Market Madness? The Case of Mad Money
Creators: name: Engelberg, Joseph

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: We study the market's reaction to Jim Cramer's recommendations on the television show Mad Money. Average abnormal overnight returns following his recommendations are over 3% for the entire sample, and 6.7% for stocks in the smallest quintile. Using a novel dataset of television viewership, we  nd that the price response is increasing in the number of wealthy viewers who watch the show but unaffected by the number of low income households viewing the recommendations. Consistent with theories of limits to arbitrage, we  nd that the overnight return is strongest for stocks with high idiosyncratic volatility. Using data from an ECN, we show that the market's response to the recommendations is immediate even though the show airs after the NYSE's trading hours. These price spikes are followed by partial reversals, and short-selling is signi cantly higher than normal on the day following the recommendations. Equity lending rates are higher in the days following the recommendations, especially for stocks with the largest overnight returns, suggesting that short-selling does not completely eliminate the mispricing in part because it is costly for short-sellers to do so.

description: Tree-level moduli stabilization via geometric and non-geometric fluxes in type IIB orientifolds on Calabi-Yau manifolds is investigated. The focus is on stable non-supersymmetric minima, where all moduli are fixed except for some massless axions. The scenario includes the purely axionic orientifold-odd moduli. A set of vacua allowing for parametric control over the moduli vacuum expectation values and their masses is presented, featuring a specific scaling with the fluxes. Uplift mechanisms and supersymmetry breaking soft masses on MSSM-like D7-branes are discussed as well. This scenario provides a complete effective framework for realizing the idea of F-term axion monodromy inflation in string theory. It is argued that, with all masses close to the Planck and GUT scales, one is confronted with working at the threshold of controlling all mass hierarchies.

Creators: name: Mamalis, Dimitrios
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: total synthesis, ring expansion, ketone homologation, natural products.

description: Medium sized cyclic ethers are found in many natural products, with the most notable example being the polyether polycyclic family of marine toxins. Due to their increased size loss of entropy, torsional strain and unfavourable transannular interactions, as well as other effects require different synthetic approaches than the smaller homologues. In this work, different pathways were explored for the efficient synthesis of the seven-, eight- and nine- membered rings of marine polyether polycyclic natural products, through the expansion of a common six-membered ether substrate. The effect of the Lewis acid promoted TMS-diazomethane ring expansion of cyclic ketones was investigated and was successfully applied for the efficient synthesis of the oxepane and oxocane ring systems. Furthemore, a [2+2] cycloaddition between a seven-membered cyclic silyl enol ether and ethyl propiolate was examined for the concise formation of nine-membered cyclic ethers from an easily accessible substrate.

description: Let $X$ be a finite CW complex, and let $DX$ be its dual in the category of spectra. We demonstrate that the Poincaré/Koszul duality between $THH(DX)$ and the free loop space $Σ^\infty_+ LX$ is in fact a genuinely $S^1$-equivariant duality that preserves the $C_n$-fixed points. Our proof uses an elementary but surprisingly useful rigidity theorem for the geometric fixed point functor $Φ^G$ of orthogonal $G$-spectra.

Interday Forecasting and Intraday Updating of Call Center Arrivals

name: Huang, Jianhua Z.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Accurate forecasting of call arrivals is critical for stang and scheduling of a telephone call center. We develop methods for interday and dynamic intraday forecasting of incoming call volumes. Our approach is to treat the intraday call volume pro les as a highdimensional vector time series. We propose to  rst reduce the dimensionality by singular value decomposition of the matrix of historical intraday pro les and then apply time series and regression techniques. Both interday (or day-to-day) dynamics and intraday (or withinday) patterns of call arrivals are taken into account by our approach. Distributional forecasts are also developed. The proposed methods are data-driven, and appear to be robust against model assumptions in our simulation studies. They are shown to be very competitive in out-of-sample forecast comparisons using two real data sets. Our methods are computationally fast and therefore it is feasible to use them for real-time dynamic forecasting.

