The theory of fair allocation is often favourably contrasted with the social choice theory in the search for escape routes from Arrow’s impossibility theorem. Its success is commonly attributed to the fact that it is modest in its goal vis-à-vis social choice theory, since it does not aspire for a full-fledged ordering of options, and settles with a subset of “fair” options. We show that its su...

Yk = HkXk + Zk where k ∈ {1, . . . , N} is the time index and • (X1, . . . , XN ) is the input vector submitted to the average power constraint E ( 1 N ∑N k=1 |Xk| ) ≤ P ; • (Z1, . . . , ZN ) is the noise vector, whose components are i.i.d.∼ NC(0, σ) random variables, independent of X1, . . . , XN ; • (Y1, . . . , YN ) is the output vector; • H1, . . . ,HN are the fading coefficients (to be spe...

Arrow’s celebrated theorem shows that the aggregation of individuals’ preferences into a social ordering cannot make the ranking of any pair of alternatives depend only on individuals’ preferences over that pair, unless the fundamental Pareto and non-dictatorship principles are violated. In a unified approach covering the theory of social choice and the theory of fair allocation, we investigate...

The goal of this work is to introduce one of the most successful among recently developed statistical techniques – the support vector machine (SVM) – to the field of corporate bankruptcy analysis. The main emphasis is done on implementing SVMs for analysing predictors in the form of financial ratios. A method is proposed of adapting SVMs to default probability estimation. A survey of practicall...
