Essays in Asset Allocation
This dissertation consists of two essays in asset allocation. In the first essay, I measure the value of active money management. I explore this issue by comprehensively examining the parametric rule proposed by Brandt, Santa-Clara and Valkanov (2009) (the BSV rule) out-of-sample for portfolio …

Selection Bias In Lung Allocation: Influence On Lung Allocation Score And Physician Decision-Making
… are allocated to recipients based on a lung allocation score (LAS). While the statistical models used to construct the LAS control for patients’ demographic and clinical values, they do not account for selection bias, which arises because: (1) individuals are removed from the waitlist once …

Optimal allocation of blood products
The high cost of collection and the short shelf life of apheresis platelets demand efficient inventory management to reduce outdates and shortages. Apheresis platelets are licensed for seven days, and blood centers are keen on knowing the consequences of various product collection and distribution …

Skew Normal Bayesian Asset Allocation
<p>This dissertation explores a Bayesian asset allocation problem based on the skew-normal distribution assumption and extends the Bayesian asset allocation model obtained by assuming hidden truncation skew-normal returns. Hidden truncation model provides a flexible family of skewed alternatives to …

Water Allocation in Southern Alberta
This dissertation examines water allocation in southern Alberta and develops a fungibility framework for water rights and examines a range of characteristics impacting the transferability of water rights in southern Alberta. Fungibility is the degree to which water rights are homogenous. The …

Palloc: parallel dynamic memory allocation
… tree data structure for allowing concurrent allocations and frees to proceed within a single thread's heap. PALLOC1 also provides a novel, provable guarantee limiting the allocator's requests for more memory from the operating system to only those situations where no contiguous block is …

Dynamic online resource allocation problems
Online resource allocation problems consider assigning a limited number of available resources to sequentially arriving requests with the objective to maximize rewards. With the emergence of e-business, applications such as online order fulfillment and customer service require real-time resource …

Asset allocation and Regulation 28
… the impact Regulation 28 has on optimal asset allocation. The revised Regulation 28 of the pensions fund act came into effect as of 1 July 2011 which imposed certain restrictions or constraints on pension funds under direct control of trustees. This study evaluates some of the constraints …

Optimal allocation of surgical services
… for each procedure, we compute an optimal allocation of cases subject to capacity and demand constraints. We pilot our framework by studying three surgical service lines within BIDMC: General Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, and Surgical Oncology. We explore three different approaches to more …

Equity v. equality: the role of gender and disclosure of allocation on individual reward allocation decisions
Research on reward allocations has consistently found differences in the manner in which men and women allocate rewards between themselves and others (Kahn, O'Leary, Krulewitz, & Lamm, 1980; Major & Adams, 1984; Major & Deaux, 1982). Overall, the research seems to suggest that when asked to divide …

Distributed Newton-Seeking for Resource Allocation
… thesis develops an approach to solve resource allocation problems in a fully distributed fashion where the separable cost function is unknown with dynamics in discrete time. To accomplish this, we utilize a distributed extremum-seeking scheme that estimates the cost function’s gradient and …

Scale and justice in water allocation
Water allocation is a fundamental part of water resources management. Water allocation is often a contested process because it involves multiple uses and users of water. Issues of justice arise when resources are, or are perceived to be, in short supply. When water is allocated the rules for the …
