Vanishing shortcoming and asymptotic relative efficiency [PDF]
, 2000 The shortcoming of a test is the difference between the maximal attainable power and the power of the test under consideration. Vanishing shortcoming, when the number of observations tends to infinity, is therefore an optimality property of a test. Other

Consumer Preferences for Craft Beer: The Interplay of Localness and Advertising Language
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the influence of the language of the label, origin of production, and origin of brewing ingredients on Croatian consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for organic craft beer. Employing an online survey and a choice experiment among 223 Croatian alcohol consumers, we find that while there's a willingness to pay a ...

MLEce: Statistical inference for asymptotically efficient closed-form estimators in R
SoftwareXMaximum likelihood estimation is a classical method with useful properties like efficiency, consistency, and asymptotic normality. However, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) cannot be in closed form in many distributions.

Direct Determination of Smoothing Parameter for Penalized Spline Regression
Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2014 Penalized spline estimator is one of the useful smoothing methods. To construct the estimator, having goodness of fit and smoothness, the smoothing parameter should be appropriately selected. The purpose of this paper is to select the smoothing parameter

On the Asymptotic Efficiency of Strongly Asymptotically Median Unbiased Estimators
The Annals of Statistics, 1978 It is shown that the problem of asymptotic efficiency (in the Wolfowitz-sense) admits a satisfactory solution for the class of strongly asymptotically median unbiased estimators. The concept of strongly asymptotic median unbiasedness furthermore links up the classical approach (concerning estimator-sequences whose distribution functions converge) with ...

The effect of activity-based financing on hospital efficiency: A panel data analysis of DEA efficiency scores 1992-2000 [PDF]
Activity-based financing (ABF) was implemented in the Norwegian hospital sector from 1 July 1997. A fraction (30 to 50 per cent) of the block grant from the state to the county councils has been replaced by a matching grant depending upon the number and ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food systems have a significant impact on environmental sustainability, underscoring the need for innovative technologies to support more sustainable agricultural methods. However, the adoption of these technologies hinges on consumer acceptance, making the analysis of consumer perceptions essential.

Robustness Property of Robust-BD Wald-Type Test for Varying-Dimensional General Linear Models
Entropy, 2018 An important issue for robust inference is to examine the stability of the asymptotic level and power of the test statistic in the presence of contaminated data.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Past growth in the global organic market has been concentrated in high‐income countries, while in middle‐income countries such as Serbia the organic market remains nascent and characterized by a sparse assortment of organic products, high retail premia and limited evidence on consumer preferences and their drivers.

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...
