A classifying procedure for signalling turning points
Article Abstract:
Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used for developing a classifying procedure that helps in producing probability forecasts for turning points. Markov Bayesian Classifier (MBC), which places a penalty for a wrong decision in the cost function also helps in determining the turning points and was applied for forecasting the turning points in the United States and Swedish economies.

Article Abstract:
Hitchhiking puts the hitchhiker into contact with many different types of people. Most of the rides come from white, single males who drive old cars and smoke cigarettes. Hitchhiking and picking up hitchhikers are both acts of optimism not practiced very much in the late 90s.
