Copernican Journal of Finance & Accounting, 2020 This paper explored the determinants of the informal economy size estimations with survey data in the multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC) model. This model enables us to estimate the unknown variable with the known observable variables. The size

Once a Batesian mimic, not always a Batesian mimic: mimic reverts back to ancestral phenotype when the model is absent [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Batesian mimics gain protection from predation through the evolution of physical similarities to a model species that possesses anti-predator defences. This protection should not be effective in the absence of the model since the predator does not identify the mimic as potentially dangerous and both the model and the mimic are highly conspicuous. Thus,

Models and tissue mimics for brain shift simulations [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2017 Capturing the deformation of human brain during neurosurgical operations is an extremely important task to improve the accuracy or surgical procedure and minimize permanent damage in patients. This study focuses on the development of an accurate numerical model for the prediction of brain shift during surgical procedures and employs a tissue mimic ...

PHENOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS OF MODEL AND MIMIC SALAMANDERS [PDF]
Evolution, 1981 Models and mimics may be temporally isolated as long as both model and mimic are contacted by a single predator that learns to avoid the model and subsequently contacts and avoids the mimic. Bobisud (1978) developed a mathematical model to explain the advantage to the mimic in delaying its activity, and Huheey (1980) extended the same idea to explain ...

A Four-Dimensional Organoid System to Visualize Cancer Cell Vascular Invasion
Biology, 2020 Vascular invasion of cancer is a critical step in cancer progression, but no drug has been developed to inhibit vascular invasion. To achieve the eradication of cancer metastasis, elucidation of the mechanism for vascular invasion and the development of ...

MIMIC modelling with instrumental variables: A 2SLS-MIMIC approach
, 2020 Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) models are type of structural equation models, a theory-based approach to confirm the influence of a set of exogenous causal variables on the latent variable, and also the effect of the latent variable on observed indicator variables.
