National debt in a neoclassical growth model.'

by Peter A Diamond - American Economic Review,
"... This paper contains a model designed to serve two purposes, to examine long-run competitive equilibrium in a growth model and then to explore the effects on this equilibrium of government debt. Samuelson [8] has examined the determination of interest rates in a singlecommodity world without durable ..."

The Infinite Hidden Markov Model

by Matthew J. Beal, Zoubin Ghahramani, Carl E. Rasmussen - Machine Learning , 2002
"... We show that it is possible to extend hidden Markov models to have a countably infinite number of hidden states. By using the theory of Dirichlet processes we can implicitly integrate out the infinitely many transition parameters, leaving only three hyperparameters which can be learned from data. Th ..."

Learning probabilistic relational models

by Nir Friedman, Lise Getoor, Daphne Koller, Avi Pfeffer - In IJCAI , 1999
"... A large portion of real-world data is stored in commercial relational database systems. In contrast, most statistical learning methods work only with "flat " data representations. Thus, to apply these methods, we are forced to convert our data into a flat form, thereby losing much ..."

Model checking and abstraction

by Peter J. Clarke, Djuradj Babich, Tariq M. King, B. M. Golam Kibria - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1994
"... software developers are using the Java language as the language of choice on many applications. This is due to the effective use of the object-oriented (OO) paradigm to develop large software projects and the ability of the Java language to support the increasing use of web technologies in business ..."

class written in Java into one of a finite set of groups. A detailed description on how we enumerated all the possible groups of Java classes is also provided. Using TaxTOOLJ (a Taxonomy Tool for the Object-Oriented Language Java) we cataloged over 155k classes from a cross-section of Java applications

GOLOG: A Logic Programming Language for Dynamic Domains

by Hector J. Levesque, Raymond Reiter, Yves Lespérance, Fangzhen Lin, Richard B. Scherl , 1994
"... This paper proposes a new logic programming language called GOLOG whose interpreter automatically maintains an explicit representation of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about the preconditions and effects of actions and the initial state of the world. This allo ..."

Reasoning the fast and frugal way: Models of bounded rationality.

by Gerd Gigerenzer , Daniel G Goldstein - Psychological Review, , 1996
"... Humans and animals make inferences about the world under limited time and knowledge. In contrast, many models of rational inference treat the mind as a Laplacean Demon, equipped with unlimited time, knowledge, and computational might. Following H. Simon's notion of satisncing, the authors have ..."

The Coordination of Arm Movements: An Experimentally Confirmed Mathematical Model

by Tamar Flash, Neville Hogans - Journal of neuroscience , 1985
"... This paper presents studies of the coordination of volun-tary human arm movements. A mathematical model is for-mulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative fea-tures and the quantitative details observed experimentally in planar, multijoint arm movements. Coordination is modeled mathematic ..."

Free-form deformation of solid geometric models

by Thomas W. Sederberg, Scott R. Parry - IN PROC. SIGGRAPH 86 , 1986
"... A technique is presented for deforming solid geometric models in a free-form manner. The technique can be used with any solid modeling system, such as CSG or B-rep. It can deform surface primitives of any type or degree: planes, quadrics, parametric surface patches, or implicitly defined surfaces, f ..."

, for example. The deformation can be applied either globally or locally. Local deformations can be imposed with any desired degree of derivative continuity. It is also possible to deform a solid model in such a way that its volume is preserved. The scheme is based on trivariate Bernstein polynomials

Flocks, herds, and schools: a distributed behavior model,

by Craig W Reynolds - Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH , 1987
"... Abstract The aggregate motion of a flock of birds, a herd of land animals, or a school of fish is a beautiful and familiar part of the natural world. But this type of complex motion is rarely seen in computer animation. This paper explores an approach based on simulation as an alternative to script ..."

Improved methods for building protein models in electron density maps and the location of errors in these models. Acta Crystallogr. sect

by T. A. Jones, J. -y. Zou, S. W. Cowan, M. Kjeldgaard - A , 1991
"... Map interpretation remains a critical step in solving the structure of a macromolecule. Errors introduced at this early stage may persist throughout crystallo-graphic refinement and result in an incorrect struc-ture. The normally quoted crystallographic residual is often a poor description for the q ..."