description: We present observations of pseudobulges in S0 and spiral galaxies using imaging data taken with the Spitzer Infra-Red Array Camera. We have used 2-d bulge-disk-bar decomposition to determine structural parameters of 185 S0 galaxies and 31 nearby spiral galaxies. Using the Sersic index and the position on the Kormendy diagram to classify their bulges as either classical or pseudo, we find that 25 S0s (14%) and 24 spirals (77%) host pseudoblges. The fraction of pseudobulges we find in spiral galaxies is consistent with previous results obtained with optical data and show that the evolution of a large fraction of spirals is governed by secular processes rather than by major mergers. We find that the bulge effective radius is correlated with the disk scale length for pseudobulges of S0s and spirals, as expected for secular formation of bulges from disk instabilities, though the disks in S0s are significantly smaller than those in spirals. We show that early-type pseudobulge hosting spirals can transform to pseudobulge hosting S0s by simple gas stripping. However, simple gas stripping mechanism is not sufficient to transform the late-type pseudobulge hosting spirals into pseudobulge hosting S0s.

The Relationship Between Abnormal Inventory Growth and Future Earnings for U.S. Public Retailers

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: In this paper we examine the relationship between inventory levels and one-year ahead earnings of retailers using publicly available financial data. We use benchmarking metrics obtained from operations management literature to demonstrate an inverted-U relationship between abnormal inventory growth and one-year ahead earnings per share for retailers. We also find that equity analysts do not fully incorporate the information contained in abnormal inventory growth of retailers in their earnings forecasts resulting in systematic biases. Finally, we show that an investment strategy based on abnormal inventory growth yields abnormal returns of 11.8% (p<0.001).

description: Many applications involve estimation of a signal matrix from a noisy data matrix. In such cases, it has been observed that estimators that shrink or truncate the singular values of the data matrix perform well when the signal matrix has approximately low rank. In this article, we generalize this approach to the estimation of a tensor of parameters from noisy tensor data. We develop new classes of estimators that shrink or threshold the mode-specific singular values from the higher-order singular value decomposition. These classes of estimators are indexed by tuning parameters, which we adaptively choose from the data by minimizing Stein's unbiased risk estimate. In particular, this procedure provides a way to estimate the multilinear rank of the underlying signal tensor. Using simulation studies under a variety of conditions, we show that our estimators perform well when the mean tensor has approximately low multilinear rank, and perform competitively when the signal tensor does not have approximately low multilinear rank. We illustrate the use of these methods in an application to multivariate relational data.

description: It is shown that Starobinsky-like potentials can be realized in non-geometric flux compactifications of string theory, where the inflaton involves an axion whose shift symmetry can protect UV-corrections to the scalar potential. For that purpose we evaluate the backreacted, uplifted F-term axion-monodromy potential, which interpolates between a quadratic and a Starobinsky-like form. Limitations due to the requirements of having a controlled approximation of the UV theory and of realizing single-field inflation are discussed.

description: Rare earth element (REE) analyses were performed on 77 water samples and 5 sediment samples from the Indian River Lagoon system along the east coast of Florida. Groundwater samples were collected using nine multi-level piezometers installed along a shore-normal transect of the sandy subterranean estuary. Surface water samples were collected from Eau Gallie River and Crane Creek, the water column of the Indian River Lagoon above each piezometer, and the coastal Atlantic Ocean at Canova Beach. The REE concentrations of lagoon surface and subterranean estuary waters indicate that geochemical reactions within the subterranean estuary play a substantial role in the local REE cycle. The submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) flux of REEs calculated by using a modified form of the 1-dimensonal vertical-flow equation is comprised of a nearshore heavy REE (HREE) enriched advective source chiefly composed of terrestrial SGD, and a light REE (LREE) and middle REE (MREE) enriched source that originates from reductive dissolution of Fe(III) oxides/oxyhydroxides in the subterranean estuary and subsequent transport by bioirrigation to the overlying lagoon. The total SGD flux of REEs reveals that this sandy subterranean estuary is a source for light and middle REEs and a sink for the heavy REEs to coastal waters. The SGD Nd flux is estimated at 7.69 ± 1.02 mmol day-1, which is roughly equivalent to the effective local river flux to the Indian River Lagoon. Although our re-evaluated SGD flux of Nd to the Indian River Lagoon is lower than an earlier estimate, it represents a substantial input to the coastal ocean and thus provides additional insights into the global oceanic Nd budget and the “Nd Paradox”.

