The effect of online reviews on product sales: A joint sentiment-topic analysis

This research examines the business impact of online reviews. It empirically investigates the influence of numerical and textual reviews on product sales performance. We use a Joint Sentiment-Topic model to extract the topics and associated sentiments in review texts. We further propose that numerical rating mediates the effects of textual sentiments. Findings not only contribute to the knowledge of how eWOM impacts product sales, but also illustrate how numerical rating and textual reviews interplay while shaping product sales. In practice, the findings help online vendors strategize business analytics operations by focusing on more relevant aspects that ultimately drive sales.

Improving Solution of Euler Equations by a Gas-Kinetic BGK Method

Aim. The well known JST(Jameson-Schmidt-Turkel) scheme requires the use of a dissipation term. We propose using gas-kinetic BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) method, which is based on the more fundamental Boltzmann equation, in order to obviate the use of dissipation term and obtain, we believe, an improved solution. Section 1 deals essentially with three things: (1) as analytical solution of molecular probability density function at the ceil interface has been obtained by the Bohzmann equation with BGK model, we can compute the flux term by integrating the density function in the phase space; eqs. (8) and (11) require careful attention; (2) the integrations can be expressed as the moments of Maxwellian distribution with different limits according to the analytical solution; eqs. (9) and (10) require careful attention; (3) the discrete equation by finite volume method can be solved using the time marching method. Computations are performed by the BGK method for the Sod's shock tube problem and a two-dimensional shock reflection problem. The results are compared with those of the conventional JST scheme in Figs. 1 and 2. The BGK method provides better resolution of shock waves and other features of the flow fields.
