These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

  • Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications
    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications Xiaojia Guo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London. UCL School of Management University College London November 10, 2020 2 I, Xiaojia Guo, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indi- cated in the work. 3 To my family for their invaluable support throughout the years. Abstract This thesis develops new methods to generate probabilistic forecasts and applies these methods to solve operations problems in practice. The first chapter introduces a new product life cycle model, the tilted-Gompertz model, which can predict the distribution of period sales and cumulative sales over a product’s life cycle. The tilted-Gompertz model is developed by exponential tilting the Gompertz model, which has been widely applied in modelling human mortality. Due to the tilting parameter, this new model is flexible and capable of describing a wider range of shapes compared to existing life cycle models. In two empirical studies, one on the adoption of new products and the other on search interest in social networking websites, I find that the tilted-Gompertz model performs well on quantile forecast- ing and point forecasting, when compared to other leading life-cycle models. In the second chapter, I develop a new exponential smoothing model that can cap- ture life-cycle trends. This new exponential smoothing model can also be viewed as a tilted-Gompertz model with time-varying parameters.

Two premises guide the Center’s work: that deeper knowledge of religion’s global role is critical to address these challenges, and that the open engagement of religious traditions with one another and with the wider society can promote peace.
