The construction of a multivariate two sample test is considered. An attractive approach to this problem, for instance when the data contain missing values or the number of variables is large, is to form an overall test by combining the componentwise test statistics. This can be done via their...

Recent technological and theoretical advances have helped produce a wide variety of computer models for simulating future urban land-use change. However, implementing these models is often cost prohibitive due to intensive data-collection requirements and complex technical implementation. There...
