RELIABILITY ANALYSIS FOR JACK-UP GEARBOX BASED ON COPULA BAYESIAN NETWORK
A reliability analysis method for complicated mechanical system is proposed which is based on Copula Bayesian network. Since the variables in complicated mechanical system are numerous and correlated to each other,the traditional analysis methods are ...

Acquirer Strategic Orientations, Integration Decisions, and Performance
Abstract Integration decisions are not isolated, as they are embedded in an organizational context. Using a multi‐country sample (Nordics, German speaking Europe, and China) of small‐ and medium‐sized acquirers, we explore the influence of firm strategic orientations on how managers conceptualize acquisitions, make integration decisions, and impact ...

The Effect of Board Leadership Roles and Committee Responsibilities on Governance Effectiveness
Abstract Expectations for corporate directors have expanded over time, placing growing demands on their time and attention. Drawing on the cognitive foundations of the attention‐based view (ABV), we theorize that board directors' leadership roles and committee assignments shape their attentional perspective and engagement in ways that can both hinder ...

Abstract While executives vary in attention to the past, present, and future, prior work has largely examined these temporal orientations in isolation or at the individual level, which limits insight into how they jointly configure within top management teams (TMTs) and translate into firm behaviours.

A joint model of cost and churn for the insurance industry
Abstract In insurance markets, claim costs are highly variable, heavy‐tailed, and difficult to predict. At the same time, policyholder retention and lapse behavior (customer churn) are critical determinants of long‐term profitability and solvency. Most existing models in the literature treat claim costs and lapses as independent, overlooking potential ...

A Conditional Tail Expectation Type Risk Measure for Time Series
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the conditional expectation 𝔼(Xh|X0>UX(1/p)), provided 𝔼|X0|<∞, at extreme levels, where (Xt)t∈ℤ$$ {\left({X}_t\right)}_{t\in \mathbb{Z}} $$ is a strictly stationary time series, UX$$ {U}_X $$ its tail quantile function, h$$ h $$ is a positive integer and p∈(0,1)$$ p\in \left(0,1\right) $$ is such that p→0$$ p\to ...

Robust CDF‐Filtering of a Location Parameter
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel framework for designing robust filters associated with signal plus noise models having symmetric observation density. The filters are obtained by a recursion where the innovation term is a transform of the cumulative distribution function of the residuals.

On Testing for Independence Between Generalized Error Models of Several Time Series
ABSTRACT We define generalized innovations associated with generalized error models having arbitrary distributions, that is, distributions that can be mixtures of continuous and discrete distributions. These models include stochastic volatility models and regime‐switching models with possibly zero‐inflated regimes.

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference
ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...
