Reproduce the Experiments in "Predicting Winning Price in Real Time Bidding with Censored Data"
Corrigendum
- The Eq.(5) in our paper should be $\sum_{i \in W} {- log\left( \phi(\frac{wi - \beta{clm}^T}{\sigma}) \right)} + \sum{i \in L} {-log\left( \Phi(\frac{\beta{clm}^Tx_i - b_i}{\sigma}) \right)}$.
The original Eq.(5) uses the winning probability, however, the $L$ is the losing bids. Therefore, it should be the losing probability.
