The intentional use of analytical modeling for refugee resettlement is an emerging area of research. One primary stream uses machine learning to estimate future refugee employment likelihoods based on past refugee placement and outcomes data, that are then integrated as match quality scores...

This paper presents the ability of the existing Chinese energy system to integrate wind power and explores how the Chinese energy system needs to prepare itself in order to integrate more fluctuating renewable energy in the future. With this purpose in mind, a model of the Chinese energy system...

We prove a strong law of large numbers for functionals of nonhomogeneous Markov chains. The approach is analytic and different from the usual one.

An intensified hydrologic cycle and a large amount of monitoring flow data in the latter half of the 20th century attracted a lot of research on the continental U.S. hydrologic change. However, most previous studies are based on HCDN (Hydro-Climate Data Network) dataset with a period of ~1950s...

By introducing the sample relative entropy rate as a measure of the deviation between the arbitrary random fields and the Markov chain fields on Cayley trees, a class of small deviation theorems for the frequencies of state ordered couples is established. In the proof a new analytic technique in...
