Determining the Number of Regimes in a Threshold Autoregressive Model Using Smooth Transition Autoregressions [PDF]
In this paper we propose a method for determining the number of regimes in threshold autoregressive models using smooth transition autoregression as a tool.

Maximum kernel likelihood estimation [PDF]
, 2008 We introduce an estimator for the population mean based on maximizing likelihoods formed by parameterizing a kernel density estimate. Due to these origins, we have dubbed the estimator the maximum kernel likelihood estimate (mkle). A speedy computational

Pesticide MRLs as Trade Barriers: Evidence From Vietnam's Coffee and Rice Exporters
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As tariffs have declined globally through bilateral and regional trade agreements, food safety standards have emerged as significant determinants of agricultural trade flows. This study examines the impact of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for five pesticides—Azoxystrobin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprole, Clothianidin, and Cyhalothrin—on ...

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

Efficient Estimation of Semiparametric Conditional Moment Models with Possibly Nonsmooth Residuals [PDF]
This paper considers semiparametric efficient estimation of conditional moment models with possibly nonsmooth residuals in unknown parametric components (theta) and unknown functions (h) of endogenous variables.

Measuring efficiency of Tunisian schools in the presence of quasi-fixed inputs: A bootstrap data envelopment analysis approach [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to measure the efficiency of high schools in Tunisia. We use a statistical Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-bootstrap approach with quasi-fixed inputs to estimate the precision of our measure.

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.scTIGER2.0 is a deep‐learning framework that infers gene regulatory networks from single‐cell RNA sequencing data. By integrating correlation, pseudotime ordering, deep learning and bootstrap‐based significance testing, it reduces false positives and reveals directional gene interactions.
