Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The concept of predictive maintenance in advanced manufacturing systems is crucial from the point of view of resource efficiency in the era of high competitiveness forced by energy transformation in the digital economy. Against the backdrop of sustainability and the opportunities a data cooperative offers, the combination of predictive ...

Parallel hierarchical sampling:a general-purpose class of multiple-chains MCMC algorithms [PDF]
This paper introduces the Parallel Hierarchical Sampler (PHS), a class of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms using several interacting chains having the same target distribution but different mixing properties.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Technology [PDF]
In the past fifteen years computational statistics has been enriched by a powerful, somewhat abstract method of generating variates from a target probability distribution that is based on Markov chains whose stationary distribution is the probability ...

Extreme values in higher-order Markov chains and decomposable graphical models [PDF]
This thesis applies the methods of conditional extremes to higher order stationary and homogeneous Markov chains, and to decomposable graphical models. These models are each defined by a set of transition kernels, together with an ordering and an initial

ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2019 The singular systems, which could widely describe more general systems and present traits of physical features, are discussed in this study. Taking the fact that noises always exist in the state and output measurement of one singular system into ...

Quantitative contraction rates for Markov chains on general state spaces [PDF]
, 2019 We investigate the problem of quantifying contraction coefficients of Markov transition kernels in Kantorovich (L1 Wasserstein) distances. For diffusion processes, relatively precise quantitative bounds on contraction rates have recently been derived by ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As sustainability transitions accelerate, firms increasingly engage in innovation ecosystems to pursue disruptive sustainable innovation (DSI). Nevertheless, empirical understanding regarding how innovation ecosystem coopetition—simultaneous cooperation and competition among interdependent actors—translates into sustainability‐oriented ...

On Sampling Colorings of Bipartite Graphs
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006 We study the problem of efficiently sampling k-colorings of bipartite graphs. We show that a class of markov chains cannot be used as efficient samplers.
