Factorial designs and the theory of trade-off

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1992
Abstract We consider a method to construct factorial designs with all factors at two levels and with an information matrix, pertaining to a specified model, that is equal to the information matrix for a given design. The method is based on a relation between this problem and the problem of trade-off in block designs.

Risk changes and external financing activities: Tests of the dynamic trade-off theory of capital structure

Journal of Empirical Finance, 2019
We provide new insight into the relevance of the dynamic trade-off theory of capital structure by examining firms’ external financing activities following risk changes.

Expanding population edges: theories, traits, and trade‐offs

Global Change Biology, 2016
AbstractRecent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic features, spatial processes, and selective pressures can result in the accumulation and evolution of distinctive phenotypic traits at the leading edges of expansions.

Trade-Off and Pecking Order Theories of Debt

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
Taxes, bankruptcy costs, transactions costs, adverse selection, and agency conflicts have all been advocated as major explanations for the corporate use of debt financing. These ideas have often been synthesized into the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory of leverage. These theories and the related evidence are reviewed in this survey.

Theory of designing the gradient microstructured metals for overcoming strength-ductility trade-off

, 2020
Gradient microstructure design has been found to be an effective approach to significantly produce the utmost advanced structural metallic materials, which have a signature in mechanical characteristic of strength-ductility-hardenability combination.

The Trade-Off Theory and the Pecking Order Theory: Are They Mutually Exclusive?

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
The main purpose of this study is to simultaneously examine the pecking order and trade-off theories of capital structure and determine which one performs better for a sample of US firms. Our empirical models, which allow the financing coefficient and the rate of adjustment to vary with the firms' characteristics, provide evidence that the trade-off ...

Cognitive trade-offs in scientific theorizing as an aspect of cognitivism in information science (the theory of cognitive trade-offs)

Научно-техническая информация. Серия 1: Организация и методика информационной работы, 2023
Концепция «когнитивных компромиссов» рассматривается в качестве одного из базовых построений, на которых основывается новое научное направление - когнитивная информатика, развиваемое автором. Вводится понятие «научная парадоксальность» как фактор, присущий исследовательской сфер и являющийся одновременно условием её дальнейшего развития.

The geometric theory of adaptive evolution: trade-off and invasion plots

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2005
The purpose of this paper is to take an entirely geometrical path to determine the evolutionary properties of ecological systems subject to trade-offs. In particular we classify evolutionary singularities in a geometrical fashion. To achieve this, we study trade-off and invasion plots (TIPs) which show graphically the outcome of evolution from the ...

Trade-Offs in the Study of Culture and Development: Theories, Methods, and Values

Child Development, 2000
Abstract The commentators are unanimous in their support for our general orientation to culture and development, and for the pathways we have identified, and they suggest ways to enrich our approach to theory, methods, and values. We view their main suggestions as relating to trade-offs: between theories that highlight generalizations

Statistical decision theory and trade-offs in the control of motor response

Spatial Vision, 2003
We present a novel approach to the modeling of motor responses based on statistical decision theory. We begin with the hypothesis that subjects are ideal motion planners who choose movement trajectories to minimize expected loss. We derive predictions of the hypothesis for movement in environments where contact with specified regions carries rewards or