Intra- and Interformat Competition Among Discounters and Supermarkets

description: The price-aggressive discount format, popularized by chains such as Aldi and Lidl, is very successful in most Western economies. Its success is a major source of concern for traditional supermarkets. Discounters not only have a direct effect on supermarkets’ market shares, they also exert considerable pressure to improve operational efficiency and/or to decrease prices. We use an empirical entry model to study the degree of intra- and inter-format competition between discounters and supermarkets. Information on the competitive impact of new entrants is derived from the observed entry decisions of supermarkets and discounters in a large cross-section of local markets, after controlling for a number of local market characteristics. In our modeling framework, we endogenize the retailers’ entry decisions, and allow for asymmetric intra- and inter-format competitive effects in a flexible way. We apply our modeling approach to the German grocery industry, where the discount format has stabilized after two decades of continued growth. We find evidence of intense competition within both the supermarket and discounter format, although competition between supermarkets is found to be more severe. Most importantly, discounters only start to affect the profitability of conventional supermarkets from the third entrant onwards. This may explain why many retailers rush to add a discount chain to their portfolio: early entrants may benefit from the growth of the discount-prone segment without cannibalizing the profits of their more conventional supermarket stores.

description: We report detections of new exoplanets from a radial velocity (RV) survey of metal-rich FGK stars by using three telescopes. By optimizing our RV analysis method to long time-baseline observations, we have succeeded in detecting five new Jovian-planets around three metal-rich stars HD 1605, HD 1666, and HD 67087 with the masses of $1.3 M_{\odot}$, $1.5 M_{\odot}$, and $1.4 M_{\odot}$, respectively. A K1 subgiant star HD 1605 hosts two planetary companions with the minimum masses of $ M_p \sin i = 0.96 M_{\mathrm{JUP}}$ and $3.5 M_{\mathrm{JUP}}$ in circular orbits with the planets' periods $P = 577.9$ days and $2111$ days, respectively. HD 1605 shows a significant linear trend in RVs. Such a system consisting of Jovian planets in circular orbits has rarely been found and thus HD 1605 should be an important example of a multi-planetary system that is likely unperturbed by planet-planet interactions. HD 1666 is a F7 main sequence star which hosts an eccentric and massive planet of $ M_p \sin i = 6.4 M_{\mathrm{JUP}}$ in the orbit with $a_{\rm p} = 0.94$ AU and an eccentricity $e=0.63$. Such an eccentric and massive planet can be explained as a result of planet-planet interactions among Jovian planets. While we have found the large residuals of $\mathrm{rms} = 35.6\ \mathrm{m\ s^{-1}}$, the periodogram analysis does not support any additional periodicities. Finally, HD 67087 hosts two planets of $ M_p \sin i = 3.1 M_{\mathrm{JUP}}$ and $4.9 M_{\mathrm{JUP}}$ in orbits with $P=352.2$ days and $2374$ days, and $e=0.17$ and $0.76$, respectively. Although the current RVs do not lead to accurate determinations of its orbit and mass, HD 67087 c can be one of the most eccentric planets ever discovered in multiple systems.

description: Around 60 Australian women and children are reported to be living in Syrian detention camps, most of them children under six years of age. This week, the federal government announced plans to rescue these Australians – family members of slain or jailed Islamic State combatants – from the camps and repatriate them.

UNICEF says these and hundreds of other children in the camps are “critically vulnerable and in urgent need of protection”, without basics including warm clothes, hygiene, health, education and food.

The time spent in the Syrian detention camps will have affected these children differently depending on their age and stage of development. Their experiences will likely affect their lifelong health and well-being. What is needed to address the trauma experienced during their stay and the challenges they will face following repatriation? How can we help?

description: The binary system eta Carinae has completed its first 5.54y orbit since the beginning of science operation of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). We are now able to investigate the high-energy gamma-ray source at the position of eta Carinae over its full orbital period. By this, we can address and confirm earlier predictions for temporal and spectral variability. Newer versions of the LAT datasets, instrument response functions and background models allow for a more accurate analysis. Therefore it is important to re-evaluate the previously analyzed time period along with the new data to further constrain location, spectral shape, and flux time history of the gamma-ray source. We confirm earlier predictions of increasing flux values above 10 GeV toward the next periastron passage. For the most recent part of the data sample, flux values as high as those before the first periastron passage in 2008 are recorded. A comparison of spectral energy distributions around periastron and apastron passages reveals strong variation in the high-energy band. This is due to a second spectral component that is present only around periastron. Improved spatial consistency with the gamma-ray source at the position of eta Carinae along with the confirmation of temporal variability above 10 GeV in conjunction with the orbital period strengthens the argument for unambiguous source identification. Spectral variability provides additional constraints for future modeling of the particle acceleration and gamma-ray emission in colliding-wind binary systems.

