- Variances, Incentives, and SFAS 151
- While globalization continues to shrink the world by integrating its economies, one necessary outcome appears to be the convergence of accounting standards. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS 151, Inventory Costs, which went into effect in June 2005 and aims to clarify how corporations account for abnormal amounts of idle...

- Affect control in international interactions.
- This research tests the proposition that national leaders generate international interactions in the process of maintaining sentiments about nations and international actions. The analysis deals with 1,934 international incidents in which one of 25 Middle Eastern nations responded twice within four weeks to an instigation by another of the 25...

- Evaluation of Different Mixed Model Nonlinear Functions on Pigs Fed Low-Nutrient Excretion Diets1
- Abstract Three nonlinear growth functions were evaluated on barrows (n=108) and gilts (n=105) fed diets designed to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous excretion. The pigs were weighed at birth and at approximate 14-d intervals from 62 to 147 d of age and then weekly to 190 d of age. Mixed models...

- A scale to measure college student relationship involvement
- The Relationship Involvement Scale was created to allow individuals to identify the degree to which they are involved in a relationship. The developed scale includes norms, reliability, and validity and was completed by a total of 306 undergraduates at two southern universities. While there were no significant differences between women...

- Defining sunflower selection strategies for a highly heterogeneous target population of environments.
- Genotype x environment G x E interactions can be a major impediment to genetic progress in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) breeding for Argentina. Previous studies revealed that northern and central environments show repeatable differences in genotype discrimination, suggesting some G x E interactions could be accommodated by selecting for specific...

- Spike and slab gene selection for multigroup microarray data.
- DNA microarrays can provide insight into genetic changes that characterize different stages of a disease process. Accurate identification of these changes has significant therapeutic and diagnostic implications. Statistical analysis for multistage multigroup data is challenging, however. ANOVA-based extensions of two-sample Z-tests, a popular method for detecting differentially expressed genes in...

- Bayesian nonparametric spatial modeling with Dirichlet process mixing.
- Customary modeling for continuous point-referenced data assumes a Gaussian process that is often taken to be stationary. When such models are fitted within a Bayesian framework, the unknown parameters of the process are assumed to be random, so a random Gaussian process results. Here we propose a novel spatial Dirichlet...

- Residual diagnostics for growth mixture models: examining the impact of a preventive intervention on multiple trajectories of aggressive behavior.
- Growth mixture modeling has become a prominent tool for studying the heterogeneity of developmental trajectories within a population. In this article we develop graphical diagnostics to detect misspecification in growth mixture models regarding the number of growth classes, growth trajectory means, and covariance structures. For each model misspecification, we propose...

- Relationships among agronomic traits and grain composition in oat genotypes grown in different environments.
- Genotype and environment are major determinants of plant phenotype. Economically important quantitative traits include agronomic characteristics and grain composition. This study examined relationships among agronomic traits and grain composition as influenced by genotype and environment. Thirty-three oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes were grown in three trials in Idaho (Aberdeen irrigated,...

- Testing quasi-independence of failure and truncation times via conditional Kendall's tau.(failure time)(left-truncation time)(right-truncation time)
- Truncated survival data arise when the failure time is observed only if it falls within a subject-specific truncating set. Most analysis methods rely on the key assumption of quasi-independence, that is, factorization of the joint density of failure and truncation times into a product proportional to the individual densities in...

- Two projection methods for use in the analysis of multivariate process data with an illustration in petrochemical production.
- Principal components analysis PCA is often used in the analysis of multivariate process data to identify important combinations of the original variables on which to focus for more detailed study. However, PCA and other related projection techniques from the standard multivariate repertoire are not explicitly designed...

- Simulating the effects of dominance and epistasis on selection response in the CIMMYT wheat breeding program using QuCim.(Crop Breeding, Genetics & Cytology)
- Plant breeders use many different breeding methods to develop superior cultivars. However, it is difficult, cumbersome, and expensive to evaluate the performance of a breeding method or to compare the efficiencies of different breeding methods within an ongoing breeding program. To facilitate comparisons, we developed a QU-GENE module called QuCim...

- The inflation-output variability trade-off: OECD evidence
- I. INTRODUCTION Earlier policy debates emphasized inflation-output trade-offs in levels, but the focus today is on the choice between the variability of inflation and the variability of output. Following the seminal work of Taylor (1979, 1993, 1994), it is now standard to express a central bank's objective as an...
