The Value of Mortgage Assumptions
It is widely accepted that mortgage assumptions have an effect on the selling prices of single family houses. However, most empirical work has found that the actual effects are substantially less than the expected effects. Explanations of this difference have been ad hoc.

Mixed-Income Housing: Assumptions and Realities
… strategies are founded upon a number of assumptions. It is assumed that a mix of households at varying income levels will result in greater stability, improved access to services and resources, opportunities for social networking, and greater social control leading. This study addresses …

On computational intractability assumptions in cryptography
… but no efficient algorithm can solve them. Such assumptions, which define intractable problems for efficient algorithms, are called computational intractability assumptions. In this work, we motivate a study of computational intractability assumptions which is goal driven and lends support to the …

Relaxing assumptions in deep probabilistic modelling
… models are reliant upon restrictive theoretical assumptions, deriving from longstanding distributions and divergences at their core, which inhibit their continued advance. By leveraging wider distribution and divergence families, transferring broader parametric assumptions to deep generative …

Three Pension Cost Methods under Varying Assumptions
… using different annuity, interest and inflation assumptions. Then we make comparisons between cost methods as well as between assumption changes. The cost methods considered in this paper are the unit credit cost method, projected unit credit cost method, and the entry age cost method. Both the …

An Assumptions Management Framework for Systems Software
… nature and number of defects caused by invalid assumptions. It was found that a significant number of defects in the systems studied had invalid assumptions as the root-cause. It was found that AMF has the ability to encode and validate majority of the assumptions that caused defects in these …

Parameterizing PSD assumptions for remote sensing algorithms
… the retrieval algorithms, specifically the assumptions associated with snowfall particle size distributions (PSD). In support of the GPM mission, the Ground Validation (GPM-GV) program sponsored field campaigns to collect a comprehensive precipitation dataset utilizing airborne, …

Beyond traditional assumptions in fair machine learning
This thesis scrutinizes common assumptions underlying traditional machine learning approaches to fairness in consequential decision making. After challenging the validity of these assumptions in real-world applications, we propose ways to move forward when they are violated. First, we show that …

Sexuality research: Untested gender assumptions amid paradigm shifts
Content analysis of 803 sexuality research abstracts selected from Sociological Abstracts published from January 1974 to August 1992 answers three questions: (1) Are there trends in sexuality research? (2) Is there a paradigm shift? and (3) Is gender differentiation present? Research between 1973 …

The examination of assumptions in clinical nursing practice
… was a study designed to identify and explore the assumptions that Registered Nurses have about their current nursing role and practice. A qualitative case study approach was used to gather descriptive data. Thirteen study participants completed the indicators of critical thinking exercise and …

Essays on Futures Trading Under Non-Standard Assumptions
… assumption is relaxed and more reasonable assumptions about agents' decision context are considered in three studies on the behavior of hedgers and traders. Hedging behavior in futures market is investigated by relaxing assumptions related to both expected utility theory and the hedger's …

Automated fixing of wrong assumptions on underdetermined specifications
… NonDex approach to proactively detect such wrong assumptions in the production and test code. The goal of this thesis is to propose automated code changes that help resolve these issues by either making the output deterministic or making the test assertion order-agnostic. We present a novel …

Studies of premixed turbulent flames under flamelet assumptions
… and area enhancement based on flamelet assumptions (’missing area’). The definition of turbulent burning velocities was revisited and re-clarified to avoid systematic error based on the conservation equation of Favre-averaged progress of reaction across the flame brush in different …

Computational soundness for standard assumptions of formal cryptography
… conceptually simple, and relies only on general assumptions. Specifically, it can be thought of as a 'self-referential' variation on a well-known encryption scheme. 4. Lastly, we show how the computational soundness of the Dolev-Yao model can be maintained even as it is extended to include new …

EFFECT OF DISTRIBUTIONAL ASSUMPTIONS ON SPARE COMPONENT AVAILABILITY EVALUATION
This thesis presents some basic techniques for availability modelling and quantitative evaluation in repairable systems. Two Monte Carlo simulation methods are developed for the evaluation of Markovian systems with spare components. The· results of the simulation method are compared with those …
