Effects of Outsourced Agricultural Extension Services on the Technical Efficiency and Financial Returns of Soybean Farms in Northern Cameroon

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the agricultural landscape of most developing countries, the last decade has witnessed the expansion of outsourced agricultural extension services. Private firms and nongovernmental organizations focused on delivering agricultural extension and advisory services to farmers have emerged.

Nonparametric Priors for Vectors of Survival Functions [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper proposes a new nonparametric prior for two–dimensional vectors of survival functions (S1, S2). The definition we introduce is based on the notion of L´evy copula and it will be used to model, in a nonparametric Bayesian framework, two–sample ...

Estimation of Nonparametric Conditional Moment Models With Possibly Nonsmooth Generalized Residuals [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper studies nonparametric estimation of conditional moment models in which the generalized residual functions can be nonsmooth in the unknown functions of endogenous variables. This is a nonparametric nonlinear instrumental variables (IV) problem.

The Challenge of Handling Structured Missingness in Integrated Data Sources

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
As data integration becomes ever more prevalent, a new research question that emerges is how to handle missing values that will inevitably arise in these large‐scale integrated databases? This missingness can be described as structured missingness, encompassing scenarios involving multivariate missingness mechanisms and deterministic, nonrandom ...

Testing for symmetric error distribution in nonparametric regression models [PDF]

open access: yes
For the problem of testing symmetry of the error distribution in a nonparametric regression model we propose as a test statistic the difference between the two empirical distribution functions of estimated residuals and their counterparts with opposite ...

AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...

Bandwidth selection for nonparametric kernel testing

open access: yes
We propose a sound approach to bandwidth selection in nonparametric kernel testing. The main idea is to find an Edgeworth expansion of the asymptotic distribution of the test concerned.
