While the output of a team is evident, the productivity of each team member is typically not readily identifiable. In this paper we consider the problem of measuring the productivity of team members. We propose a new concept of coworker productivity, which we refer to as eigenvalue productivity (EVP). We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of our concept and show that it possesses several desirable properties. Also, we suggest a procedure for specifying the required productivity matrix of a team, and illustrate the operational practicability of EVP by means of three examples representing different types of available data.

Multi-view learning aims on learning from the data represented by multiple distinct feature sets. Various multi-view support vector machine methods have been successfully applied to classification tasks. However, the existed methods often face the problems of long processing time or weak generalization on some complex datasets.

Using genetic data to infer evolutionary distances between molecular sequence pairs based on a Markov substitution model is a common procedure in phylogenetics, in particular for selecting a good starting tree to improve upon. Many evolutionary patterns can be accurately modelled using substitution models that are available in closed form, including the popular general time reversible model (GTR) for DNA data. For more complex biological phenomena, such as variations in lineage-specific evolutionary rates over time (heterotachy), other approaches such as the GTR with rate variation (GTR ) are required, but do not admit analytical solutions and do not automatically allow for likelihood calculations crucial for Bayesian analysis.

A classical observation in experimental psychology is a reduction in reaction time and response accuracy under time pressure (TP). This speed-accuracy tradeoff may be understood from the combined perspectives of affordance competition and urgency gating. This view implies that action programs compete with each other from stimulus onset until the final response.

Modeling dispersion of circumferential waves in underwater targets with spectral methods.

National Key Laboratory of Underwater Acoustic Technology, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China.

The dispersion of circumferential waves propagating around cylindrical and spherical underwater targets with an arbitrary number of elastic and fluid layers is modeled using the spectral collocation method. The underlying differential equations are discretized by Chebyshev interpolation and the corresponding differentiation matrices, and the calculation of the dispersion curves is transformed into a generalized eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, for targets in infinite fluid, the perfect matched layer is used to emulate the Sommerfeld radiation condition.

This study explores the intricate dynamics of volatility within high-frequency financial markets, focusing on 225 of Chinese listed companies from 2016 to 2023. Utilizing 5-minute high-frequency data, we analyze the realized volatility of individual stocks across six distinct time scales: 5-minute, 10-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour intervals. Our investigation reveals a consistent power law decay in the auto-correlation function of realized volatility across all time scales.
