The Vidale-Wolfe marketing model is a first-order, linear, non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation (ODE) where the forcing term is proportional to advertising expenditure.

Projection Agnostic Quality Metric For 360° Images, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Comparison of image quality for 360° images and videos that utilize different projections are difficult. This disclosure provides a reliable quality metric for 360° images/ videos, irrespective of the projection used. The 360° image for which the quality metric is to be computed is converted into a spherical representation. The surface of the sphere is peeled to produce overlapping loops that are rectangular in structure. A quality metric is determined by utilizing the block-based technique of SSIM to compute scores for blocks of the image and choosing a percentile based on the scores of the blocks of an image.

Attribute Prediction Based On Online Connections, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Techniques to predict attributes for a user or user group are described. User profiles and connections to other users are analyzed to determine user groups such as a household. Clusters are formed based on matching attributes of similar user groups. Available databases are queried using the user group identifiers to obtain a group-wide attribute value, e.g., household income, for a subset of user groups of a cluster. The obtained values are used to predict missing attribute values that were not found in the database, after adjusting for variations between user groups, such as a number of users in the group. …
