Does the Tax Cuts Policy Lower Firm Survival Risk? Evidence from China [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 This paper examines the effect of tax cuts policy on firm survival risk. We analyze a panel data of China’s listed companies over the period 20082021 based on two different techniques: Kaplan-Meier survival estimator and the Cox proportional hazards ...

An Efficient Implementation of Fixed Failure-Rate Ratio Test for GNSS Ambiguity Resolution
Sensors, 2016 Ambiguity Resolution (AR) plays a vital role in precise GNSS positioning. Correctly-fixed integer ambiguities can significantly improve the positioning solution, while incorrectly-fixed integer ambiguities can bring large positioning errors and ...

An Innovative Model of Reliability—The Pseudo-Entropic Model
Entropy, 2019 There is an entire field of literature on reliability models. Building reliability models is most frequently done by starting from the failure rate (or hazard rate). Creating a reliability model starts with the specific type of product behavior over time,

Failure rates in introductory programming [PDF]
ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2007 It is a common conception that CS1 is a very difficult course and that failure rates are high. However, until now there has only been anecdotal evidence for this claim. This article reports on a survey among institutions around the world regarding failure rates in introductory programming courses.

Failure rate properties of parallel systems [PDF]
Advances in Applied Probability, 2020 AbstractWe study failure rate monotonicity and generalised convex transform stochastic ordering properties of random variables, with an emphasis on applications. We are especially interested in the effect of a tail-weight iteration procedure to define distributions, which is equivalent to the characterisation of moments of the residual lifetime at a ...
