Combining Multi-Attribute Utility And Geographic Information For Boundary Decisions: An Application To Park Planning, Jeffrey Keisler, Ronald Sundell Nov 1997

Combining Multi-Attribute Utility And Geographic Information For Boundary Decisions: An Application To Park Planning, Jeffrey Keisler, Ronald Sundell

Jeffrey Keisler

The quality and value of an area depend primarily on what is found within its designated boundaries. To determine the value of such areas in terms of boundaries, we have developed a methodology for integrating multi-attribute utility functions with spatial analysis so that desirable, or appropriate, boundaries can be determined on the basis of the goals and objectives for the park. The key to successful evaluation is the development of measures for what decision makers value, rather than merely using what is easily measured. In a detailed example for planning of national parks, the fundamental objectives are conservation and societal …


A General Multiproduct, Multipollutant Market Pollution Permit Model: A Variational Inequality Approach, Anna Nagurney, Kathy Kanwalroop Dhanda, John K. Stranlund Feb 1997

A General Multiproduct, Multipollutant Market Pollution Permit Model: A Variational Inequality Approach, Anna Nagurney, Kathy Kanwalroop Dhanda, John K. Stranlund

In this paper, we develop a new model in marketable pollution permits that consists of perfectly competitive, multi-product, multi-pollutant firms. The formulation and qualitative analysis of the model, as well as the computational approach, are based on the theory of variational inequalities.

A Bayesian Approach To Additive Nonparametric Regression, Michael S. Smith, Robert Kohn Dec 1993

A Bayesian Approach To Additive Nonparametric Regression, Michael S. Smith, Robert Kohn

Michael Stanley Smith

This proceedings paper was the first to suggest using a Gaussian g-prior combined with a point mass to undertake Bayesian variable selection in a Gaussian linear regression model. It also was the first to suggest integrating out the regression parameters and variance in closed form, resulting in an efficient Gibbs sampling scheme. The idea was applied to estimate regression functions in an additive model by using a linear basis expansion for each component function in an additive model. The conference proceeding was eventually published in a slightly tighter form in Journal of Econometrics (1996).
