Storage tanks from rainwater harvesting systems (RWHs) are designed to provide flow equalization between rainfall and water demand. The minimum storage capacity required take into account the maximum variations of stored volumes, i.e., active storage, depends basically on magnitude variability profiles size Given random nature variables involved in hydrological process, probability theory is a ...

Abstract Gathering labeled data to train well-performing machine learning models is one of the critical challenges in many applications. Active aims at reducing labeling costs by an efficient and effective allocation costly resources. In this article, we propose a decision-theoretic selection strategy that (1) directly optimizes gain misclassification error, (2) uses Bayesian approach introduci...

We study the problem of allocating objects using lotteries when agents only submit preferences over objects. A standard approach is to “extend” agents’ preferences over objects to preferences over lotteries, using (first-order) stochastic dominance, or the sd-extension. Following Cho (2016), we complement this approach with two alternative extensions, the dland ulextensions, that give rise to l...
