Reference Points and Effort Provision [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 A key open question for theories of reference-dependent preferences is: what determines the reference point? One candidate is expectations: what people expect could affect how they feel about what actually occurs. In a real-effort experiment, we manipulate the rational expectations of subjects and check whether this manipulation influences their ...

Reference Point Hyperplane Trees [PDF]
, 2016 We make the simple observation that, the deeper a data item is within the tree, the higher the probability of that item being excluded from a search. Assuming a fixed and independent probability p of any subtree being excluded at query time, the probability of an individual data item being accessed is (1-p)d for a node at depth d.

Matching shapes with a reference point [PDF]
Proceedings of the tenth annual symposium on Computational geometry - SCG '94, 1994 For two given point sets, we present a very simple (almost trivial) algorithm to translate one set so that the Hausdorff distance between the two sets is not larger than a constant factor times the minimum Hausdorff distance which can be achieved in this way. The algorithm just matches the so-called Steiner points of the two sets.

Personal bests as reference points [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Personal bests act as reference points. Examining 133 million chess games, we find that players exert effort to set new personal best ratings and quit once they have done so. Although specific and difficult goals have been shown to inspire greater motivation than vague pronouncements to “do your best,” doing one’s best can be a specific and difficult ...

Online Tracking of Small-Signal Stability Rightmost Eigenvalue Based on Reference Point
IEEE Access, 2023 Machine learning technologies have been applied to improve the real-time performance of small-signal stability assessment, while achieving a high accuracy requires numerous samples, and model performance may degrade if not updated over time. Furthermore,

An objective multi-criteria approach to optimization using MOORA method and interval grey numbers
Technological and Economic Development of Economy, 2012 Many real-world problems are complex and/or related to the manifestation of some form of uncertainty and/or prediction. Therefore the use of extended MCDM methods is more appropriate than the use of the other classic decision making methods.
