This study provides a decision framework to analyze optimal production diversification decisions under uncertainty for a farmer who is risk averse in the Arrow-Pratt sense and downside risk averse. The decision model accounts for the third central moment of the joint distribution of portfolio...

Purpose This paper aims to introduce and demonstrate a new model for service quality that separates out the measurement of service quality in ways grounded in psychological theory and methodological symmetry. Design/methodology/approach A review of experience in service quality management...

The J–V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell can be represented as a simple explicit form of vη+jξ=1, here the normalized voltage, v and normalized current density j can be represented as v = V/Voc and j = J/Jsc respectively, where Voc is the open circuit voltage and Jsc is the...

(WP 04/03 Clave pdf) Thurstone´s (1927) is not a proper model for multiple judgment paired comparison data as it assigns zero probabilities to all intransitive patterns. To obtain a proper model, Takane (1987) extended Thurstone´s model by adding a vector of pair specific random errors. We...
