Time to fill up India’s strategic oil reserves by Narula, K

“…Although oil stocks are generally not released to manage oil prices (the IEA’s intention is to stabilize the market and release stocks only in case of physical shortages), it may be possible to use the stored oil to offset a spike in oil prices, especially for developing countries which have administered oil prices.…”

Modelling Malaysia air quality data using Bayesian Structural Time Series models by Aeshah Mohammed, Mohd Aftar Abu Bakar, Mahayaudin M. Mansor, Noratiqah Mohd Ariff

“…The BSTS model integrates three main techniques: The structural model, which employs the Kalman filter approach to model trend and seasonality components; spike and slab regression for variable selection; and Bayesian model averaging to estimate the best-performing prediction model while accounting for uncertainty. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
