We explore a rule-based formalisation for contracts: the rules capture conditional norms, that is, they describe situations arising during the enactment of a multi-agent system, and norms that arise from these situations. However, such rules may establish conflicting norms, that is, norms which simultaneously prohibit and oblige (or prohibit and permit) agents to perform particular actions. We ...

this paper will examine ibn sina’s theory of the conditional syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later islamic tradition. as a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines i...

in this paper, we investigate variations of gold coin price and also probe to model the fluctuations and conditional variance of coin market returns. the data consist of daily market prices of gold coin over the 1380 – 1386 period. since volatility clustering is viewed in time series of returns, we employ arch (autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) methodology in order to model the var...

confirmation of convergence hypothesis among provinces, its role in removing divergence among regions and achieving regional convergence is one of the important issues in macroeconomics. the aim of the present study is to examine absolute and conditional income convergence hypotheses among iranian provinces during the period 2000-2010 using panel data. the hypotheses are tested for the whole pr...

In two-level fractional factorial designs, conditional main effects can provide insights by which to analyze and facilitate the de-aliasing of fully aliased two-factor interactions. Conditional are particular interest in situations where some factors nested within others. Most relevant literature has focussed on development data analysis tools that use effects, while issue optimal design for a ...

The referential analysis of conditionals has recently been put forth as an alternative the Kratzer-style restrictor (Schein 2001, Schlenker 2004, among others). Under this analysis, conditional antecedents are definite descriptions worlds/situations. This paper explores a widely accepted assumption namely that refer to plural objects. I show singularity/plurality can correlate with whether expr...

Over 20 million Tweets were used to study the psychological characteristics of real-world situations over the course of two weeks. Models for automatically and accurately scoring individual Tweets on the DIAMONDS dimensions of situations were developed. Stable daily and weekly fluctuations in the situations that people experience were identified. Predicted temporal trends were found, providing ...

We show how to extend any finite probability space into another one which satisfies the conditional construal of for original propositions, given some maximal allowed degree nesting conditional. This mitigates force well-known triviality results.

Some properties of conditionally independent random variables are studied. Conditional versions of generalized Borel-Cantelli lemma, generalized Kolmogorov’s inequality and generalized Hájek-Rényi inequality are proved. As applications, a conditional version of the strong law of large numbers for conditionally independent random variables and a conditional version of the Kolmogorov’s strong law...
