Applied statistical modeling of infant mortality with the progressively censored IPMCJ distribution

AIMS Mathematics
Accurate estimation and modeling of infant mortality rates are essential for public health planning and medical research, as they are influenced by a wide range of biological, environmental, and socio-economic factors.

Joint Estimation and Bandwidth Selection in Partially Parametric Models

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a single‐step approach to estimating a model with both a known nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. We study the large sample behavior of a simultaneous optimization routine that estimates both the parameter vector of the parametric component and the bandwidth vector used to smooth the unknown ...

A Consistent Heteroskedasticity‐Robust LM‐Type Specification Test for Semiparametric Models

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article develops a heteroskedasticity‐robust Lagrange Multiplier‐type specification test for semiparametric regression models. The test is able to detect a wide class of deviations from the null hypothesis. The test statistic is based on the estimates from the restricted semiparametric model, can be computed in a regression‐based way, and

Investigating the EKC and LCC Hypotheses for BRICS Countries: The Role of Economic Complexity in Environmental Degradation

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The number of studies in literature examining the relationship between economic complexity and environment continues to increase. In those studies, either environmental degradation is represented by a limited indicator, or a traditional empirical method is preferred.

Estimating Causal Effects With Observational Data: Guidelines for Agricultural and Applied Economists

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most research questions in agricultural and applied economics are causal in nature: they study how changes in one or more variables (such as policies, prices or weather) affect one or more other variables (e.g., income, crop yields or pollution).

Do Training Programmes Improve Awareness of Sustainable Finance?

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many initiatives worldwide aim to improve financial knowledge through training programmes at different levels of education. In this context, it is worth highlighting that sustainable finance knowledge should receive attention in line with the global challenges (climate change, social and economic inequalities, etc.) society is facing ...

Model‐Free Local Partial Correlation

Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the simple linear regression context, partial correlation measures the linear association between two variables, with the linear effects of a third control variable removed. In this paper, we investigate the local partial correlation using a kernel smoothing approach.

Enhancing generalizability theory with mixed‐effects models for heteroscedasticity in psychological measurement: A theoretical introduction with an application from EEG data

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generalizability theory (G‐theory) defines a statistical framework for assessing measurement reliability by decomposing observed variance into meaningful components attributable to persons, facets, and error. Classic G‐theory assumes homoscedastic residual variances across measurement conditions, an assumption that is often violated in ...

Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...
