Essays on the Organizational Efficiency of a Political Pressure Group
… for the group's political effectiveness under complete information but affect the political effectiveness of the group by worsening the informational problem. It indicates that the idea of small group dominance in the political arena is made clearer by introducing the informational problem.

Application of the systems approach : an information and decision model for the hog enterprise
… a dynamic model for hog enterprises in which a complete information system is incorporated. It will provide the farmer with several plans of action, each yielding expected values for the different criteria that might relate to his goals. A plan will be selected for detailed examination as to its …

Investigating Reinforcement Learning and Evolutionary Computation for Games with Stochasticity and Incomplete Information
… computation for solving complex games with incomplete information and stochasticity. Although there has been significant recent progress on AI game players, traditional deep reinforcement learning methods have mainly shown success in games with simpler properties. In this thesis, we evaluate …

Preliminary design of a booking information system for the city of Columbia, South Carolina
A need has been identified for a booking information system (BIS) for the City of Columbia, South Carolina to automate the arrestee booking process, collect booking information and images, and transfer information to a records management system. This project presents problems to be solved by a BIS, …

An Experimental Study on the Impact of Pressure Drop in the Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube
… insight, however, such simulations require a complete set of information of the geometric, operational, and performance parameters of particular vortex tube experiments. An experiment is developed to provide complete information for CFD simulations. The vortex tube under consideration is …

Variations on Zombies and Survivor in Simple Polygons
… as possible. Both players take turns and have complete information of the graph and each others' position. We consider two variants played on point visibility graphs: the case where edges have Euclidean weight between their endpoints, and the case where all edge weights are one; we denote these …

Defense against network attacks using game theory
… An important restriction imposed in repeated complete-information games is that each player has complete knowledge of the adversary’s payoffs. This assumption is unrealistic when the adversaries are the defense system and the attacker. We employ a Fictitious-Play approach in order to remove …

Bargaining Theory
… infinite-time horizon sequential games with complete and perfect information. In Part II (chapters 3 and 4) we examine the role of outside options in bilateral bargaining. Two models are presented, each model is a non cooperative infinite-time horizon sequential game with complete …

Studies on optimization problems with dynamically arriving information
… environments where dynamically arriving information must be integrated on-the-fly into decision-making. Research produced online algorithms ranging from myopic reoptimization (Reopt) to learning-based anticipation methods. However, given the complexity of real-world problems, optimal …

Essays in Macroeconomics and Asset Pricing
… fundamentals. I consider households who have incomplete information and cannot directly observe underlying changes in fundamentals. Instead, they solve a Bayesian signal extraction problem to infer fundamentals from prices. In contrast to the complete information benchmark, my model replicates …

Essays in bargaining and auction theory
… to the unique equilibrium outcome of the complete-information bargaining game. Segmentation equilibria, in which types partially separate themselves into segments by the initial offer, are also constructed. Most of the types in the segments trade in the first rounds, while types near the …

Prenatal care utilization and its effect on pregnancy outcome in West Virginia
… due to the number of subjects that provided complete information for specific variables. Data were obtained from survey questionnaires, participants' medical records and food frequency questionnaires. Data were analyzed by Statistica using Pearson's and Spearman's correlation.;Results of this …

Numerical study of improved methods of in-field capacity assessment of reinforced concrete bridges
… networks. For reinforced concrete structures, complete information regarding the number, size, and orientation of steel reinforcement is necessary in order to make a complete strength assessment. Since reinforcement is not visible externally, making an accurate assessment without design …

Plastic buckling of initially imperfect stiffened cylinders in axial compression
… algebraic equations whose solution provides complete information about the prebuckling equilibrium path. Bifurcation from the primary path is examined by making use of a functional whose first variation is zero when two solutions to the problem are possible. This leads to an eigenvalue …

Achieving real transparency : optimizing building energy ratings and disclosure in the U.S. residential sector
… of inefficient housing stock. Providing more complete information on the energy performance of homes can enable buyers and sellers to value energy efficiency and can catalyze the delivery of residential energy efficiency. To that end, the European Union and five cities in the U.S. and …

Triple Coincidence Beam Spin Asymmetry Measurements in Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering
… Distributions (GPDs) provides hitherto the most complete information about the quark structure of hadron. GPDs are accessible through hard-exclusive reactions, among which Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the cleanest reaction. A dedicated DVCS experiment on Hydrogen (E00-110) ran in …

Combination of a Probabilistic-Based and a Rule-Based Approach for Genealogical Record Linkage

Cognitive foundations of strategic behavior : from games to revolutions
… receiving enough messages. In 2 x 2 games of complete information, the solution concept lies between Pareto dominance and risk-dominance. In coordination games, the model explains several experimental facts that cannot be accounted for by global games, especially the fact people coordinate …
