Model Specification Tests Against Non-Nested Alternatives [PDF]
Non-nested hypothesis tests provide a way to test the specification of an econometric model against the evidence provided by one or more non-nested alternatives.

Small Area Estimation under Poisson–Dirichlet Process Mixture Models
AxiomsIn this paper, we propose an improved Nested Error Regression model in which the random effects for each area are given a prior distribution using the Poisson–Dirichlet Process. Based on this model, we mainly investigate the construction of the parameter

Specification(s) of Nested Logit Models [PDF]
The nested logit model has become an important tool for the empirical analysis of discrete outcomes. There is some confusion about its specification of the outcome probabilities. Two major variants show up in the literature.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Testing Multiple Non-nested Factor Demand Systems, [PDF]
Empirical factor demand analysis typically involves making a choice from among several competing non-nested functional forms. Each of the commonly used factor demand systems, such as Translog, Generalized Leontief, Quadratic, and Generalized McFadden ...

Prediction of body fat percentage using a new hybrid intelligent feature selection: ANN-KGA & ANN-IKGA [PDF]
PeerJ Computer ScienceBefore initiating obesity treatment, it is essential to determine body fat percentage (BFP), a measure that cannot be assessed through conventional weighing alone.

Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Accommodating Complex Substitution Patterns in a Random Utility Model of Recreational Fishing [PDF]
We employed a cross-nested logit (CNL) model that permits a rich pattern of substitution among alternatives within a closed form choice model. The specification we employed is ideal for applications with many choice alternatives, such as the 431 fishing ...
