Competitive regression.
… Shrinkage via Limit of Gibbs sampler (OSLOG), Competitive Iterated Ridge Regression (CIRR) and Competitive Normalised Least Squares (CNLS)) are derived and analysed. The development of these algorithms is driven by Kolmogorov complexity (known also as “competitive analysis”). OSLOG appraises …

Competitive Signal Processing
… we conclude the thesis by investigating the competitive prediction problem in a probabilistic setting. Here we investigate a particular algorithm and show that this algorithm is universal such that it asymptotically achieves the performance of the best predictor for Gaussian AR sources with …

Competitive Nucleation in Nanoclusters
… freeze to different structures through a competitive process. Understanding the mechanism of nucleation requires the knowledge of the reaction coordinate, which consists of a set of variables that accurately describe the formation of the critical nucleus. In classical nucleation theory …

Regulating competitive balance in sport
… from every section of society 1. Maintaining competitive balance in sport is essential in preserving its long term survival. A higher uncertainty of outcome in contests is likely to result in greater spectator demand and increased revenues; whereas an imbalanced competition will eventually …

Human-competitive automatic topic indexing
… amateurs. We claim that the algorithm is human-competitive because it chooses topics that are as consistent with those assigned by humans as their topics are with each other. The approach is generalizable, requires little training data and applies across different domains and languages.

The dynamic competitive balance ratio as a new method of understanding competitive balance and fan attendance
… Stemming from the UOH, came the idea of competitive balance, the concept that there is a relative level of equality in on-field strength between teams in a league (Forrest & Simmons, 2002). Key questions which arise from this literature include: “In what manner can competitive balance be …

Strategic behavior in risky competitive settings
In the first chapter of this dissertation, I propose a novel and tractable structural model for ascending auctions with both common and private value components in which heterogeneous bidders exhibit loss aversion. Importantly, I find that loss averse bidders bid noticeably lower than risk neutral …
