A categorical data analysis on relationships between culture, creativity and business stage: the case of Vietnam

Vuong, Quan Hoang; Napier, Nancy K.; Tran, Tri Dung - In: International Journal of Transitions and Innovation Systems 3 (2013) 1, pp. 4-24

In this paper, we offer a new way of exploring relationships between three different dimensions of a business operation, namely the stages of business development, the methods of creativity and the major cultural values. Although separately each of these has gained enormous attention from the...

Robust tests in generalized linear models with missing responses

Bianco, Ana M.; Boente, Graciela; Rodrigues, Isabel M. - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 65 (2013) C, pp. 80-97

In many situations, data follow a generalized linear model in which the mean of the responses is modelled, through a link function, linearly on the covariates. Robust estimators for the regression parameter in order to build test statistics for this parameter, when missing data occur in the...

Statistical inference and visualization in scale-space using local likelihood

Park, Cheolwoo; Huh, Jib - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 57 (2013) 1, pp. 336-348

SiZer (SIgnificant ZERo crossing of the derivatives) is a graphical scale-space visualization tool that allows for exploratory data analysis with statistical inference. Various SiZer tools have been developed in the last decade, but most of them are not appropriate when the response variable...

The Kumaraswamy distribution: median-dispersion re-parameterizations for regression modeling and simulation-based estimation

Mitnik, Pablo; Baek, Sunyoung - In: Statistical Papers 54 (2013) 1, pp. 177-192

The Kumaraswamy distribution is very similar to the Beta distribution, but has the important advantage of an invertible closed form cumulative distribution function. The parameterization of the distribution in terms of shape parameters and the lack of simple expressions for its mean and variance...

Taxes, Agglomeration Rents and Location Decisions of Firms

Crabbé, Karen; Bruyne, Karolien De - In: De Economist 161 (2013) 4, pp. 421-446

The goal of this paper is to analyze the individual impact of tax rates and agglomeration rents as well as their interaction on location decisions of manufacturing firms within Belgium. Theoretically, both location determinants may weaken each other’s impact. Using a unique 10-year dataset...
