The goals of this study were to assess the primary effects of the use of cognitive strategy and a combined measure of numeric ability on recall of every-day numeric information (i.e. prices). Additionally, numeric ability was assessed as a moderator in the relationship between strategy use and memory for prices. One hundred participants memorized twelve prices that varied from 1 to 6 digits; th...

A series of five experiments examined how the evaluation of a scientific finding was influenced by information about the number of studies that had successfully replicated the initial finding. The experiments also tested the impact of frame (negative, positive) and numeric format (percentage, natural frequency) on the evaluation of scientific findings. In Experiments 1 through 4, an attitude di...

Strings of bits (bitstrings) are a common first-order representation in the design and preliminary investigation of computational intelligence algorithms given (1) the ease in mapping the strings to arbitrary domains (such as real numbers), and (2) in terms of mathematical analysis. This work considers the use of bitstrings in the context of the clonal expansion and antigenic selection in a gen...

For the assignment game, we analyze the following mechanism: sellers, simultaneously, fix their prices first; then buyers, sequentially, decide which object to buy, if any, among the remaining objects. The first phase of the game determines the potential prices, while the second phase determines the actual matching. We prove that the set of subgame perfect equilibria in pure strategies in the s...

Abstract We apply the Darmois and $C^3$ matching conditions to three different spherically symmetric spacetimes. The exterior spacetime is described by Schwarzschild vacuum solution whereas for interior counterpart we choose perfect fluid solutions with same symmetry. show that are satisfied in all cases not fulfilled. argue this difference due a non-physical behavior of pressure on surface.

Best response structure of n-person binary coordination games suggests that equilibrium selection outcome is determined by the balance of the ordinal aspects and the cardinal aspects of the game. This intuition inspires new equilibrium selection results for that class of games under the adaptive play with mistakes. Detailed comparison of the adaptive play and the single population random matchi...

In a matching model of firm formation with moral hazard, we characterize the equilibrium for economies with scarcity of capital and study the effects of redistributive taxation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions determining the equilibrium matching patterns, payoffs and interest rate. These depend only on aggregate wealth and the median wealth relative to the active population, compar...

In two-sided matching markets in which some doctors form couples, we present an algorithm that finds all the stable matchings whenever one exists, and otherwise shows that there is no stable matching. Extending the methodology of Echenique and Yenmez (2006), we characterize the set of stable matchings as the fixed points of a monotone decreasing function with respect to a certain partial order....

We develop a two-sided matching model to analyze collaboration between heterogeneous academics and firms. We predict a positive assortative matching in terms of both scientific ability and affinity for type of research, but negative assortative in terms of ability on one side and affinity in the other. In addition, the most able and most applied academics and the most able and most basic firms ...

The paper present effective method for recognition of digit, numbers. Most of speech recognition systems contain two main modules as follow “feature extraction” and “feature matching”. In this project, (MFCC) Mel Frequency Cepstrum coefficient algorithm is used to simulate feature extraction module. Using this algorithm, the Cepstral Coefficients are calculated on Mel frequency scale. VQ (vecto...
