Perturbations in Dairy Cows: Impact of Heat Stress, Lameness, and Mastitis on Milk Yield and Feeding Behavior [PDF]
Dairy cows typically respond to stressors by altering their behavior, such as reducing eating time (ET) and rumination time (RT). Although declines in milk yield (MY) have been extensively studied, models to quantify perturbations in ET and RT are still ...

Income Smoothing and Consumption Smoothing [PDF]
One way that risk-averse households protect consumption levels is to borrow and use insurance mechanisms. Another way, common in low-income economies, is to diversify economic activities and make conservative production and employment choices. Households thus tend toward limiting exposure only to shocks that can be handled with available credit and ...

Nesterov Smoothing for Sampling Without Smoothness
We study the problem of sampling from a target distribution in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose potential is not smooth. Compared with the sampling problem with smooth potentials, this problem is much less well-understood due to the lack of smoothness. In this paper, we propose a novel sampling algorithm for a class of non-smooth potentials by first approximating ...

Waved aCGH: to smooth or not to smooth [PDF]
Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a powerful tool to detect genomic imbalances in the human genome. The analysis of aCGH data sets has revealed the existence of a widespread technical artifact termed as 'waves', characterized by an undulating data profile along the chromosome.

An Empirical Study of Smoothing Techniques for Language Modeling [PDF]
We present an extensive empirical comparison of several smoothing techniques in the domain of language modeling, including those described by Jelinek and Mercer (1980), Katz (1987), and Church and Gale (1991).
