Online Topology Identification from Vector Autoregressive Time Series
2019
Causality graphs are routinely estimated in social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering due to their capacity to efficiently represent the spatiotemporal structure of multivariate data sets in a format amenable for human interpretation, forecasting, and anomaly detection. A popular approach to mathematically formalize causality is based on vector autoregressive (VAR) models and constitutes an alternative to the well-known, yet usually intractable, Granger causality. Relying on such a VAR causality notion, this paper develops two algorithms with complementary benefits to track time-varying causality graphs in an online fashion. Their constant complexity per update also renders these a…
Regret appraisals, age, and subjective well-being
2003
This study examined whether regrets are associated with age and subjective well-being in a sample of 176 participants ranging in age 19 to 82 years. Participants were asked to name unattained goals or events which they currently regret, and appraise these along a number of dimensions such as changeableness and consequences. The results showed that those who appraised their regret-related goals or events as having an impact on their present lives, reported a lower level of life satisfaction and more physical symptoms than those who appraised their regrets as having less consequence. There were also age differences in the regret appraisals. The older adults evaluated their regret-related goal…
Die Qual der Wahl: Die Bedeutung des Regret bei Kaufentscheidungen
2003
Regret results from comparing the outcome of a chosen alternative to the outcome of a foregone alternative. Research shows that this emotion is highly relevant for consumer behavior and decision making, but in consumer research, only a few studies deal with regret. Most of these studies do not measure regret explicitly. And none of these studies include the antecedents of regret. They only examine the consequences of regret on consumer behavior, such as satisfaction. In contrast, the antecedents of regret, but not the consequences, has been a topic of interest in social psychology. Our research indicates that it is fruitful to analyze the antecedents of regret and its consequences together.…
Approachability in Population Games
2014
This paper reframes approachability theory within the context of population games. Thus, whilst one player aims at driving her average payoff to a predefined set, her opponent is not malevolent but rather extracted randomly from a population of individuals with given distribution on actions. First, convergence conditions are revisited based on the common prior on the population distribution, and we define the notion of \emph{1st-moment approachability}. Second, we develop a model of two coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) in the spirit of mean-field game theory: one describing the best-response of every player given the population distribution (this is a \emph{Hamilton-Jacobi-Bell…
The lexicon and poetics from Du Bellay's Regrets (1558) in post Pléiade spiritual poetry (1560-1600).
2022
Starting from an advanced analysis of the lexicon dealing with suffering, which is used in the Regrets, this works aims at revealing that spiritual poets from late 16th century employ the same words and phrases but with different meanings. Indeed the regret of the homeland becomes that of sins and the exiled poet's suffering becomes that of the sinner. The main topics of the Regrets such as the passing of time and the return to the homeland are used with a different meaning and, then, a different purpose. This work aims to study the transfer of vocabulary and poetics from a secular context to a religious and penitential one; spiritual poets also use the sonnet. Finally this PhD thesis inten…

Variabili situazionali e psicologiche nell’eccesso di scelta
2012
Partendo dalla recente letteratura psicologica sui limiti dei processi decisionali, il presente contributo ripensa criticamente la diffusa convinzione secondo cui un’ampia possibilità di scelta è sempre vantaggiosa e desiderabile. In particolare sono esaminate le principali ragioni per le quali la sovrabbondanza di decisioni imposte all’individuo dalla società odierna può tradursi in una logorante “tirannia di troppa scelta”.
Protecting Young Children Against Skin Cancer : Parental Beliefs, Roles, And Regret
2017
Objective To examine the role of parental beliefs, roles, and anticipated regret toward performing childhood sun-protective behaviours. Methods Parents (N = 230; 174 mothers, 56 fathers), recruited using a nonrandom convenience sample, of at least 1 child aged between 2 and 5 years completed an initial questionnaire assessing demographics and past behaviour as well as theory of planned behaviour global (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control) and belief-based (behavioural, normative, and control beliefs) measures, role construction, and anticipated regret regarding their intention and behaviour to protect their child from the sun. Two weeks later, participants complete…
The Most Invisible Maternal Experience? Analysing How Maternal Regret Is Discussed in Finland
2021
AbstractIn Finland, becoming a mother is often constructed as an individual choice that ultimately leads to personal fulfilment and happiness, despite the occasional ‘negative’ feelings associated with motherhood such as exhaustion, frustration and tiredness. In this cultural atmosphere, maternal regret continues to be a subject that is hidden, forbidden and rarely scrutinised. It is perhaps surprising that in one of the world’s most gender egalitarian countries, which is also perceived to be one of the best countries in which to be a mother, women still testify that motherhood is limited to survival. We argue that, somewhat paradoxically, discussing the negative emotions of motherhood migh…
