Influence diagnostics on the coefficient of variation of elliptically contoured distributions

open access: yes, 2011
In this article, we study the behavior of the coefficient of variation (CV) of a random variable that follows a symmetric distribution in the real line. Specifically, we estimate this coefficient using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method.

What Drives Negative Investment-Cash Flow Sensitivities? Revenue Effect Versus Corporate Life-Cycle Dynamics

open access: yesSchmalenbach Journal of Business Research, 2023
In order to identify the economic driver of negative investment-cash flow sensitivities (ICFS), we derive testable predictions from extending a theoretical investment model with endogenous financing costs (“revenue effect”) and contrast them with the ...

A Comparison of Two Theories of Perceived Distance on the Ground Plane: The Angular Expansion Hypothesis and the Intrinsic Bias Hypothesis

open access: yesi-Perception, 2012
Two theories of distance perception—ie, the angular expansion hypothesis (Durgin and Li, 2011 Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics 73 1856–1870) and the intrinsic bias hypothesis (Ooi et al, 2006 Perception 35 605–624)—are compared.

A test of the “;ceiling effect”; hypothesis of positive contrast [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Science, 1970
Seventy-two rats were given 0, 5, 10, or 15 small rewarded trials prior to being shifted to large reward for the remainder of 45 trials. Each of the groups which experienced an upward shift in reward magnitude rapidly approximated the performance of a consistently large rewarded control group, and in no case was a positive contrast effect observed.

Perceptual distinctiveness between dental and palatal sibilants in different vowel contexts and its implications for phonological contrasts

open access: yesLaboratory Phonology, 2017
Mandarin Chinese has dental, palatal, and retroflex sibilants, but their contrasts before [_i] are avoided: The palatals appear before [i] while the dentals and retroflexes appear before homorganic syllabic approximants (a.k.a. apical vowels).
