When combining trees, the predictions from each tree are shrunken by a scalar less than one to improve the smoothness of the resulting piecewise-constant model and the overall fit. The number of iterations that are performed by the algorithm or the number of trees in the model determines the ...
Since the problem has received a lot of attention in the computer vision community, many different distance functions has been proposed. For example, the Hausdorff distance has been used by many authors to match two point clouds. Another widely used distance is the bottleneck distance, which is ...
Among various criticisms that have been put forward to the model of Gode and Sunder, most notably is that of Cliff and Bruten [24], which have shown that the accuracy with which the model captures the behavior of real markets is dependent on the supply and demand functions. The condition ...
The Gompertz model also appeared in the work of [12] as a benchmarking and self-assessment tool and a piecewise regression model for sustainable business excellence. In a study [11], the possibility of applying the Gompertz model to predict the growth of integrated management system ...
