[PDF][PDF] Optimal rebalancing for institutional portfolios

W Sun, A Fan, L Chen, T Schouwenaars… - Journal of Portfolio …, 2006 - Citeseer
Once a manager determines a target portfolio, maintaining this balance of assets is non-trivial.
A manager must rebalance actively because different asset classes can exhibit different …

MCMC curve sampling for image segmentation

AC Fan, JW Fisher III, WM Wells III, JJ Levitt… - … Conference on Medical …, 2007 - Springer
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of
curves. We view a traditional curve evolution energy functional as a negative log probability …

A unified variational approach to denoising and bias correction in MR

A Fan, WM Wells, JW Fisher, M Cetin, S Haker… - … Processing in Medical …, 2003 - Springer
We propose a novel bias correction method for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging that uses
complementary body coil and surface coil images. The former are spatially homogeneous …

[PDF][PDF] Nine loci for ocular axial length identified through genome-wide association studies, including shared loci with refractive error

…, E Cohen, P Laibson, C Rapuano, B Ayres… - The American Journal of …, 2013 - cell.com
Refractive errors are common eye disorders of public health importance worldwide. Ocular
axial length (AL) is the major determinant of refraction and thus of myopia and hyperopia. We …
