  • Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data
    Speeding up Correlation Search for Binary Data Lian Duan and W. Nick Street [email protected] Management Sciences Department The University of Iowa Abstract Finding the most interesting correlations in a collection of items is essential for problems in many commercial, medical, and scientific domains. Much previous re- search focuses on finding correlated pairs instead of correlated itemsets in which all items are correlated with each other. Though some existing methods find correlated itemsets of any size, they suffer from both efficiency and effectiveness problems in large datasets. In our previous paper [10], we propose a fully-correlated itemset (FCI) framework to decouple the correlation measure from the need for efficient search. By wrapping the desired measure in our FCI framework, we take advantage of the desired measure’s superiority in evaluating itemsets, eliminate itemsets with irrelevant items, and achieve good computational performance. However, FCIs must start pruning from 2-itemsets unlike frequent itemsets which can start the pruning from 1-itemsets. When the number of items in a given dataset is large and the support of all the pairs cannot be loaded into the memory, the IO cost O(n2) for calculating correlation of all the pairs is very high. In addition, users usually need to try different correlation thresholds and the cost of processing the Apriori procedure each time for a different threshold is very high. Consequently, we propose two techniques to solve the efficiency problem in this paper. With respect to correlated pair search, we identify a 1-dimensional monotone prop- erty of the upper bound of any good correlation measure, and different 2-dimensional monotone properties for different types of correlation measures.

A new era of mass destruction had begun. At the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, accepted Japan’s uncondi- tional surrender. Aboard the battleship U.S.S.

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated Congress’s use of two layers of tenure protection to shield Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) members from the President’s removal. The SEC could appoint and remove PCAOB members. An implied tenure-protection provision protected the SEC from the President’s at-will removal. And a statutory tenure-protection provision protected PCAOB members from the SEC’s at-will removal. The Court held that these “tiered” tenure protections between the President and the PCAOB members unconstitutionally impeded the President’s removal power because they prevented the President from holding the SEC responsible for PCAOB’s actions in the same manner as he could hold the SEC accountable for its other responsibilities. Four justices dissented. They argued that the majority’s decision, if applied rationally, would disrupt the independent administrative state by invalidat- ing tiered protections for several independent boards, 1500 ALJs, 210,000 military officers, and numerous civil servants. This Article proposes that, contrary to the dissent’s position, courts can preserve agency independence and the President’s removal power without disturbing Free Enterprise Fund or the Court’s prior, inconsistent removal-power jurisprudence. The courts should distinguish the various tiered tenure-protection provisions, which fall into weak, intermediate, and strong-protection prototypes. Certain prototype combina- tions permit the President to have federal officers implement his policy choices.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The Straight Story, production by Walt Disney Pictures, distribution by Buena Vista Productions; The Bridges of Madison County, production by Amblin/Malpaso, distribution by Warner Bros; The Age of Innocence, pro- duction and distribution by Columbia Pictures; The Insider, production by Touchstone Pictures, distribution by Buena Vista. 2. Online and newspaper film reviews often provide such assertions about modern works. On The Last King of Scotland’s (Kevin Macdonald, 2006) depiction of Idi Amin, Chad Webb (2008) claims that ‘Despite its uncanny brutality, The Last King of Scotland is a severely intimate picture. Director Kevin Macdonald devises this tale in a way that impeccably displays the dictator’s development from enchanting to malicious’. Film critic of The Evening Standard Derek Malcolm (2008) praises Atonement ( Joe Wright, 2007) from a similar perspective, declaring that ‘[A]n intimate portrait of three intertwining lives is its ultimate triumph’. For a persuasive study of the viewer’s close relationships with people in film, see Murray Smith (1995) and Jens Eder (2006). 3. The source for The Insider is Marie Brenner (1996). One report on the factual origins of The Straight Story is provided by Martha P. Nochimson (2000). The source novels for the other two films are by Robert James Waller (1992) and Edith Wharton (1948). For a comparative account of book and film versions of The Bridges of Madison County see Richard Alleva (1995) and Walter Metz (1997). For corresponding articles on The Age of Innocence see Philip Horne (1998) and Karli Lukas (2003). 4. See, for example, V. F.
