How can one determine whether a treatment, such as the introduction of social program or trade shock, alters agents' incentives to form links in network? This paper proposes analogs two‐sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, widely used literature test null hypothesis no treatment effects, for network data. It first specifies testing problem which is that two networks are drawn from same random graph ...

the main objective of this paper is to introduce a new intelligent optimization technique that uses a predictioncorrectionstrategy supported by a recurrent neural network for finding a near optimal solution of a givenobjective function. recently there have been attempts for using artificial neural networks (anns) in optimizationproblems and some types of anns such as hopfield network and boltzm...
