We use a Monte Carlo experiment to compare the quadratic and translog functional forms in terms of their ability to approximate known frontiers that possess convex curvature. Unlike some of the existing simulation studies that have studied this topic, we find that both functional forms provide a...

The paper examines the effect of the solar chimney’s stack height, depth, width and inlet position on the interior performance (air temperature and speed at 1.20 m height above the ground) as well as proposes an optimal tropical solar chimney design. Simulations show that the output air...

This paper deals with the Bayesian analysis of graphical models of marginal independence for three way contingency tables. Each marginal independence model corresponds to a particular factorization of the cell probabilities and a conjugate analysis based on Dirichlet prior can be performed. We...
