In this paper, we apply a three-stage-DEA model to the Spanish Professional Football League, which means separating the teams’
economic behaviour into three components: operating efficiency—of the offence and defence—athletic or operating effectiveness,
and social effectiveness. The results showed that the technical inefficiency of the defence is greater than that of the offence,
both being caused by aspects linked to the poor management of players’ abilities and by the football team’s size. Teams showed
a favourable evolution of their offensive and defensive efficiency during the 2004/2005 season and to a lesser extent in the
season before. The point system assigned by the professional football league regulations evaluates the teams’ athletic effectiveness,
but we detected that the teams with the most experience perform athletically in a more effective manner. Their social effectiveness
is strongly related to the level of play in itself and to factors linked to their PFL ranking: participation in international
competitions for important football teams; or the struggle of minor football teams to stay in the first division. 相似文献
Stochastic models with varying degrees of complexity are increasingly widespread in the oceanic and atmospheric sciences. One application is data assimilation, i.e., the combination of model output with observations to form the best picture of the system under study. For any given quantity to be estimated, the relative weights of the model and the data will be adjusted according to estimated model and data error statistics, so implementation of any data assimilation scheme will require some assumption about errors, which are considered to be random. For dynamical models, some assumption about the evolution of errors will be needed. Stochastic models are also applied in studies of predictability.
The formal theory of stochastic processes was well developed in the last half of the twentieth century. One consequence of this theory is that methods of simulation of deterministic processes cannot be applied to random processes without some modification. In some cases the rules of ordinary calculus must be modified.
The formal theory was developed in terms of mathematical formalism that may be unfamiliar to many oceanic and atmospheric scientists. The purpose of this article is to provide an informal introduction to the relevant theory, and to point out those situations in which that theory must be applied in order to model random processes correctly. 相似文献
In this paper, an adaptive FE analysis is presented based on error estimation, adaptive mesh refinement and data transfer for enriched plasticity continua in the modelling of strain localization. As the classical continuum models suffer from pathological mesh-dependence in the strain softening models, the governing equations are regularized by adding rotational degrees-of-freedom to the conventional degrees-of-freedom. Adaptive strategy using element elongation is applied to compute the distribution of required element size using the estimated error distribution. Once a new mesh is generated, state variables and history-dependent variables are mapped from the old finite element mesh to the new one. In order to transfer the history-dependent variables from the old to new mesh, the values of internal variables available at Gauss point are first projected at nodes of old mesh, then the values of the old nodes are transferred to the nodes of new mesh and finally, the values at Gauss points of new elements are determined with respect to nodal values of the new mesh. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed model and computational algorithms is demonstrated by several numerical examples. 相似文献
We consider the problem of maintaining a dynamic ordered set of n integers in a universe U under the operations of insertion, deletion and predecessor queries. The computation model used is a unit-cost RAM, with a word length of w bits, and the universe size is |U|=2w. We present a data structure that uses O(|U|/log|U|+n) space, performs all the operations in O(loglog|U|) time and needs O(loglog|U|/logloglog|U|) structural changes per update operation. The data structure is a simplified version of the van Emde Boas' tree introducing, in its construction and functioning, new concepts, which help to keep the important information for searching along the path of the tree, in a more compact and organized way. 相似文献
Reduction of the representation of infrared spectra from coal samples by osculating polynomials of degree nine is discussed. The reduced representation contains polynomial coefficients of order zero to four. Mathematical models of the original spectra are obtained by linear combination of the coefficients. These compressed models are statistically correlated to coal properties, namely, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, heating value, hydrogen, carbon, sulphur, nitrogen, and maximum vitrinite reflectance, and the results are compared with those previously obtained from second derivatives of the same spectra. The use of compressed data, while giving slightly better correlations for some of the properties, has the advantage of requiring less computational time. 相似文献
In this paper various ensemble learning methods from machine learning and statistics are considered and applied to the customer choice modeling problem. The application of ensemble learning usually improves the prediction quality of flexible models like decision trees and thus leads to improved predictions. We give experimental results for two real-life marketing datasets using decision trees, ensemble versions of decision trees and the logistic regression model, which is a standard approach for this problem. The ensemble models are found to improve upon individual decision trees and outperform logistic regression. 相似文献
This paper examines the performance of Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) using fixed and variable benchmarking models. In
order to avoid the troublesome passive and active commodity and managed futures benchmarks (indices) when examining the performance
of CTAs, we innovate by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). Because this alternative class has non-linear returns due to
long/short positions, and derivatives (i.e., dynamic trading strategies), DEA can alleviate the problems usually associated
with these indices. The effectiveness of using benchmarking models in a DEA setting will provide investors with an alternative
technique in assessing the performance and identifying efficient CTAs. 相似文献
Preparation and Molecular Structures of Oligofunctional Dirhenium Carbonyl Derivatives from Dirhenium Nonacarbonylphosphane Starting with dirheniumdecacarbonyl, one CO-Ligand was eliminated oxidatively and substituted by the labile acetonitrile ligand. As an intermediate eq-Re2(CO)9NCCH3 was received. The reaction of this labilised carbonyl with tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine and subsequent methanolysis gave ax-Re2(CO)9PH3, which was isolated and characterized for the first time. Photochemical and thermal reaction of ax-Re2(CO)9PH3 led to the new bi- and trinuclear complexes Re2(μ-H)(μ3-PHRe(CO)5)(CO)8, Re2(μ-PH2)2(CO)8 and Re2(μ-H) · (μ-PH2)(CO)8, which were characterized by IR-, 1H- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy. The structures of ax-Re2(CO)9PH3, Re2(μ-H)(μ3-PHRe(CO)5)(CO)8 and Re2(μ-PH2)2(CO)8 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. ax-Re2(CO)9PH3 has a very short Re? P bond length of 228(2) pm. 相似文献
