TL;DR: The procedural variations that lead to undermatching appear to be those that produce (a) asymmetrical pausing that favors the poorer alternative; (b) systematic temporal variation in preference that Favorites 1 and 2; and (c) patterns of responding that involve changing over between alternatives or brief bouts at the alternatives.
Abstract: Almost all of 103 sets of data from 23 different studies of choice conformed closely to the equation: log (B(1)/B(2)) = a log (r(1)/r(2)) + log b, where B(1) and B(2) are either numbers of responses or times spent at Alternatives 1 and 2, r(1) and r(2) are the rates of reinforcement obtained from Alternatives 1 and 2, and a and b are empirical constants. Although the matching relation requires the slope a to equal 1.0, the best-fitting values of a frequently deviated from this. For B(1) and B(2) measured as numbers of responses, a tended to fall short of 1.0 (undermatching). For B(1) and B(2) measured as times, a fell to both sides of 1.0, with the largest mode at about 1.0. Those experiments that produced values of a for both responses and time revealed only a rough correspondence between the two values; a was often noticeably larger for time. Statistical techniques for assessing significance of a deviation of a from 1.0 suggested that values of a between .90 and 1.11 can be considered good approximations to matching. Of the two experimenters who contributed the most data, one generally found undermatching, while the other generally found matching. The difference in results probably arises from differences in procedure. The procedural variations that lead to undermatching appear to be those that produce (a) asymmetrical pausing that favors the poorer alternative; (b) systematic temporal variation in preference that favors the poorer alternative; and (c) patterns of responding that involve changing over between alternatives or brief bouts at the alternatives.

TL;DR: In this article, the HWM90 thermospheric wind model has been revised in the lower thermosphere and extended into the mesosphere, stratosphere and lower atmosphere to provide a single analytic model for calculating zonal and meridional wind profiles representative of the climatological average for various geophysical conditions.

01 Feb 2011TL;DR: Two advanced data mining approaches, support vector machines and random forests, together with the well-known logistic regression, are evaluated as part of an attempt to better detect (and thus control and prosecute) credit card fraud.
Abstract: Credit card fraud is a serious and growing problem. While predictive models for credit card fraud detection are in active use in practice, reported studies on the use of data mining approaches for credit card fraud detection are relatively few, possibly due to the lack of available data for research. This paper evaluates two advanced data mining approaches, support vector machines and random forests, together with the well-known logistic regression, as part of an attempt to better detect (and thus control and prosecute) credit card fraud. The study is based on real-life data of transactions from an international credit card operation.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that soluble phenolics that do not inhibit digestion but are absorbed and reduce intake through their toxicity are more important in defending some plant parts against ruminants than are digestion-reducing tannins.
Abstract: We tested the hypothesis that tannins defend plants against large herbivores by decreasing protein availability. Digestion trials were conducted with mule deer (Odo- coileus hemionus) and results from previous trials with white-tailed deer (O. virginianus), moose (Alces alces), caribou/reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) were summarized to evaluate dietary factors affecting protein availability. The digestibility of plant protein in feeds with minimal tannins, such as grasses and agriculturally produced legumes and grains, was a highly predictable function of the total protein content and the amount of nondigestible, fiber-bound protein. Digestible protein in plants containing sig? nificant tannins was lower than predicted from regressions for low-tannin feeds. The re? duction in digestible protein was proportional to the protein-precipitating capacity of the plant tannins. Deciduous browse stems collected in winter had very low levels of protein- precipitating tannins and only a slightly lower protein availability than predicted. Tannins are not important in the defense of most deciduous tree and shrub stems consumed by these herbivores. Tannins in flowers and forb, tree, and shrub leaves markedly reduced protein availability. Tannins must be considered in understanding the defensive strategies of leaves and flowers. Voluntary intake of the high-phenolic forages was significantly re? duced below ingestion rates for grasses, legumes, and pelleted diets. It is hypothesized that soluble phenolics that do not inhibit digestion but are absorbed and reduce intake through their toxicity are more important in defending some plant parts against ruminants than are digestion-reducing tannins.
