"... In PAGE 32: ... In other words, the high rank of their underwriter should reduce the uncer- tainty about their type and render the termination and broader access rights more dispensable. In Columns 1 and 2 of Table7 , we find that the effects are instead larger and significant only among research firms with the highly ranked underwriters. The result is robust to the inclu- sion of year and firm fixed effects (Columns 3 and 4), though the significance of the coefficient estimate of interest in the high-rank sample diminishes.... ..."

If the lexical lookup transcriptions are separated from the generated ones the error rates shown in Table39 are obtained. Table 39.... ..."

This suggests that we should increase q and or t so that the linear system can be solved to high accuracy. The results in Table2 and 3 suggest that the Fair function is performing better than other functions on inexact Newton method. The results in Table 4 and 5 show that on average the Fair function is doing better than other functions on IRLS method.... In PAGE 18: ... The Logistic function is doing almost as good as the Fair function on IRLS method. Comparing the results in Table2 and 3 with the results in Table 4 and 5 we see that Newton method converges faster than IRLS method, and the low-rank downdates do not lead to a signi cant decrease in the inexact Newton (IRLS) iterations carried out (outer). Thus... ..."

Similar results are displayed in Table3 using the formulation described in Proposition 2 that is with W = V quot;. In this latter case, the cost for the eigencomputation to setup the update is halved because only right eigenvectors need to be computed.... ..."

This is illustrated in Table6 where we show the number of CG iterations as we vary the dimension of the positive semi-de nite update. To show that the improvement of the update is not too closely related to the quality of the initial preconditioner we show, for BCSSTK27 and S1RMQ4M1, the number of iterations for two di erent thresholds for IC.... ..."
