We study generating functions for the number of even (odd) permutations on n letters avoiding 132 and an arbitrary permutation on k letters, or containing exactly once. In sever...
We present a novel probabilistic latent variable model to perform linear dimensionality reduction on data sets which contain clusters. We prove that the maximum likelihood solution...
This article examines the problem of regulatory opportunism or strategic behavior by the regulator that undermines the performance of price cap regulation (PCR) without technicall...
In the present paper we provide an analytical solution for pricing discrete barrier options in the Black-Scholes framework. We reduce the valuation problem to a Wiener-Hopf equatio...
One major goal for data mining is to understand data. Rule based methods are better than other methods in making mining results comprehensible. However, the current rule based cla...
