Stochastic dominance for project screening and selection under uncertainty
At any given moment, engineering and chemical companies have a host of projects that they are either trying to screen to advance to the next stage of research or select from for implementation. These choices could range from a relative few, like the expansion of production capacity of a particular …

Model-Free Variable Screening, Sparse Regression Analysis and Other Applications with Optimal Transformations
<p>Variable screening and variable selection methods play important roles in modeling high dimensional data. Variable screening is the process of filtering out irrelevant variables, with the aim to reduce the dimensionality from ultrahigh to high while retaining all important variables. Variable …
