In this paper, we specify the indirect utility function as a partially linear model, where utility is nonparametric in expenditure and parametric (with fixed- or varying-coefficie...
This paper concerns a fractional function of the form xT a/ xT Bx, where B is positive definite. We consider the game of choosing x from a convex set, to maximize the function, an...
This paper introduces a nonparametric frequency-domain scheme for tuning closed-loop systems. A linear quadratic criterion is used for guiding the system towards an optimal-regula...

Deterministic annealing and relaxation labeling algorithms for classification and matching are presented and discussed. A new approach--self annealing--is introduced to bring dete...
Linear models have enjoyed great success in structured prediction in NLP. While a lot of progress has been made on efficient training with several loss functions, the problem of ...
