Discrete Copulas

IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 2006
We define discrete copulas on a grid of the unit square and show that with each discrete copula there is associated, in a natural way, a bistochastic matrix. This is used in order to introduce the product of discrete copulas. Discrete copulas of order n are the smallest convex set containing the irreducible discrete copulas of order n introduced by ...

Artificial intelligence, bureaucratic form, and discretion in public service

Inf. Polity, 2020
This article examines the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI), discretion, and bureaucratic form in public organizations. We ask: How is the use of AI both changing and changed by the bureaucratic form of public organizations, and what ...

Discrete Discrete Wavelets

SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 1992
Summary: A discrete family of wavelets consisting of discrete functionals in a Sobolev space is studied. It is shown that they form a complete orthonormal system in \(H^{-s}\), \(s>{1\over 2}\), generated by a single ``mother functional''. Closed form expressions are derived in certain cases.

Discrete Sets and Discrete Maps

Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1982
AbstractA subset of a topological space is called discrete iff every point in the space has a neighborhood which meets the set in at most one point. Discrete sets are useful for decomposing the images of certain maps and for generalizing closed maps. All discrete sets are closed iff the space is T1.

Machine + man: A field experiment on the role of discretion in augmenting AI-based lending models

Journal of Accounting & Economics, 2020
We assess the role of human discretion in lending outcomes using a randomized, controlled experiment. The lenders in our sample utilize a third party, machine-generated credit model as an input in their decision.

The Moderating Role of Willingness to Implement Policy on Street-level Bureaucrats’ Multidimensional Enforcement Style and Discretion

International Journal of Public Administration, 2021
This study contributes to the understanding of street-level bureaucrats’ behavior at the frontlines of regulatory enforcement. Regulatory enforcement is a multifaceted phenomenon that revolves around the concept of discretion of street-level bureaucrats.