The Relationship Between DTCA, Drug Requests, and Prescriptions: Uncovering Variation in Specialty and Space

description: Patients increasingly request their physicians to prescribe specific brands of pharmaceutical drugs. Popular belief is that requests are triggered by direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA). We examine the relationship between DTCA, patient requests and prescriptions for statins. We find that while the effect of requests on prescriptions is significantly positive, the mean effect of DTCA on patient requests is negative, yet very small. More interestingly, both effects show substantial heterogeneity across physicians, which we uncover, using a hierarchical Bayes estimation procedure. We find that specialists receive more requests than primary care physicians but translate them less into prescriptions. In addition, we find that the socio-demographic profile of the area a physician practices in moderates the effects of DTCA on requests and of requests on prescriptions. For instance, physicians from areas with a higher proportion of minorities (i.e., Blacks and Hispanics) receive more requests, which are less triggered by DTCA, and are transferred into fewer prescriptions, than physicians from areas with a lower proportion of minorities. Our results challenge managers to revisit the role of DTCA in stimulating patient requests. At the same time, they may trigger public policy concerns regarding physicians’ accommodation of patient requests and the inequalities they may induce.

description: We investigate the power spectra of outflow-driven turbulence through high-resolution three-dimensional isothermal numerical simulations where the turbulence is driven locally in real-space by a simple spherical outflow model. The resulting turbulent flow saturates at an average Mach number of ~2.5 and is analysed through density and velocity power spectra, including an investigation of the evolution of the solenoidal and compressional components. We obtain a shallow density power spectrum with a slope of ~-1.2 attributed to the presence of a network of localised dense filamentary structures formed by strong shock interactions. The total velocity power spectrum slope is found to be ~-2.0, representative of Burgers shock dominated turbulence model. The density weighted velocity power spectrum slope is measured as ~-1.6, slightly less than the expected Kolmogorov scaling value (slope of -5/3) found in previous works. The discrepancy may be caused by the nature of our real space driving model and we suggest there is no universal scaling law for supersonic compressible turbulence. We find that on average, solenoidal modes slightly dominate in our turbulence model as the interaction between strong curved compressible shocks generates solenoidal modes, and compressible modes decay faster.

description: This paper provides a deeper study of the Hardy and $\rm BMO$ spaces associated to the Neumann Laplacian $Δ_N$. For the Hardy space $H^1_{Δ_N}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (which is a proper subspace of the classical Hardy space $H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$) we demonstrate that the space has equivalent norms in terms of Riesz transforms, maximal functions, atomic decompositions, and weak factorizations. While for the space ${\rm BMO}_{Δ_N}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (which contains the classical $\rm BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)$) we prove that it can be characterized in terms of the action of the Riesz transforms associated to the Neumann Laplacian on $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ functions and in terms of the behavior of the commutator with the Riesz transforms. The results obtained extend many of the fundamental results known for $H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\rm BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)$.

Asymptotic properties of random subsets of projective spaces
Creators: name: Oxley, James
name: Kelly, Douglas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1982

description: A random graph on n vertices is a random subgraph of the complete graph on n vertices. By analogy with this, the present paper studies the asymptotic properties of a random submatroid ωr of the projective geometry PG(r— 1, q). The main result concerns Kr, the rank of the largest projective geometry occurring as a submatroid of ωr. We show that with probability one, for sufficiently large r, Krtakes one of at most two values depending on r. This theorem is analogous to a result of Bollobás and Erdös on the clique number of a random graph. However, whereas from the matroid theorem one can essentially determine the critical exponent of ωr the graph theorem gives only a lower bound on the chromatic number of a random graph.

description: The Euler graph has vertices labelled (n, k) for n = 0, 1, 2, ... and k = 0, 1, ..., n, with k + 1 edges from (n, k) to (n + 1, k) and n − k + 1 edges from (n, k) to (n + 1, k + 1). The number of paths from (0,0) to (n, k) is the Eulerian number A(n, k), the number of permutations of 1,2,...,n + 1 with exactly n − k falls and k rises. We prove that the adic (Bratteli-Vershik) transformation on the space of infinite paths in this graph is ergodic with respect to the symmetric measure.

