Factors influencing the outcome of economic sanctions.

Herman Wold (1985)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

This paper draws from two unpulished articles with the same title, Wold (1978, 1980), the first (5 pages) presented at the International Workshop on Conflict Resolution, University of Haifa, Israel, 19-24 june 1978, the second (28 pages) at the Fourth World Congress of Econometric Society, Aix-en-Provence, 21 Aug.-1 Sept. 1980. For considerations of space the present paper is in cable style. As an exercise in scientific model building the analysis is extreme in using 27 variables...

A comparison of parametric models for mortality graduation. Application to mortality data for the Valencia Region (Spain).

Ana Debón, Francisco Montes, Ramón Sala (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

The parametric graduation of mortality data has as its objective the satisfactory estimation of the death rates based on mortality data but using an age-dependent function whose parameters are adjusted from the crude rates obtainable directly from the data. This paper proposes a revision of the most commonly used parametric models and compares the result obtained with each of them when they are applied to the mortality data for the Valencia Region. As a result of the comparison, we conclude...

A rainfall forecasting method using machine learning models and its application to the Fukuoka city case

S. Monira Sumi, M. Faisal Zaman, Hideo Hirose (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In the present article, an attempt is made to derive optimal data-driven machine learning methods for forecasting an average daily and monthly rainfall of the Fukuoka city in Japan. This comparative study is conducted concentrating on three aspects: modelling inputs, modelling methods and pre-processing techniques. A comparison between linear correlation analysis and average mutual information is made to find an optimal input technique. For the modelling of the rainfall, a novel hybrid...

Study of Bootstrap Estimates in Cox Regression Model with Delayed Entry

Silvie Bělašková, Eva Fišerová, Sylvia Krupičková (2013)

Similarity:

In most clinical studies, patients are observed for extended time periods to evaluate influences in treatment such as drug treatment, approaches to surgery, etc. The primary event in these studies is death, relapse, adverse drug reaction, or development of a new disease. The follow-up time may range from few weeks to many years. Although these studies are long term, the number of observed events is small. Longitudinal studies have increased the importance of statistical methods for time-to...

Some inferential questions in regard to analysing two-way Layouts and associated linear model theory and practice

Brenton R. Clarke, Antony G. Monaco (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In analysing a well known data set from the literature which can be thought of as a two-way layout it transpires that a robust adaptive regression approach for identifying outliers fails to be sensitive enough to detect the possible interchange of two observations. On the other hand if one takes the classical approach of diagnostic checking one may also stop too early and be satisfied with a model that falls short of a more detailed analysis that takes account of heteroscedasticity in...
