    Much of the research about the effects of postsecondary education for incarcerated individuals has focused on men. However, given the increase in rates of women’s imprisonment over the past two decades, it is imperative ...

  • Confidence and self-attribution bias in an artificial stock market 

    Bertella, Mario A.; Pires, Felipe R.; Rego, Henio H.A.; Silva, Jonathas N.; Vodenska, Irena; Stanley, H. Eugene (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-02-23)
    Using an agent-based model we examine the dynamics of stock price fluctuations and their rates of return in an artificial financial market composed of fundamentalist and chartist agents with and without confidence. We find ...

  • Cascading failures in bi-partite graphs: model for systemic risk propagation 

    Huang, Xuqing; Vodenska, Irena; Havlin, Shlomo; Stanley, H. Eugene (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-02-05)
    As economic entities become increasingly interconnected, a shock in a financial network can provoke significant cascading failures throughout the system. To study the systemic risk of financial systems, we create a bi-partite ...

    Motivated by recent financial crises, significant research efforts have been put into studying contagion effects and herding behaviour in financial markets. Much less has been said regarding the influence of financial news ...

  • Inferring short-term volatility indicators from the Bitcoin blockchain 

    Antulov-Fantulin, Nino; Tolic, Dijana; Piskorec, Matija; Ce, Zhang; Vodenska, Irena (Springer International Publishing, 2019)
    In this paper, we study the possibility of inferring early warning indicators (EWIs) for periods of extreme bitcoin price volatility using features obtained from Bitcoin daily transaction graphs. We infer the low-dimensional ...

  • Geographically weighted regression in the analysis of the development of information and communication technology in Indonesia 

    Pushpita Dwi, Sari; Jamilatuzzahro; Kanabar, Vijay (CEEOL (www.ceeol.com), 2018-11-30)
    The main purpose of this paper was to analyze the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Indonesia with Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to enable the identification of the variability of ...

    Vodenska, Irena; Aoyama, Hideaki; Fujiwara, Yoshi; Iyetomi, Hiroshi; Arai, Yuta (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-03-15)
    We explore the foreign exchange and stock market networks for 48 countries from 1999 to 2012 and propose a model, based on complex Hilbert principal component analysis, for extracting significant lead-lag relationships ...

  • Multiple tipping points and optimal repairing in interacting networks 

    Majdandzic, Antonio; Braunstein, Lidia A.; Curme, Chester; Vodenska, Irena; Leyy-Carciente, Sary; Stanley, H. Eugene; Havlin, Shlomo (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-01)
    Systems composed of many interacting dynamical networks—such as the human body with its biological networks or the global economic network consisting of regional clusters—often exhibit complicated collective dynamics. Three ...

    Kenett, Dror Y.; Huang, Xuqing; Vodenska, Irena; Havlin, Shlomo; Stanley, H. Eugene (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015-04-03)
    The presence of significant cross-correlations between the synchronous time evolution of a pair of equity returns is a well-known empirical fact. The Pearson correlation is commonly used to indicate the level of similarity ...

  • UFD1 contributes to MYC-mediated leukemia aggressiveness through suppression of the proapoptotic unfolded protein response 

    Huiting, L.N.; Samaha, Y.; Zhang, Guanglan; Roderick, J.E.; Li, B.; Anderson, N.M.; Wang, Y.W.; Wang, L.; Laroche, F.J.F.; Choi, J.W.; Liu, C.T.; Kelliher, M.A.; Feng, Hui (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04-25)
    Despite the pivotal role of MYC in tumorigenesis, the mechanisms by which it promotes cancer aggressiveness remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that MYC transcriptionally upregulates the ubiquitin fusion degradation ...
