In this paper, the authors use the concept of the population Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve to build analytic models of ROC curves. Information about the population properties can be used to gain greater accuracy of estimation relative to the non-parametric methods currently in...

Methanol decomposition over alkali-leached Ni3Sn powder at 513–793 K was investigated. Compared with untreated Ni3Sn, alkali-leached Ni3Sn had high catalytic activity and selectivity toward H2 and CO production above 633 K. A maximum H2 production rate of...

In this paper, the authors use the concept of the population ROC curve to build analytic models of ROC curves. Information about the population properties can be used to gain greater accuracy of estimation relative to the non-parametric methods currently in vogue. If used properly this is...

The purpose of this paper is to use UK pension funds asset allocation information to model the risk attitude of the representative UK pension fund investor. Unlike the previous literature on loss aversion, we find that UK pension funds display risk aversion with respect to gains and to losses....
