Predicting changes in agricultural yields under climate change scenarios and their implications for global food security by Christine Li, James Camac, Andrew Robinson, Tom Kompas

“…We present updates to published estimates of crop yield responses to projected temperature, precipitation, and CO2 patterns and show that mixed effects models perform better than pooled OLS models on root mean squared error (RMSE) and explained deviance, despite the common usage of pooled OLS in previous meta-analyses. …”

A novel machine learning approach for portfolio optimization by Saman Haratizadeh, Fatemeh Rezaee

“…The common disadvantage of these methods is that they all use simple and inflexible mechanisms to estimate the performance of a set. The purpose of this paper is to show for the first time, that machine learning can be used to create a more effective mechanism for estimating performance, which leads to a more efficient allocation of capital to portfolio stocks.Methodology: Our proposed framework, uses two predictive models based on machine learning. …”

Quantum-Ordering Ambiguities in Weak Chern—Simons 4D Gravity and Metastability of the Condensate-Induced Inflation by Panagiotis Dorlis, Nick E. Mavromatos, Sotirios-Neilos Vlachos

“…We argue in favor of a physical importance of such imaginary parts, which we compute to second order in the GW (tensor) perturbations in the framework of a gauge-fixed effective Lagrangian, within a (mean field) weak-quantum-gravity-path-integral approach. We thus provide estimates of the inflation lifetime. On matching our results with the inflationary phenomenology, we fix the quantum-ordering ambiguities, and obtain an order-of-magnitude constraint on the String-Mass-Scale-to-Planck-Mass ratio, consistent with previous estimates by the authors in the framework of a dynamical-system approach to linear-axion RVM inflation. …”
