On the Private Provision of Public Goods

by Theodore Bergstrom, Lawrence Blume, Hal Varian - Journal of Public Economics , 1986
"... We consider a general model of the non-cooperative provision of a public good. Under very weak assumptions there will always exist a unique Nash equilibrium in our model. A small redistribution of wealth among the contributing consumers will not change the equilibrium amount of the public good. Howe ..."

Quantization Index Modulation: A Class of Provably Good Methods for Digital Watermarking and Information Embedding

by Brian Chen, Gregory W. Wornell - IEEE TRANS. ON INFORMATION THEORY , 1999
"... We consider the problem of embedding one signal (e.g., a digital watermark), within another "host" signal to form a third, "composite" signal. The embedding is designed to achieve efficient tradeoffs among the three conflicting goals of maximizing information-embedding rate, mini ..."

refer to as dither modulation. Using deterministic models to evaluate digital watermarking methods, we show that QIM is "provably good" against arbitrary bounded and fully informed attacks, which arise in several copyright applications, and in particular, it achieves provably better rate

Modeling Internet Topology

by Kenneth Calvert, Matthew B. Doar, Ellen W. Zegura - IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE , 1997
"... The topology of a network, or a group of networks such as the Internet, has a strong bearing on many management and performance issues. Good models of the topological structure of a network are essential for developing and analyzing internetworking technology. This article discusses how graph-based ..."

What good are positive emotions

by Barbara L. Fredrickson - Review of General Psychology , 1998
"... This article opens by noting that positive emotions do not fit existing models of emotions. Consequently, a new model is advanced to describe the form and function of a subset of positive emotions, including joy, interest, contentment, and love. This new model posits that these positive emotions ser ..."

An introduction to disk drive modeling

by Chris Ruemmler, John Wilkes - IEEE Computer , 1994
"... Much research in I/O systems is based on disk drive simulation models, but how good are they? An accurate simulation model should emphasize the performancecritical areas. ..."

A Model of Investor Sentiment

by Nicholas Barberis, Andrei Shleifer, Robert Vishny - Journal of Financial Economics , 1998
"... Recent empirical research in finance has uncovered two families of pervasive regularities: underreaction of stock prices to news such as earnings announcements, and overreaction of stock prices to a series of good or bad news. In this paper, we present a parsimonious model of investor sentiment, or ..."

Model Checking Programs

by Willem Visser, Klaus Havelund, GUILLAUME BRAT, SEUNGJOON PARK, FLAVIO LERDA , 2003
"... The majority of work carried out in the formal methods community throughout the last three decades has (for good reasons) been devoted to special languages designed to make it easier to experiment with mechanized formal methods such as theorem provers, proof checkers and model checkers. In this pape ..."

The scanning model for translation: An update

by Marilyn Kozak - J Cell Biol , 1989
"... Abstract. The small (40S) subunit of eukaryotic ribo-somes is believed to bind initially at the capped 5'-end of messenger RNA and then migrate, stopping at the first AUG codon in a favorable context for initiating translation. The first-AUG rule is not absolute, but T HE scanning mechanism for ..."

insights about scanning and other aspects of initiation, and the power of the yeast system promises additional breakthroughs in the coming years. Thus, it seems a good time to review what

Hidden Markov models in computational biology: applications to protein modeling

by Anders Krogh, Michael Brown, I. Saira Mian, Kimmen Sjölander, David Haussler - JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY , 1994
"... Hidden.Markov Models (HMMs) are applied t.0 the problems of statistical modeling, database searching and multiple sequence alignment of protein families and protein domains. These methods are demonstrated the on globin family, the protein kinase catalytic domain, and the EF-hand calcium binding moti ..."

Specification Analysis of Affine Term Structure Models

by Qiang Dai, Kenneth J. Singleton - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2000
"... This paper explores the structural differences and relative goodness-of-fits of affine term structure models (ATSMs55). Within the family of ATSMs there is a tradeoff between flexibility in modeling the conditional correlations and volatilities of the risk factors. This trade-off is formalized by ou ..."
