Portfolio choice is the process of selecting the optimal proportion of various assets. One of the most well-known methods is the mean-variance approach developed by Harry Markowitz. This paper introduces the ordered ...

© 2019 INFORMS.Questionnaires for adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis aim at minimizing some measure of the uncertainty associated with estimates of preference parameters (e.g., partworths). Bayesian approaches to ...

Evolutionary change in New World Monkey (NWM) skulls occurred primarily along the line of least resistance defined by size (including allometric) variation (g(max)). Although the direction of evolution was aligned with ...

In order to deal with plant-model mismatch, iterative process optimization schemes use some adaptation strategy based on measurements. The modifier-adaptation approach consists in performing first-order corrections of the ...

High-altitude adaptation is a classic example of natural selection operating on the human genome. Physiological and genetic adaptations have been documented in populations with a history of living at high altitude. However, ...

The removal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and PCB biosorption was investigated in anaerobic batch reactors with non-adapted sludge fed with 1.5 mg L−1 of six PCB congener (PCB 10, 28, 52, 153, 138 and 180), mineral ...

It has been argued that the study of natural selection and quantitative genetics should have a central role in evolutionary thinking and undergraduate teaching in Chile. Extensive operational use of the concept of natural ...

Portfolio selection is the theory that studies the pro-cess of selecting the optimal proportion of different assets. The firstapproach was introduced by Harry Markowitz and was based ona mean-variance framework. This paper ...
