Average-Rate Contingent Claims
, 1998
"... This article studies the valuation of average-rate contingent claims (both arithmetic and geometric), whose importance in corporate risk management is increasing rapidly. Arbitrage-free characterizations are provided for such option--like Asian claims. When the spot price is governed by a one-dimens ..."

Average rate speed scaling
- In Latin American Theoretical Informatics Symposium, 2008. Nikhil Bansal, Ho-Leung Chan, Kirk Pruhs, and Dmitriy Rogozhnikov-Katz. Improved
, 2007
"... Speed scaling is a power management technique that involves dynamically changing the speed of a processor. This gives rise to dual-objective scheduling problems, where the operating system both wants to conserve energy and optimize some Quality of Service (QoS) measure of the resulting schedule. Yao ..."

. Yao, Demers, and Shenker [4] considered the problem where the QoS constraint is deadline feasibility and the objective is to minimize the energy used. They proposed an online speed scaling algorithm Average Rate (AVR) that runs each job at a constant speed between its release and its deadline
The Average Rate of Change 1 Running head: THE AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE Delineating the Average Rate of Change in Longitudinal Models
"... The average rate of change is a concept that has been misunderstood in the literature. The present article attempts to clarify the concept and show unequivocally the mathematical definition and meaning of the average rate of change in longitudinal models. The slope from the straight-line change mode ..."

The rate-distortion function for source coding with side information at the decoder
- IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory
, 1976
"... Abstract-Let {(X,, Y,J}r = 1 be a sequence of independent drawings of a pair of dependent random variables X, Y. Let us say that X takes values in the finite set 6. It is desired to encode the sequence {X,} in blocks of length n into a binary stream*of rate R, which can in turn be decoded as a seque ..."

the quantity R*(d). defined as the infimum of rates R such that (with E> 0 arbitrarily small and with suitably large n) communication is possible in the above setting at an average distortion level (as defined above) not exceeding d + E. The main result is that R*(d) = inf[Z(X,Z)- Z(Y,Z)], where
Inflation and Growth
, 1996
"... In recent years, many central banks have placed increased emphasis on price stability. Monetary policyâwhether expressed in terms of interest rates or growth of monetary aggregatesâhas been increasingly geared toward the achievement of low and stable inflation. Central bankers and most other obs ..."

observers view price stability as a worthy objective because they think that inflation is costly. Some of these costs involve the average rate of inflation, and others relate to the variability and uncertainty of inflation. But the general idea is that businesses and households are thought to perform poorly
A scheduling model for reduced CPU energy
- ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
, 1995
"... The energy usage of computer systems is becoming an important consideration, especially for batteryoperated systems. Various methods for reducing energy consumption have been investigated, both at the circuit level and at the operating systems level. In this paper, we propose a simple model of job s ..."

an off-line algorithm that computes, for any set of jobs, a minimum-energy schedule. We then consider some on-line algorithms and their competitive performance for the power function P(s) = sp where p 3 2. It is shown that one natural heuristic, called the Average Rate heuristic, uses at most a constant
An extended set of Haar-like features for rapid objection detection
- IEEE ICIP
"... Recently Viola et al. [5] have introduced a rapid object detection scheme based on a boosted cascade of simple feature classifiers. In this paper we introduce a novel set of rotated haar-like features. These novel features significantly enrich the simple features of [5] and can also be calculated ef ..."

Virtual clock: A new traffic control algorithm for packet switching networks
- In Proc. ACM SIGCOMM
, 1990
"... A challenging research issue in high speed networking is how to control the transmission rate of statistical data P OWS. This paper describes a new algorithm, Virtual-Clock, for data trafic control in high-speed networks. VirtualClock maintains the statistical multiplexing flexibility of packet swit ..."