description: The use of the proportional odds (PO) model for ordinal regression is ubiquitous in the literature. If the assumption of parallel lines does not hold for the data, then an alternative is to specify a non-proportional odds (NPO) model, where the regression parameters are allowed to vary depending on the level of the response. However, it is often difficult to fit these models, and challenges regarding model choice and fitting are further compounded if there are a large number of explanatory variables. We make two contributions towards tackling these issues: firstly, we develop a Bayesian method for fitting these models, that ensures the stochastic ordering conditions hold for an arbitrary finite range of the explanatory variables, allowing NPO models to be fitted to any observed data set. Secondly, we use reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to allow the model to choose between PO and NPO structures for each explanatory variable, and show how variable selection can be incorporated. These methods can be adapted for any monotonic increasing link functions. We illustrate the utility of these approaches on novel data from a longitudinal study of individual-level risk factors affecting body condition score in a dog population in Zenzele, South Africa.

Asymptotic Properties of Bayesian Predictive Densities When the Distributions of Data and Target Variables are Different
Creators: name: Komaki, Fumiyasu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Bayesian predictive densities when the observed data $x$ and the target variable $y$ to be predicted have different distributions are investigated by using the framework of information geometry. The performance of predictive densities is evaluated by the Kullback--Leibler divergence. The parametric models are formulated as Riemannian manifolds. In the conventional setting in which $x$ and $y$ have the same distribution, the Fisher--Rao metric and the Jeffreys prior play essential roles. In the present setting in which $x$ and $y$ have different distributions, a new metric, which we call the predictive metric, constructed by using the Fisher information matrices of $x$ and $y$, and the volume element based on the predictive metric play the corresponding roles. It is shown that Bayesian predictive densities based on priors constructed by using non-constant positive superharmonic functions with respect to the predictive metric asymptotically dominate those based on the volume element prior of the predictive metric.

title: The formation and evolution of the Martian mantle: a Martian meteorite perspective
Creators: name: Mari, Nicola
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: martian meteorites, martian mantle, martian magmatism, martian volcanology, martian geochemistry, planetary formation, planetary evolution

description: Revealing the internal composition and evolution of the terrestrial planets is crucial to understanding planetary evolution in the Solar System and beyond. Mars is a perfect source of this information, since its mantle was not homogenized after the earliest phases of planetary differentiation. However, the interior evolution and composition of Mars is still unknown. Martian meteorites are the only rock samples from Mars that are available on Earth. The aim of this research is to obtain new insights about Martian mantle formation and its evolution from the perspective of the Martian meteorites. In particular, this work is divided into three interdisciplinary investigations in order to obtain new constraints on our knowledge about the Martian mantle. Firstly, the Tissint Martian meteorite was investigated since it is the meteorite that is most representative of the Martian mantle. This meteorite was analysed with the objective of obtaining information about the thermal state and convective activity in the Mars’ mantle. Major- and trace-element data for Tissint olivine and pyroxene were reported, and these data were used to provide new insights into the dynamics of the Tissint magma chamber, as well as the dynamics and temperature of Martian mantle at the time of Tissint crystallisation. Secondly, the potential for chemical tracing of the different Martian mantle sources was investigated by analysing rhenium-osmium and sulphur isotope compositions in five of the ten known nakhlite lava flows (Nakhla, Lafayette, MIL 090032, Yamato 000593, and Yamato 000749). In addition, these findings were used to suggest a plausible scenario to account for nakhlite magma origins. These findings were also utilised to discuss the implications of this work for fingerprinting the processes responsible for setting Martian mantle compositions during late-stage crystallization of a Martian magma ocean. Thirdly, the abundance of the volatile element chlorine in the Martian mantle was calculated by analysing amphibole and apatite phases in the two shergottites Tissint and Zagami. After finding that these phases record magmatic conditions of the Martian interior, the partition coefficients between chlorine and the parent melt were used to estimate the chlorine abundance of the shergottite magma source. In sum, the importance of the combined new findings are presented to explore their implications for our understanding of Mars’ formation and evolution and, more generally, the evolution of terrestrial planets.
