Municipal credit rating modelling by neural networks

Modelling Municipal Rating by Cluster Analysis and Neural Networks

The paper presents the design of the parameters for long-term municipal rating. Modelling of the rating is realized by means of unsupervised methods, because the rating classes are not known a priori. The model design based on statistical methods (neural networks) is represented by cluster analysis (self-organizing feature maps). Key-Words: Credit risk, rating, unsupervised learning, cluster an...

Municipal Solid Waste Performance Indicators

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper introduces a framework developed for the waste management sector supported by Performance Indicators. It was designed in order to be coherent and articulate and to enable full integration of its information. These indicators proved to be a useful management tool. This framework includes 167 performance indicators (PI) divided into two types of information: 58 Contex...

Sleep and Job Performance in Law Enforcement: Measuring Differences Between Highway Patrol, Sheriff, and Municipal Police Officers

Prior research on the correlation between sleep and accidents on-the-job leaves little doubt about the potential for injury and death. The fatigue literature aptly includes the study of justice administration within the socially and legally relevant contexts of fatigue-impaired police discretion. In this study, the correlation between sleep measurements, fatigue, and police work are examined am...

This study presents the results of a unique randomized trial testing whether these institutions can be reformed through incremental administrative change. The police department of the state of Rajasthan, India collaborated with researchers at US and Ind...
