The Capital Structure of Microfinance Borrowers: A Dynamic Market Segmentation Analysis
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper studies the capital structure of businesses supported by microcredit based on the pecking order theory (POT) using dynamic market segmentation. It analyses secondary data on the Crediamigo program. Then it estimates latent class Markov models to perform a dynamic segmentation of the customers.

Knowledge Gradient Procedure to Select the Best System Under Pairwise Comparisons
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article considers fixed‐budget ranking and selection (R&S) problems where the performance of alternative designs can only be assessed through pairwise comparisons, a setting encountered in many applications, including player ranking in games, sports tournaments, recommender systems, image‐based search, public choice models such as voting ...

Precedence‐Constrained Shortest Path
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a variant of the shortest path problem where the order in which vertices occur in the path is subject to precedence constraints. Precedence constraints are defined in terms of vertex pairs (a,b)$$ \left(a,b\right) $$ which indicate that a vertex a$$ a $$ is the predecessor of a vertex b$$ b $$.

Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Minimum Path Cover (MPC) problem consists of finding a minimum‐cardinality set of node‐disjoint paths that cover all nodes in a given graph. We explore a variant of the MPC problem on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) where, given a subset of arcs, each path within the MPC should contain at least one arc from this subset.

Case Studies of Orphan Domain Reclassification in ECOD by Expert Curation
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Homology‐based protein domain classification is a powerful tool for gaining biological insights into protein function. This classification process has been significantly enhanced by the availability of experimental structures and high‐accuracy structural models generated by advanced tools such as AlphaFold.

Matroidal Structure of Rough Sets Based on Serial and Transitive Relations
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2012 The theory of rough sets is concerned with the lower and upper approximations of objects through a binary relation on a universe. It has been applied to machine learning, knowledge discovery, and data mining. The theory of matroids is a generalization of
