  1. 11. Rewards to skill supply, skill demand and skill match-mismatch: Studies using the Adult Literacy and Lifeskills survey

    Författare :Richard Desjardins; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; skill mismatch; Education mismatch; overeducation; skill use; adult literacy; adult education; segmentation theory;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a collection of three independent but closely related studies. The focus is on the potential causes of skill mismatch, the extent of skill mismatch, the socio-demographic make-up of skill mismatch, and the consequences of skill mismatch in terms of earnings as well as employer sponsored adult education/training.

  3. 12. Structured Stochastic Bandits

    Författare :Stefan Magureanu; Alexandre Proutiere; Emilie Kaufmann; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-armed bandits; Learning to rank; reinforcement learning; Lipschitz Bandits; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we address the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem with stochastic rewards and correlated arms. Particularly, we investigate the case when the expected rewards are a Lipschitz function of the arm, and the learning to rank problem, as viewed from a MAB perspective. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Efficient Online Learning under Bandit Feedback

    Författare :Stefan Magureanu; Alexandre Proutiere; Odalric-Ambrym Maillard; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multi-armed bandits; reinforcement learning; learning to rank; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we address the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem with stochastic rewards and correlated arms. Particularly, we investigate the case when the expected rewards are a Lipschitz function of the arm and extend these results to bandits with arbitrary structure that is known to the decision maker.

  5. 14. Investigating anticipatory behaviours in lambs

    Författare :Claes Anderson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Many animals kept by humans receive cues that predict future events for example food or being let out. The interval between cue and future event may however be delayed. In the best of worlds, animals may not experience such waiting as negative and it is even suggested that the anticipation following such cues is experienced as pleasurable. LÄS MER

  7. 15. On the Value of Customer Loyalty Programs - A Study of Point Programs and Switching Costs

    Författare :Henrik Sällberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; loyalty programs; point programs; switching costs; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem;

    Sammanfattning : The increased prevalence of customer loyalty programs has been followed by an increased academic interest in schemes. This is partly because the Internet has made competition 'one click away'. It is also because information technology has made it more economical for firms to collect customer information by way of loyalty programs. LÄS MER
