This paper focuses on finding starting-values for the estimation of Vector STAR models.
Based on a Monte Carlo study, different procedures are evaluated. Their performance is …

A core work of the science and technology management system is to support the integration
and utilization of massive data from distributed systems using data warehouse technology. …

In this article, we propose a novel method for transforming a time series into a complex network
graph. The proposed algorithm is based on the spatial distribution of a time series. The …

Predicting sales is important for e-commerce companies to meet the demand of products.
Accurate sales forecasts can lead to less excess stock and less lost sales, which cuts the costs …

The matter inside pulsar-like compact stars could be in a quark-cluster phase since in cold
dense matter at a few nuclear densities (ρろー ~ 2 - 10ρ 0 ), quarks could be coupled still very …

In ESTAR models it is usually difficult to determine parameter estimates, as it can be observed
in the literature. We show that the phenomena of getting strongly biased estimators is a …

In a growing set of landmark reports, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) set in motion a sweeping
quality initiative for reform of the healthcare system. Many of the recommendations …

New classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system is found in closed form by
assuming that the hypersurface is spheroidal. This is achieved by choosing a particular form for …

This thesis studies a spin-star model and an open spin-star model. The spin-star model is
exactly solvable, and the approximation methods can be applied and compared with the exact …

In this thesis, I generated excess liquidity series for the United States, the United Kingdom, the
Euro Area, Japan and Canada using the P-star model. Using these excess liquidity series, …
