Game-theoretic models for mergers and acquisitions by Van den Honert, Robin Charles

“…The resulting two-person game bimatrix is analysed to offer general insights into negotiated outcomes, and using conventional game-theoretic and Bayesian approaches to identify "optimal" strategies for each of the players. It is shown that for the purposes of identifying optimal negotiating strategies, the players strategies (described by parameters which are continuous in nature) can be adequately approximated by a sparse grid of discrete strategies, providing that these discrete strategies are chosen so as to achieve an even spread across the set of continuous strategies. …”

Quantifying texture for acid rock drainage characterisation and prediction by Guseva, Olga

“…When considering texture as a parameter for ARD assessment, the potential for sampling and mineralogical errors arose due to the coarse material size (specifically on the meso-scale) and the limitations on the number of particles that could be assessed. …”

Diagnosis and prognosis of rolling element bearings at low speeds and varying load conditions using higher order statistics and artificial intelligence

“…Empirical models include the fields of regression and classification which are also collectively referred to as supervised learning and is dependent on its construction or optimization on large sets of representative data. In classifying faults in rolling element bearings (REBs) at low speeds and under varying load conditions, support vector machines for regression and genetic algorithm (SVMGA) which is a supervised machine learning algorithm can be used for its classification or regression problems. …”
