LASSO Regression in Consumer Price Index Malaysia

This study is aimed to determine the factors contributing to the prediction of the total Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Malaysia through model selection using LASSO regression. The outliers are identified using the leverage values and studentized deleted residuals while the multicollinearity variables will undergo progressive elimination based on Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) values. K-fold Cross-Validation (CV) method and Mean Square Error of Prediction (MSE(P)) were used to identify the best model. Model-building without removal of outliers (Set A), model-building with the remove outliers based on leverage points and studentized deleted residuals (Set B), model-building after removal of extreme outliers based on the boxplot (Set C) were carried out. The multicollinearity variables were removed for all the three sets. The results showed that the MSE(P) of the best LASSO model in Set C is the smallest compared to the other two sets. The nine major categories such as food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages and tobacco, clothing and footwear, transport, communication, recreation service and culture, education, restaurants and hotels, miscellaneous goods and services have significant contribution in prediction of the total CPI in Malaysia

Self-management of context-aware overlay ambient networks

Ambient Networks (ANs) are dynamically changing and heterogeneous as they consist of potentially large numbers of independent, heterogeneous mobile nodes, with spontaneous topologies that can logically interact with each other to share a common control space, known as the Ambient Control Space. ANs are also flexible i.e. they can compose and decompose dynamically and automatically, for supporting the deployment of cross-domain (new) services. Thus, the AN architecture must be sophisticatedly designed to support such high level of dynamicity, heterogeneity and flexibility. We advocate the use of service specific overlay networks in ANs, that are created on-demand according to specific service requirements, to deliver, and to automatically adapt services to the dynamically changing user and network context. This paper presents a self-management approach to create, configure, adapt, contextualise, and finally teardown service specific overlay networks

Oscillation parameters present: Session summary

© Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons. Session I of the Neutrino Oscillation Workshop 2018 Conference, “Neutrino Oscillations: Present”, is summarised. Results were presented by the currently-running long-baseline oscillation experiments T2K and NOvA, as well as from the accelerator experiments OPERA and MiniBooNE. Status reports and results from experiments using short-baseline accelerator neutrinos (ICARUS and MicroBooNE), atmospheric neutrinos (Super-K, IceCube and ANTARES), and those from reactors (Daya Bay and Double Chooz), and from the Sun and the Earth (Borexino) were also presented. Our current knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters depends significantly on the experimental inputs that inform us of details of the production and interactions of neutrinos, which were presented by the NA61/SHINE hadron production experiment and cross section measurements from T2K and MINERvA, as well as a review of the status of our understanding of neutrino production at nuclear reactors. The session also included theoretical reviews of the current status of neutrino oscillations, and phenomenological studies on neutrino tomography and experimental studies to support nuclear matrix element calculations (NUMEN)

The Temperature Dependence of Ultra Violet Sulfur Dioxide Absorption Cross Sections

Atmospheric sulfur dioxide data became available in 1982 during and after the eruption of El Chichon, when the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer, TOMS, received increased absorption in the shortest wavelength channels of the instrument. TOMS was designed to map the daily global total ozone field. The increased absorption was later determined to be due to sulfur dioxide because it is a gaseous volcanic substituent that has corresponding absorption to that seen in the TOMS data. Currently there is no way to develop an algorithm that will accurately subtract the effects of sulfur dioxide from the TOMS data in order to obtain the correct ozone amounts because the temperature dependence of sulfur dioxide absorption cross sections is unknown. The experimental design to find the temperature dependence involves getting the ultra violet absorption spectra of sulfur dioxide in the wavelength region of 290-340 nm at 298 K, 210K and at least one temperature in between. There is very little low temperature data currently available, so the data is very important to develop an accurate model and algorithm. The most important factor in the temperature dependence is the affect temperature has on the population of rotational energy levels. At room temperature molecules are able to occupy levels other than ground state. As the temperature is dropped, however, the higher energy levels become less populated and the ground level becomes more populated according to the Boltzmann distribution. The values of cross sections were observed to increase with temperature if they corresponded to a transition that was originated from a ground energy level and to decrease with temperature if the transition originated from a higher energy level

The struggle between equity and efficiency: do Nordic countries have a free lunch?

Although there is a vast theoretical literature on the existence of a tradeoff between equity and efficiency, empirical investigations often fail to find evidence for this proposition. Furthermore there are hints that some social models in Europe can cope better with this trade-off and are actually able to provide what economists call a free lunch. In this paper we use data from the Luxembourg Income Studies (LIS) to evaluate (a) whether there really exists something like a free lunch and (b) whether some social systems are actually better in coping with the trade-off between equity and efficiency. --equity,efficiency,tradeoff,welfare states
