Production efficiency in agriculture in Nigeria: Do migrant remittances matter? [PDF]
Ekonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2020 This paper investigates how remittances flow to Nigeria from household migrants affect farm production efficiency of the left behind in rural areas.

RSD: An R package to calculate stochastic dominance
SoftwareXStochastic dominance is a classical method for comparing two random variables using their probability distribution functions. As for all stochastic orders, stochastic dominance does not always establish an order between the random variables, and almost ...

An integrated framework of spatiotemporal dynamics of binocular rivalry
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011 Fluctuations in perceptual dominance during binocular rivalry exhibit several hallmark characteristics. First, dominance switches are not periodic but, instead, stochastic: perception changes unpredictably.

Statistica, 2022 In this note we find the UMVUE and a consistent estimator of the stress strength reliability of a system, whose strength stochastically dominates the stress.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

IPO Performance and Stochastic Dominance
The Journal of Entrepreneurial FinanceWe examine the performance of initial public offerings (IPO) using a stochastic dominance approach that captures investors’ preferences for higher moments of the returns distribution. Using a comprehensive sample of 6,671 IPOs in the U.S.

Conditional Stochastic Dominance Testing [PDF]
Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2013 This article proposes bootstrap-based stochastic dominance tests for nonparametric conditional distributions and their moments. We exploit the fact that a conditional distribution dominates the other if and only if the difference between the marginal joint distributions is monotonic in the explanatory variable at each value of the dependent variable ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

An Alternative Condition for Stochastic Domination [PDF]
Journal of Applied Probability, 2009 We will propose an alternative condition for stochastic domination. This condition differs in an essential way from the strong likelihood ratio property. We also show an example which satisfies the new condition, but does not satisfy the strong likelihood ratio property.
