The Decision to Patent with Vertical Product Differentiation -- An Empirical Investigation of the Decision to Patent with Vertical Product Differentiation -- The Decision to Patent with Horizontal Product Differentiation -- An Empirical Investigation of the Decision to Patent with Horizontal...

We study model selection strategies based on penalized empirical loss minimization. We point out a tight relationship between error estimation and data-based complexity penalization: any good error estimate may be converted into a data-based penalty function and the performance of the estimate...

This thesis presents a methodology to incorporate reservoir uncertainties and estimate the loss in project value when facility planning decisions are based on erroneous estimates of input variables. We propose a tank model along with integrated asset development model to simulate the concept...
