Sequential estimation problems for the scale parameter of a Pareto distribution

Abstract

The Pareto distribution plays a central role in many areas of econometrics. So, we first consider sequential point estimation problems for the scale parameter of a Pareto distribution. Under a very general loss structure, we derive several asymptotic results regarding the associated “risk” and “regret” functions. Then, we consider the problem of constructing a fixed-ratio confidence interval for the scale parameter, and we propose various sampling techniques to achieve the intended goal. Most of our theoretical findings are asymptotic in nature for either problem, and thus we have presented extensive simulation studies to examine moderate sample performances of all the procedures. The findings in the point estimation problem are also supposed to fill many important gaps left in the paper of Wang (1973).     

An advanced multimedia infrastructure for WWW-based information systems

We present an advanced multimedia infrastructure that integrates continuous real-time media streams within the WWW. This new service architecture focuses on advanced facilities for dealing with multimedia contents. A mediation server is at the heart of the infrastructure. It organizes and structures the multimedia information space. In addition to simple services for accessing and delivering multimedia data, it provides new functionalities for filtering and querying multimedia content. Content servers and on-line sources deliver media streams integrated within synchronized multimedia presentations. We think that the infrastructure will offer new opportunities for WWW-based information systems and electronic commerce.

Interactive Mining of Strong Friends from Social Networks and Its Applications in E-Commerce

Social networks are generally made of individuals who are linked by some types of interdependencies such as friendship. Most individuals in social networks have many linkages in terms of friends, connections, and/or followers. Among these linkages, some of them are stronger than others. For instance, some friends may be acquaintances of an individual, whereas others may be friends who care about him or her (e.g., who frequently post on his or her wall). In this study, we integrate data mining with social computing to form a social network mining algorithm, which helps the individual distinguish these strong friends from a large number of friends in a specific portion of the social networks in which he or she is interested. Moreover, our mining algorithm allows the individual to interactively change his or her mining parameters. Furthermore, we discuss applications of our social mining algorithm to organizational computing and e-commerce
