Default Priors in a Zero-Inflated Poisson Distribution: Intrinsic Versus Integral Priors

open access: yesMathematics
Prior elicitation is an important issue in both subjective and objective Bayesian frameworks, where prior distributions impose certain information on parameters before data are observed.

Zero-inflated stochastic volatility model for disaggregated inflation data with exact zeros

open access: yes
The disaggregated time-series for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) often exhibits exact zero price changes, stemming from structural features of the data collection process. However, the currently prominent stochastic volatility model of trend-inflation is designed for aggregate measures of price inflation, where zeros rarely occur.

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

The optimal inflation buffer with a zero bound on nominal interest rates

open access: yes, 2005
This paper characterizes the optimal inflation buffer consistent with a zero lower bound on nominal interest rates in a New Keynesian sticky-price model. It is shown that a purely forward-looking version of the model that abstracts from inflation inertia

Quantitative easing: a rationale and some evidence from Japan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper reviews the rationale for quantitative easing when central bank policy rates reach near zero levels in light of recent announcements regarding direct asset purchases by the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the U.S.

Moderate inflation [PDF]

open access: yes
Inflation persists at moderate rates (15-30 percent) in all the countries that successfully reduced triple-digit inflation in the 1980s. Several other countries--for example, Colombia--have experienced moderate inflation for prolonged periods.

Application of zero-inflated Poisson model with heterogeneous random effects to evaluate the effect of oral health education on pregnant women’s dental caries: A longitudinal experimental study

open access: yesDental Research Journal
Background: Pregnant women have poor knowledge of oral hygiene during pregnancy. One problem with the follow-up of dental caries in this group is zero accumulation in the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index, for which some models must be used

Monetary policy at the zero lower bound. Geldpolitik an der Null-Zins-Grenze

open access: yesEesti Majanduspoliitilised Väitlused, 2015
Both interest rates and inflation rates in the Euro area have reached levels dangerously close to zero. By the strategy of quantitative easing the ECB has been providing ample liquidity – yet without lasting success.

Tests for zero-inflation and overdispersion

open access: yes, 2008
We propose a new methodology to detect zero-inflation and overdispersion based on the comparison of the expected sample extremes among convexly ordered distributions. The method is very flexible and includes tests for the proportion of structural zeros in zero-inflated models, tests to distinguish between two ordered parametric families and a new ...
