The main object of this research is to find out the nexus of banks' competition, ownership structure, and economic growth on credit risk and financial stability. In addition, it examines the level of financial stability, economic growth, and ownership structure in the Middle East and North...

In this paper, we present the computational procedure of the First-Order Model in Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in a new dimension. Firstly, we fit the First-Order Model to a 2k design by applying Yates' technique to calculate the sum of squares of main effects and their interactions....

Partial Least Squares as applied to models with latent variables, measured indirectly by indicators, is well-known to be inconsistent. The linear compounds of indicators that PLS substitutes for the latent variables do not obey the equations that the latter satisfy. We propose simple,...
