Cost efficiency and UK building societies. An econometric panel-data study employing a flexible fourier functional form [PDF]
The paper empirically quantifies firm specific 'distribution free' cost efficiency, economies of scale and economies of scope in the UK building society sector between 1990-1995. Both a flexible Fourier and a translog functional form are employed with

Bayesian analysis of time series using Lindley`s approximation
The autoregressive model of order p and moving-average model of order q are analyzed when the parameters and the precision of the error term are random variables. In the analysis the squared error (SE) and linear exponential (LINEX) loss functions are utilized. Using four different priors, the Bayes estimators of the parameters are derived.

Bayesian analysis of the linear reaction norm model with unknown covariate [PDF]
The reaction norm model is becoming a popular approach for the analysis of G x E interactions. In a classical reaction norm model, the expression of a genotype in different environments is described as a linear function (a reaction norm) of an ...

The purpose of the present paper is two-fold. First, we consider the estimation of the unknown model parameters and the reliability characteristics of a gamma-mixed Rayleigh distribution when a progressively type-II censored sample (PT-IICS) is ...

Although many time series are realizations from discrete processes, it is often that a continuous Gaussian model is implemented for modeling and forecasting the data, resulting in incoherent forecasts. Forecasts using a Poisson-Lindley integer autoregressive (PLINAR) model are compared to variations of Gaussian forecasts via simulation by equating ...

Ridge Estimators for Distributed Lag Models [PDF]
The paper explains how the Almon polynominal lag specification can be made stochastic in two different ways - one suggested by Shiller and another following the lines of Lindley and Smith.

Comparing probabilistic methods for outlier detection. [PDF]
This paper compares the use of two posterior probability methods to deal with outliers in linear models. We show that putting together diagnostics that come from the mean-shift and variance-shift models yields a procedure that seems to be more effective ...

The life test is guaranteed to end at a predetermined time using a novel type-II generalized progressively hybrid censoring method that is investigated when the test participants’ lifetime model has a two-parameter Lindley-exponential (LndE) distribution.

Default Estimation for Low-Default Portfolios [PDF]
The problem in default probability estimation for low-default portfolios is that there is little relevant historical data information. No amount of data processing can fix this problem. More information is required.
