Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

New Quasi-Newton (Dfp) With Logistic Mapping

open access: yesScience Journal of University of Zakho, 2016
In this paper, we propose a modification of the self-scaling quasi-Newton (DFP) method for unconstrained optimization using logistic mapping. We shoe that it produces a positive definite matrix.

Quasi-Newton Methods for Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The performance of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods is often sensitive to the scaling and correlations between the random variables of interest. An important source of information about the local correlation and scale is given by the Hessian matrix of ...
