nous sommes actuellement conduit à produire une grande quantité de données numériques (i.e. : les big data) durant nos activités quotidiennes. Ces big data...

This study presents a unique approach in investigating the knowledge diffusion structure for the field of data quality through an analysis of the main paths. We study a dataset of 1880 papers to explore the knowledge diffusion path, using citation data to build the citation network. The main...

<Para ID="Par2">Data-centric approaches such as big data and related approaches from business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) have recently attracted major attention due to their promises of huge improvements in organizational performance based on new business insights and improved decision making....</para>
