Branch prediction apparatus, systems, and methods
An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to predict a branch within a first operating context, such as a user context, using a first strategy; and to predict a branch within a second operating context, such as an operating system context, using a second strategy. In some embodiments, apparatus and systems may comprise one or more first storage locations to store branch history information associated with a first operating context, and one ore more second storage locations to store branch history information associated with a second operating context.Board of Regents, University of Texas Syste
Asymptotic normality of extreme value estimators on
Consider i.i.d. random elements on . We show that, under an
appropriate strengthening of the domain of attraction condition, natural
estimators of the extreme-value index, which is now a continuous function, and
the normalizing functions have a Gaussian process as limiting distribution. A
key tool is the weak convergence of a weighted tail empirical process, which
makes it possible to obtain the results uniformly on . Detailed examples
are also presented.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009053605000000831 in the

Regulation and the neo-Wicksellian approach to monetary policy
Laubach and Williams (2003) employ a Kalman filter approach to jointly estimate the neutral real federal funds rate and trend output growth using an IS relationship and an output gap based inflation equation. They find a positive link between these two variables, but also much error surrounding neutral real rate estimates. We modify their approach by including variables for regulations on deposit interest rates and on wages and prices. These variables are statistically significant and notably affect estimates of two policy relevant coefficients: the sensitivity of output to the real interest rate and that of inflation to the output gap.Monetary policy ; Federal funds rate
