Analysis of a parametrically driven pendulum [PDF]
We study in this paper the behavior of a periodically driven nonlinear mechanical system. Bifurcation diagrams are found which locate regions of quasiperiodic, periodic and chaotic behavior within the parameter space of the system. We also conduct a symbolic analysis of the model, which demonstrates that the symbolic dynamics of two-dimensional maps ...

In a meta‐analysis, we assemble a sample of independent, nonidentically distributed p‐values. The Fisher's combination procedure provides a chi‐squared test of whether the p‐values were sampled from the null uniform distribution. After rejecting the null uniform hypothesis, we are faced with the problem of how to combine the assembled p‐values.

Parametric and non-parametric analysis of tax changes [PDF]
In this paper we examine the net effect of several major tax changes in Australia on residential property prices. Specifically, we consider the announcement and introduction effects that resulted from several policy changes including the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the accompanying First Home Owner Grant (FHOG).

This article presents a new proposal to estimate structural capacity models for bridge portfolios. A common approach is the use of ductility-based capacity models. Herein, a ductility replacement for curvature or drift as engineering demand parameters is
