Ranking friends [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2012
We investigate the scope for cooperation within a community engaged in repeated reciprocal interactions. Players seek the help of others and approach them sequentially according to some fixed order, that is, a ranking profile. We study the ranking profiles that are most effective in sustaining cooperation in equilibrium, that is, profiles that support ...

When does rank( ABC ) = rank( AB ) + rank( BC ) - rank( B ) hold?

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
The well-known Frobenius rank inequality established by Frobenius in 1911 states that the rank of the product ABC of three matrices satisfies the inequality rank(ABC) U rank(AB) + rank(BC)- rank(B) A new necessary and sufficient condition for equality to hold is presented and then some interesting consequences and applications are discussed.

Ranking Rank Behaviors

Business & Society, 1999
Using ethical theory often applied by business ethicists, this article develops a threshold definition of honesty that incorporates specific situational factors (act, actor, person affected, intention, and result) in the definition: Dishonesty occurs when a responsible actor voluntarily and intentionally violates some convention of the transfer of ...

Rankings and Ranking Functions

Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1981
Suppose that n competitors compete in r races and in each race they are awarded placings l, 2, 3, …, n – 1, n. After the r races each competitor has a result consisting of his r placings. Let such a result be written (αj)1≦j≦r where for convenience the positive integers αj are arranged in ascending order.

Ranking Games [PDF]

open access: possibleEvaluation Review, 2014
Background: Research rankings based on bibliometrics today dominate governance in academia and determine careers in universities. Method: Analytical approach to capture the incentives by users of rankings and by suppliers of rankings, both on an individual and an aggregate level. Result: Rankings may produce unintended negative side effects.

Ranking Saliency

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2017
Most existing bottom-up algorithms measure the foreground saliency of a pixel or region based on its contrast within a local context or the entire image, whereas a few methods focus on segmenting out background regions and thereby salient objects.

RANK ligand

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2007
RANK ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of bone resorption in normal and pathological states, is expressed as membrane-bound or soluble forms by tissues as diverse as lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and bone-forming cells. In normal bone turnover and in bone metastasis, RANKL stimulates the formation and activity of bone-removing cells, osteoclasts, by binding

Rank clocks

Nature, 2006
Many objects and events, such as cities, firms and internet hubs, scale with size in the upper tails of their distributions. Despite intense interest in using power laws to characterize such distributions, most analyses have been concerned with observations at a single instant of time, with little analysis of objects or events that change in size ...

Rank Degeneracy

SIAM Journal on Scientific and Statistical Computing, 1984
The paper surveys some of the more commonly used methods for approximating the rank of a matrix X, with particular attention to the effects of errors. It is supposed that X itself cannot be observed and only a perturbed matrix \(X=X+E\) is given.

T-Rank: Time-Aware Authority Ranking

2004
Analyzing the link structure of the web for deriving a page’s authority and implied importance has deeply affected the way information providers create and link content, the ranking in web search engines, and the users’ access behavior. Due to the enormous dynamics of the web, with millions of pages created, updated, deleted, and linked to every day ...
