Self-adaptive threshold adjustment algorithms (SATAs) are required to reconfigure their parameters autonomously (i.e. to achieve self-parameter adjustment) at runtime and during online use for effective signal detection ...

In this paper, an avian–human influenza epidemic model with diffusion, nonlocal delay and spatial homogeneous environment is investigated. This model describes the transmission of avian influenza among poultry, humans and ...

Gali and Gambetti (2015) found protracted episodes in which stock prices rise in response to monetary policy tightening. This counter-intuitive result suggests that raising the policy rate in response to a perceived asset ...

Models of flotation found in literature are generally complex and reliant on manual surveys and laboratory data. Furthermore, these models do not usually indicate the causal relationships from true process independent ...

We study contagion between Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and the equity market in the U.S. over four sub-samples covering January, 2003 to December, 2017, by using Bayesian nonparametric quantile-on-quantile (QQ) ...

Using 39 years of ECMWF renalysis data, an established energetics framework and simple composite analysis this study has shown that South African cut-off low (COL) pressure systems are preceded by downstream development ...

The celebrated Takens' embedding theorem concerns embedding an attractor of a dynamical system in a Euclidean space of appropriate dimension through a generic delay-observation map. The embedding also establishes a topological ...

Despite the econometric advances of the last 30 years, the effects of monetary policy stance during the boom and busts of the stock market are not clearly defined. In this paper, we use a structural heterogeneous vector ...

A semi-autogenous grinding mill is simulated with gradient and non-gradient based extremum seeking controllers to maximize the mill performance using grind curves. Grind curves map the essential performance measures of a ...

Previous studies have provided evidence that trade-related uncertainty tends to predict an increase in Bitcoin returns. In this paper, we extend the related literature by examining whether the information on the US–China ...
