The study consists of two interrelated parts. In the first part, we aim to identify the best predictive model of day-ahead electricity prices. In particular, we verify the existence of a dependence of the spot price on power generation and variable costs o ...
Network planning models, which forecast the profitability of airline schedules, support many critical decisions, including equipment purchase decisions. Network planning models include an itinerary choice model that is used to allocate air total demand in ...
In reinforcement learning, an agent makes sequential decisions to maximize reward. During learning, the actual and expected outcome are compared to tell whether a decision was good or bad. The difference between the actual outcome and expected outcome is t ...
We use homeostasis, the maintenance of steady states in an organism, to explain some of the decisions made by participants in a business process. We use Vickers’s Appreciative System to model the homeostatic states with Harel’s statecharts. We take the exa ...
The drift diffusion model (Ratcliff, 1978) is widely used to model binary decision-making. In this model, evidence for the two alternatives is integrated over time until it hits a decision boundary leading to a reaction. The drift diffusion model fits many ...
Human metacognition, or the capacity to introspect on one's own mental states, has been mostly characterized through confidence reports in visual tasks. A pressing question is to what extent results from visual studies generalize to other domains. Answerin ...
Urban energy system planning (UESP) is a topic of growing concern for cities in deregulated energy markets, which plan to decrease energy demand, reduce their dependency on fossil fuels, and increase the share of renewable energy sources. UESP being a high ...
Over the last decade, a rapid development of internet, wireless mobile telecommunication, and product identification technologies make whole product life cycle visible and controllable, which can improve several operational issues over the whole product li ...
Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is designed to curb the 12%-17% of global greenhouse emissions from forests. Though the mechanism emanated from international UN climate platform, the implementation is realized locally. T ...

Although visual integration is often thought to be retinotopic, visual features can be integrated across retinotopic locations. For example, when a Vernier is followed by a sequence of flanking lines on either side, a percept of two diverging motion stream ...
