We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
Population codes often rely on the tuning of the mean responses to the stimulus parameters. However, this information can be greatly suppressed by long range correlations. Here we...
We present the results of a three year field study of the software development process choices made by project teams at two leading offshore vendors. In particular, we focus on th...
We analyze a model of irreversible investment with two sources of uncertainty. A riskneutral decision maker has the choice between two mutually exclusive projects under input pric...
Ensuring building-block (BB) mixing is critical to the success of genetic and evolutionary algorithms. This study develops facetwise models to predict the BB mixing time and the po...
