A particular semiparametric model of interest is the generalized partial linear model (GPLM) which allows a nonparametric modeling of the influence of the continuous covariables. The paper reviews different estimation procedures based on kernel methods and test procedures on the correct...

Changing product quality poses a challenge for the computation of price indexes, in particular in technologically advanced industries. We assess the differences between traditional and quality-corrected indexes by computing hedonic and matched-model price indexes for personal computer database...

This study assesses the quality of seven commercial project management systems to perform finite scheduling. We give a brief survey of the way commercial project management systems work and especially how they perform finite scheduling. Since the implemented methods are proprietary, we measure...

This contribution defines an instance generator for capacitated, dynamic, multi-level lot sizing problems. It provides sophisticated methods for generating systematically varied parameter level combinations automatically. This helps to perform evaluations of lot sizing methods according to a...

Dieses Buch ist die bislang einzige deutschsprachige Einführung in das Statistikprogramm Stata und zugleich das einzige Buch über Stata, das auch Anfängern eine ausreichende Erklärung der Datenanalysetechnik liefert. Aus dem Inhalt: Zu diesem Buch. ""Das erste Mal"". Arbeiten mit Do-Files....
