In this research, we investigate a generalized form of Vidale-Wolfe (GVW) model. One key element our modeling work is that the GVW model contains two useful indexes representing advertiser's elasticity and word-of-mouth (WoM) effect, respectively. Moreover, discuss some desirable properties model, present deep neural network-based estimation method to learn its parameters. Furthermore, based on...

This paper proposes attention enabled multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) framework for active distribution network decentralized Volt-VAR control. Using the unsupervised clustering, whole system can be decomposed into several sub-networks according to voltage and reactive power sensitivity relationships. Then, distributed control problem of each sub-network is modeled as Markov gam...

Genetically modified (GM) salmon is the first animal GM product approved for human consumption. Given that genetic modification in food industry a highly controversial issue, understanding consumers’ preferences vis-à-vis non-GM farmed and wild-caught important to provide insights into policy decision makings on products. We use choice experiment estimate U.S. willingness pay examine heterogene...
