Are investors reluctant to realize their losses

by Terrance Odean - Journal of Finance , 1998
"... I test the disposition effect, the tendency of investors to hold losing investments too long and sell winning investments too soon, by analyzing trading records for 10,000 accounts at a large discount brokerage house. These investors demonstrate a strong preference for realizing winners rather than ..."

losers. Their behavior does not appear to be motivated by a desire to rebalance portfolios, or to avoid the higher trading costs of low priced stocks. Nor is it justified by subsequent portfolio performance. For taxable investments, it is suboptimal and leads to lower after-tax returns. Tax

On the optimality of the simple Bayesian classifier under zero-one loss

by Pedro Domingos, Michael Pazzani - MACHINE LEARNING , 1997
"... The simple Bayesian classifier is known to be optimal when attributes are independent given the class, but the question of whether other sufficient conditions for its optimality exist has so far not been explored. Empirical results showing that it performs surprisingly well in many domains containin ..."

The Performance of TCP/IP for Networks with High Bandwidth-Delay Products and Random Loss.

by Member, IEEE T V Lakshman , Senior Member, IEEE Upamanyu Madhow - IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking, , 1997
"... Abstract-This paper examines the performance of TCP/IP, the Internet data transport protocol, over wide-area networks (WANs) in which data traffic could coexist with real-time traffic such as voice and video. Specifically, we attempt to develop a basic understanding, using analysis and simulation, ..."

A comparison of mechanisms for improving TCP performance over wireless links

by Hari Balakrishnan, Venkata N. Padmanabhan, Srinivasan Seshan, Randy H. Katz - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1997
"... Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by i ..."

Understanding packet delivery performance in dense wireless sensor networks

by Jerry Zhao , 2003
"... Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wireless communication. From a networking perspective, the most basic aspect of wireless communication is the packet delivery ..."

performance:the spatio-temporal characteristics of packet loss, and its environmental dependence. These factors will deeply impact the performance of data acquisition from these networks. In this paper, we report on a systematic medium-scale (up to sixty nodes) measurement of packet delivery in three

Service Disciplines for Guaranteed Performance Service in Packet-Switching Networks

by Hui Zhang - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1995
"... While today’s computer networks support only best-effort service, future packet-switching integrated-services networks will have to support real-time communication services that allow clients to transport information with performance guarantees expressed in terms of delay, delay jitter, throughput, ..."
Abstract - Cited by 609 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
, and loss rate. An important issue in providing guaranteed performance service is the choice of the packet service discipline at switching nodes. In this paper, we survey several service disciplines that are proposed in the literature to provide per-connection end-to-end peqormance guarantees in packet

A study of branch prediction strategies

by E. Smith, Arden Hills Minnesota - In Proceedings of the 8th annual symposium on Computer Architecture
"... In high-performance computer systems. performance losses due to conditional branch instructrons can be minrmized by predicting a branch outcome and fetching, decoding, and/or issuing subsequent instructions before the actual outcome is known. This paper discusses branch prediction strategies wrth th ..."

The Macroscopic Behavior of the TCP Congestion Avoidance Algorithm

by Matthew Mathis, Jeffrey Semke, Jamshid Mahdavi, Teunis Ott , 1997
"... In this paper, we analyze a performance model for the TCP Congestion Avoidance algorithm. The model predicts the bandwidth of a sustained TCP connection subjected to light to moderate packet losses, such as loss caused by network congestion. It assumes that TCP avoids retransmission timeouts and alw ..."

Experiments with a New Boosting Algorithm

by Yoav Freund, Robert E. Schapire , 1996
"... In an earlier paper, we introduced a new “boosting” algorithm called AdaBoost which, theoretically, can be used to significantly reduce the error of any learning algorithm that consistently generates classifiers whose performance is a little better than random guessing. We also introduced the relate ..."
Abstract - Cited by 2213 (20 self) - Add to MetaCart
the related notion of a “pseudo-loss ” which is a method for forcing a learning algorithm of multi-label conceptsto concentrate on the labels that are hardest to discriminate. In this paper, we describe experiments we carried out to assess how well AdaBoost with and without pseudo-loss, performs on real

TCP Vegas: New techniques for congestion detection and avoidance

by Lawrence S. Brakmo, Sean W. O’malley, Larry L. Peterson - In SIGCOMM , 1994
"... Vegas is a new implementation of TCP that achieves between 40 and 70 % better throughput, with one-fifth to onehalf the losses, as compared to the implementation of TCP in the Reno distributionof BSD Unix. This paper motivates and describes the three key techniques employed by Vegas, and presents th ..."
