Hierarchical Models and Tuning of Random Walk Metropolis Algorithms by Mylène Bédard

“…The theorems are proved by studying the generator of the first and second components of the algorithm and verifying their convergence to the generator of a modified RWM algorithm and a diffusion process, respectively. The rate at which the algorithm explores its state space is optimized by studying the speed measure of the limiting diffusion process. …”

Adaptive Bayesian Nonparametric Regression via Stationary Smoothness Priors by Justin L. Tobias

“…Relative to previous work adopting a similar approach that either employs a single global smoothing parameter or assumes that the smoothing process follows a random walk, the model considered here permits adaptive smoothing and imposes stationarity in the autoregressive smoothing process. …”

THE SUBSTANTIATION OF THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES, PREMISE FOR THE ABSORPTION OF THE STRUCTURAL AND COHESION FUNDS IN ROMANIA by Aida, CATANĂ

“…These are the problems identified both within the annual implementation reports and national strategic reports as the main causes of the low rate of absorption. As a conclusion, there are more different aspects such as capacity of the public management or the coherence of the legal system that should take into account in the process of the substantiation of the regional development strategies.…”
