Purpose – This paper aims to identify key factors that impact operating room (OR) utilization and evaluate different scenarios on OR performance. Design/methodology/approach – Five months of data were collected. stepwise regression and best subset models were used to select factors and...

The objective of this study is to compare alternative computerized model-selection strategies in the context of the vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling framework. The focus is on a comparison of subset modeling strategies with the general-to-specific reduction approach automated by PcGets....

Unrestricted reduced form vector autoregressive (VAR) models have become a dominant research strategy in empirical macroeconomics since Sims (1980) critique of traditional macroeconometric modeling. They are however subjected to the curse of dimensionality. In this paper we propose...
