Les réseaux de neurones un outil de sélection de variables : Le cas des facteurs de risque de la maladie du cancer du sein
(Centre de recherche en éthique de l'Université de Montréal, 2012)
Ce papier utilise les réseaux de neurones avec un algorithme incrémental comme outil de
sélection des facteurs de risques les plus pertinents dans la maladie du cancer du sein. Les
résultats témoignent de la pertinence ...
Gray matter hypertrophy and thickening with obstructive sleep apnea in middle-aged and older adults
Gray matter increases with obstructive sleep apnea
(American Thoracic Society, 2017-06-01)
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea causes intermittent hypoxemia, hemodynamic fluctuations,
and sleep fragmentation, all of which could damage cerebral gray matter that can be indirectly
assessed with neuroimaging.
Objectives: ...
Nightmare frequency, nightmare distress and the efficiency of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
Background: Up to 71% of trauma victims diagnosed with PTSD have frequent nightmares (NM), compared to only 2% to 5% of the
general population.
Objectives: The present study examined whether nightmares before the beginning ...
Kant et les conditions "conditionnées" de la possibilité de l’expérience
(Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi, 2017)
The aim of this paper is to set out some features of Kant’s conception of transcendental
philosophy. I would like to argue that this philosophy, although it is situated at a higher level of
discourse than common knowledge, ...
Monetary policy in sudden stop-prone economies
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
In a model featuring sudden stops and pecuniary externalities, I show that the ability to use capital controls has radical implications for the conduct of monetary policy. Absent capital controls, following an inflation ...
Robust design in monotonic matching markets : a case for firm-proposing deferred-acceptance
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-05)
We study two-sided matching markets among workers and firms. Workers seek one position at a firm but firms may employ several workers. In many applications those markets are monotonic: leaving positions unfilled is costly ...
Positively responsive collection choice rules and majority rule: a generalization of May's theorem to many alternatives
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-04)
A collective choice rule selects a set of alternatives for each collective choice problem. Suppose that the alternative ’x’, is in the set selected by a collective choice rule for some collective choice problem. Now suppose ...
Bootstrapping factor models with cross sectional dependence
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-07)
We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron ...
Discrimination without taste : How discrimination can spillover and persist
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
We introduce coordination failures driven by beliefs regarding the presence of taste discriminators as a channel of discrimination in productive activities requiring the input of multiple agents. We show that discrimination ...
Asset pledgeability and endogenously leveraged bubbles
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2018-06)
We develop a simple model of defaultable debt and rational bubbles in the price of an asset, which can be pledged as collateral in a competitive credit pool. When the asset pledgeability is low, the down payment is high, ...
