Cox, Nicholas J. - In: Stata Journal 4 (2004) 1, pp. 66-88

Graphing univariate distributions is central to both statistical graphics, in general, and StataÕs graphics, in particular. Now that Stata 8 is out, a review of official and user-written commands is timely. The emphasis here is on going beyond what is obviously and readily available, with...

Implementing interactive computing in an object-oriented environment

Udina, Frederic - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 1999

Statistical computing when input/output is driven by a Graphical User Interface is considered. A proposal is made for automatic control of computational flow to ensure that only strictly required computations are actually carried on. The computational flow is modeled by a directed graph for...

Measuring the stability of histogram appearance when the anchor position is changed

Simonoff, Jeffrey S.; Udina, Frederic - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 1995

constructed histogram for a given bin width can change markedly for different choices of anchor position. In this paper we … width as the anchor position changes. If a particular bin width choice leads to an unstable appearance, the arbitrary choice … of any one anchor position is dangerous, and a different bin width should be considered. The index is based on the …

On a statistical method to detect discontinuity in the distribution function of reported earnings

Takeuchi, Yoshiyuki - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 64 (2004) 1, pp. 103-111

In the study of earnings management, researchers attempt to know the reason managers manipulate earnings of a company. Some preceding studies have focused on the distribution of reported earnings, and they treat the evidence of manipulation on earnings as discontinuity (at most cases around zero...
