Some results on moments and cumulants.

In the present paper we discuss various results related to moments and cumulants of probability distributions and approximations to probability distributions. As the approximations are not necessarily probability distributions themselves, we shall apply the concept of moments and cumulants to more general functions. Recursions are deduced for the moments and cumulants of functions in the form Rka,b as defined by Dhaene & Sundt (1994). We deduce a simple relation between the DePril transform and the cumulants of a function. This relation is appplied to some classes of approximations to probability distributions, in particular the approximations of Hipp and DePril.

PENGARUH ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAITS TERHADAP INTENSI KEWIRAUSAHAAN

This study is aimed at examining the influence of entrepreneurial traits including need for achievement, self-efficacy, and risk taking propensity towards students’ entrepreneurial intention. The population of this study is students of AMA YPK Yogyakarta. This study used purposive sampling in which the criteria of the sample were those who had joined in entrepreneur class. The total numbers of sample processed were 90 students.    Based on the test of hypothesis using multiple regression, it resulted that need for achievement and self-efficacy gave influence toward students’ entrepreneurial intention, while risk taking propensity did not have any influence toward students’ entrepreneurial intention.

Mengukur Brand Awarness Laptop Merek Zyrex Berdasarkan Persepsi Pengguna Laptop Di Yogyakarta

The brand awareness is a basic dimension in brand equity. One brand does not have any equity unless the consumers are awareness of the existence of the brand itself. The brand awareness of one product in the costumers’ mind is really important to notice and organize.

The population in this research is the users of note book in Yogyakarta. The numbers of sample in this research are 100 people. The research uses convenience sampling that is the sampling method based on the easy and accessible selection of population members in getting information. Meanwhile, the sample in this research is those who use note book. The measurement of brand awareness is started by the questionnaire data tabulation; continued by the questionnaire data classification about top of mind, brand recall, brand recognition, and unaware of brand then continued by the percentage accounting. Based on the test done and the numbers of users, most of respondents use notebook of Acer brand. Whereas based on the level of awareness, for top of mind, many respondents remember the Acer brand firstly. Based on the brand recall, many respondents remember Compaq as the second brand of notebook they are able to remember. In addition, for the brand recognition, it shows that there are some respondents need to remind about the notebook brand of Zyre

At least customers have ever purchase in a modern store is considered to have be able to evaluate the services provided in the modern stores.Based on testing using multiple regression dimensions of tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy simultaneously influence on customer satisfaction on modern stores in Yogyakarta. Partially tangibles no effect on customer satisfaction on modern stores in Yogyakarta. While reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy in partial effect on customer satisfaction on modern stores in Yogyakarta.Keywords:Bukti Fisik, Kehandalan, Daya Tanggap, Jaminan, Empati, kepuasan pelanggan

On (Subgame Perfect) Secure Equilibrium in Quantitative Reachability Games

We study turn-based quantitative multiplayer non zero-sum games played on finite graphs with reachability objectives. In such games, each player aims at reaching his own goal set of states as soon as possible. A previous work on this model showed that Nash equilibria (resp. secure equilibria) are guaranteed to exist in the multiplayer (resp. two-player) case. The existence of secure equilibria in the multiplayer case remained and is still an open problem. In this paper, we focus our study on the concept of subgame perfect equilibrium, a refinement of Nash equilibrium well-suited in the framework of games played on graphs. We also introduce the new concept of subgame perfect secure equilibrium. We prove the existence of subgame perfect equilibria (resp. subgame perfect secure equilibria) in multiplayer (resp. two-player) quantitative reachability games. Moreover, we provide an algorithm deciding the existence of secure equilibria in the multiplayer case.Comment: 32 pages. Full version of the FoSSaCS 2012 proceedings pape
