When is Menzerath-Altmann law mathematically trivial? A new approach

open access: yes, 2014
Menzerath's law, the tendency of Z, the mean size of the parts, to decrease as X, the number of parts, increases is found in language, music and genomes. Recently, it has been argued that the presence of the law in genomes is an inevitable consequence of

Non-parametric analysis of the effects of αS1-casein genotype and parturition non-genetic factors on milk yield and composition in Murciano-Granadina goats

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Limited sample sizes imply parametric assumptions could be violated, even if traits have been reported to fulfil parametric assumptions. Parametric studies have addressed a non-significant influence of CSN1S1 genes on Murciano-Granadina milk yield, fat ...

The World According to GARP* : Non-parametric Tests of Demand Theory and Rational Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes
The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first point out that violation of rationality axioms (SARP, GARP, WARP) do not necessarily lead to a non-rational behavior.

Ceiling effects in the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) suggest that non-parametric scoring methods are required.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Initially designed to identify children's movement impairments in clinical settings, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2) is also widely used to evaluate children's movement in research.

The Effects of Constructing Irrigation and Drainage Network of Rajaei Dam on Spatial and Temporal Changes of Groundwater Quality and Quantity

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2017
Construction of a dam in the upstream of Tajan basin, as one of the human activities in order to provide drinking water, hydropower, agriculture, flood control or other purposes, can be effective on other sectors such as water resources.

Comparison of Non-Stationary Time Series in the Frequency Domain. [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we compare two non-stationary time series using non-parametric procedures. Evolutionary spectra are estimated for the two series. Randomization tests are performed on groups of spectral estimates for both related and independent time series.

Econometrics of testing for jumps in financial economics using bipower variation [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we provide an asymptotic distribution theory for some non-parametric tests of the hypothesis that asset prices have continuous sample paths. We study the behaviour of the tests using simulated data and see that certain versions of the tests

Effect of oil price changes on the price of Russian and Chinese oil shares [PDF]

open access: yes
Do changes of oil prices have an effect on the stocks of oil companies in emerging markets? Do the shares of oil companies of emerging markets react to the price news in a similar way as those of the Western companies?

Testing for cointegration using induced-order statistics. [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we explore the usefulness of induced-order statistics in the characterization of integrated series and of cointegration relationships. We propose a non-parametric test statistic for testing the null hypothesis of two independent random ...

Looking far in the past: Revisiting the growth-returns nexus with non-parametric tests [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we reexamine the linkages between output growth and real stock price changes for the G7 countries using a battery of non-parametric procedures to account for the impact of long-lagged observations.
