We argue in this paper that it is more feasible to use binary variables and logistic regression analyses in the assessments of AIDS incidents o or other similar researches in social science. Thus, even in measuring disease persistence we can reach solid and comprehensive results. Statistical...

Effective service marketing is a complex activity that involves many different strategies, skills, tasks and activities. Customers perceive services in terms of quality of the service and how satisfied they are overall with their experiences. It will be easier for the marketers if they know what...

Inflation expectations are a key determinant of actual and future inflation and thus matter for the conduct of monetary policy. We study how firms form their inflation expectations using quarterly firm-level data from the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey, spanning the 2001 to 2015...

As the French government has adopted a large broadband development strategy mainly trough FTTH technologies, estimating the demand for broadband is necessary from a policy recommendation perspective. This paper uses data from a nationwide survey conducted yearly between 2007 and 2017 to analyze...

Survival analysis problems have elsewhere been recast as problems in logistic regression, after the event times were grouped into intervals. Here we discuss the opposite connection: how binary logistic regression can be viewed fruitfully as a special case of accelerated failure time models in...

Consumer products and services can often be described as mixtures of ingredients. Examples are the mixture of ingredients in a cocktail and the mixture of different components of waiting time (e.g., in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle travel time) in a transportation setting. Choice experiments may...

Inflation expectations are a key determinant of actual and future inflation and thus matter for the conduct of monetary policy. We study how firms form their inflation expectations using quarterly firm-level data from the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey, spanning the 2001 to 2015...

The purpose of this paper was to apply the econometric models with qualitative variables in order to analyze two non academic behaviors at the level of the Romanian higher education system: cheating on the exams by copying or by direct or intermediary intervention at the professor

This paper studies the use of a discrete instrumental variable to identify the causal effect of a endogenous, mis-measured, binary treatment. We begin by showing that the only existing identification result for this case, which appears in Mahajan (2006), is incorrect. As such, identification in...

This paper focuses the development of the diagnostics for the perturbations of case-weights and explanatory variables (one or more) in a linear logistic regression model. The effect of specific perturbation scheme on the estimation of parameters is also assessed. In addition, the interpretation...
