چکیده

Canberra, ACT, 0200, Australia http://www.hutter1.net/ Summary • If prediction is the goal, but full Bayes not feasible, one should Identify (estimate/test/select) the Hypothesis (parameter/model/ interval) that Predicts best (PHI). •What best is can depend on benchmark (Loss, Lõss), distance function (d), how long we use the model (m), compared to how much data we have at hand (n). •The new principle (PHI) possesses many desirable properties. • In particular, PHI can properly deal with nested hypotheses, and nicely justifies, reconciles, and blends MAP and ML for m À n, MDL for m ≈ n, and SMF for n À m.

Predictive Power of Involvement Load Hypothesis and Technique Feature Analysis across L2 Vocabulary Learning Tasks

Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...

Model Predictive Control System Design using ARMAX Identification Method for Car-following Behavior

The control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. For this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on ARMAX structure from a real traffic dataset and design a Model Predictive Control (MPC) system. Based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the MPC predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...

Adequacy of Neural Predictors for Speaker Identification

We analyse in this paper neural prediction systems for automatic speaker identification (A.S.I.) and links between models complexity and their performances. We develop two ideas for enhancing such systems : we first reconsider the validity of standard hypothesis underlying the use of predictive models, we then propose different techniques for incorporating a-priori knowledge in our models. We i...

A Systematic Model Building Process for Predicting

HECKMAN, SARAH SMITH. A Systematic Model Building Process for Predicting Actionable Static Analysis Alerts. (Under the direction of Laurie Williams). Automated static analysis tools can identify potential source code anomalies, like null pointers, buffer overflows, and unclosed streams that could lead to field failures. These anomalies, which we call alerts, require inspection by a developer to...

The Effects of the Predictive Ability of Accruals and Cash Flows on Earnings Quality: Evidences from TSE

This paper examines the effects of the predictive ability of accruals and cash flows on earnings quality in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). In this study we have used two methods: cross-section and pooled for testing hypothesis. The results show that Sloan model has the strongest ability to predict future earnings, and cash component earnings have more ability than accruals component earnings for ...
