Pareto in Prison

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pareto principle is based on the concept that roughly 80% of outcomes are generated by 20% of inputs, efforts, or contributors within a group. Using a national sample of U.S. prison inmates, we examined various percentile rankings of self‐reported institutional misconduct to determine how much disorder is created behind bars by the most ...

Bias in Sentencing Men for Sexual Offenses Against Minors: Male Victims Bring More Punitive Sentences Than Female Victims

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior theoretical and empirical research examining the influence of sex on sentencing has been primarily concerned with the sex of the offender, as opposed to the victim. The present study drew on a convenience sample of males (n = 1190) in state and federal correctional facilities across the country, examining minimum sentences in relation to

Diversifying agent's behaviors in interactive decision models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Intelligent Systems, Volume 37, Issue 12, Page 12035-12056, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Modeling other agents' behaviors plays an important role in decision models for interactions among multiple agents. To optimize its own decisions, a subject agent needs to model what other agents act simultaneously in an uncertain environment.

Noisy matrix completion for longitudinal data with subject‐ and time‐specific covariates

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we consider the imputation of missing responses in a longitudinal dataset via matrix completion. We propose a fixed‐effect, longitudinal, low‐rank model that incorporates both subject‐specific and time‐specific covariates. To solve the optimization problem, a two‐step optimization algorithm is proposed, which provides good ...
