It’s RILA Time: An Introduction to Registered Index-Linked Annuiti

https://www.fox.temple.edu/sites/fox/files/documents/Cummins%20Conference%202022/RILA_Moenig_JRI_final.pdf

1 Introduction Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs)|also known as \index-linked annuities", \struc-tured annuities", \structured variable annuities" or \bu er annuities"|are a relatively recent type of deferred equity-linked annuity. They can be purchased from an increasing number of life insurance companies in the U.S. and enjoy preferential tax treatment akin to other long-term ...

CIS587 : The Wumpus World

https://cis.temple.edu/~ingargio/cis587/readings/wumpus.shtml

The agent can go Forward in the direction it is currently facing, or Turn Right, or Turn Left. Going Forward into a wall will generate a Bump percept. The agent has a single arrow that it can Shoot. It will go straight in the direction faced by the agent until it hits (and kills) the wumpus, or hits (and is absorbed by) a wall. The agent can Grab a portable object at the current square or it ...

An introduction to Kalman filt

https://cis.temple.edu/~latecki/Courses/CIS750-03/Papers/kalmanintroduction.pdf

1 Introduction In his 1960 famous publication (“A new approach to linear filtering and prediction problems”, Trans. ASME J. Basic Engineering., vol 82, March 1960, pp 34-45), Rudolf Kalman based the construction of the state estimation filter on probability theory, and more specifically, on the properties of conditional Gaussian random variables. The criterion he proposed to minimize is ...

MATRICES

https://cis.temple.edu/~latecki/Courses/CIS2166-Fall16/Lectures/MatrixAlg1.pdf

In mathematics, an elementary matrix is a matrix which differs from the identity matrix by one single elementary row operation. Repeated multiplication of the identity matrix by the elementary matrices can generate any invertible matrix (definition of the inverse matrix will come later). Left multiplication (pre-multiplication) by an elementary matrix represents elementary row operations ...

Stronger predation intensity and impact on prey communities in the tropics

https://sites.temple.edu/bjsewall/files/2021/08/Freestone-et-al-2021-Ecology-Stronger-predation-intensity-impact-on-prey-communities-in-the-tropics.pdf

Abstract. The hypothesis that biotic interactions strengthen toward lower latitudes pro-vides a framework for linking community-scale processes with the macroecological scales that define our biosphere. Despite the importance of this hypothesis for understanding community assembly and ecosystem functioning, the extent to which interaction strength varies across lati-tude and the effects of ...

Toward a Logic of Everyday Reasoning - Temple University

https://cis.temple.edu/~pwang/Publication/EverydayReasoning.pdf

Even though this tradition had made great contributions, its limitations became unacceptable when a symbolic logic was needed in the study of the foundation of mathematics, and consequently Frege, Whitehead, and Russell established first-order predicate calculus [Frege, 1999, Whitehead and Russell, 1910], which is now usually referred to as classical logic. This logic is similar to traditional ...

Use Wordfish for Ideological Scaling: Unsupervised Learning of Textual ...

https://sites.temple.edu/tudsc/2017/11/09/use-wordfish-for-ideological-scaling/

For the arguments in the wordfish () function, as.wfm turns the document-term matrix into a word frequency matrix object. “33” and “4” tell the model to force the estimated position value of the 33th user to be less than that of the 4th user. I randomly selected one user from each camp (“33” from the left and “4” for the right; the first line above helps to check which document ...

CRC_AU2832_C01.tex

https://cis.temple.edu/~wu/research/publications/Publication_files/handbook-part1.pdf

The 19 chapters in this section cover a wide range of topics across multiple layers: MAC (part of the data link layer), network, and applications. One chapter is devoted to the cross-layer architecture for ad hoc wireless networks. Several chapters deal with various efficient and scalable routing, including multicasting and geocasting, in ad hoc wireless networks. One chapter discusses routing ...
