This paper presents a novel feature selection method based on the conditional mutual information (CMI). The proposed High Order Conditional Mutual Information Maximization (HOCMIM) incorporates high order dependencies into procedure and has straightforward interpretation due to its bottom-up derivation. HOCMIM is derived from CMI's chain expansion expressed as maximization optimization problem....

We show how auction theory can be used in the analysis of order statistics. In particular, we use a thought experiment in which we allocate signals to bidders who compete in a k+ 1-price auction. We use recent results about information aggregation in auction with many bidders to show that the amount of information in the k-th order statistics is increasing in k in the limit when the number of s...

There has been considerable attention paid to competitive and strategic information systems. Few cases, however, have been studied and presented in detail. McKesson's order entry and distribution system, Economost, is one of the most widely cited strategic information systems, with wide acceptance; nearly 100% of McKesson's orders are entered electronically by customers. Impact on customers, an...

It is important to share demand information among the members in supply chains. In recent years, production and inventory systems with advance demand information (ADI) have been discussed, where advance demand information means the information of demand which the decision maker obtains before the corresponding actual demand arrives. Appropriate production and inventory control using demand info...

Data, information and knowledge have increased within organization across time. They become wasted memories due to retired staff, died or replace to another department. This could give great impact when intellectual capital do not being used wisely especially as competitive advantage element. Therefore, there is a need to manage memories accordingly. Otherwise, time, money and energy are wasted...

As one part of our work in ordered information systems, distribution reduction is studied in inconsistent ordered information systems (OISs). Some important properties on distribution reduction are studied and discussed. The dominance matrix is restated for reduction acquisition in dominance relations based information systems. Matrix algorithm for distribution reduction acquisition is stepped....
