In this study we uses an approach for increasing web performance by analyzing and predicting the user behavior from user access log , identifying the missing paths in the logs and completing the same using a web structure so as to enhance the accuracy of web usage mining. This paper uses a simulated example to compare the result of the Pre-fetched pages after completing the missing paths in the...

demand response (dr) has many beneficiaries in the electricity market. there are independent players who are interested in dr, which include: transmission system owners, distributors, retailers, and aggregators. in this paper dr is introduced as a tradable commodity that can be exchanged between dr buyers and sellers in a pool-based market which is called demand response exchange (drx). drx ope...

This paper models contracting arrangements between one Seller and one or more Buyers when the ‘‘deliverable’’ or output under the contract is produced in a non-scalable capital-intensive production facility. The basic model proposed allows the Seller and Buyers to negotiate bilateral contracts for the good in advance. On the day, the Seller and Buyers can also sell excess capacity or buy additi...

Two-sided search is an important feature of the Real Estate market (REM). Existing empirical equilibrium search models assume that only one side of the market searches and, thus, can not adequately describe this market. We specify a two-sided equilibrium search model of the REM that incorporates five very important characteristics of the REM: a) buyers' and sellers' search behavior, b) heteroge...

In the residential real estate market, sellers arrive dynamically over time to put their units up for sale. These assets may differ in their attributes, including location, size, style, acreage, etc. Sellers themselves differ in their own financial constraints, carrying costs, and their delay tolerances, i.e., how long they are willing to wait until they sell their unit. Buyers arrive dynamical...

In this study we consider the health implications of the sequencing of a college degree vis-à-vis familial roles during the transition to adulthood. We hypothesize that people who earned a college degree before assuming familial roles will have better health than people who earned a college degree afterwards. To test this hypothesis, we focus on obesity and use data from the National Longitudin...

We study the envy-free pricing problem in linear multi-unit markets with budgets, where there is a seller who brings multiple units of a good, while several buyers bring monetary endowments. Our goal is to compute an envy-free (item) price and allocation, i.e. an outcome where all the demands of the buyers are met given their budget constraints, which additionally achieves a desirable objective...
