This paper investigates the generalized parametric measurement methods of aggregate operational risk in compliance with the regulatory capital standards for operational risk in the New Basel Capital Accord ("Basel II"). Operational risk is commonly defined as the risk of loss resulting from...

Connections between Statistics and Archaeology have always appeared very fruitful. The objective of this paper is to offer an outlook of some statistical techniques that are being developed in the most recent years and that can be of interest for archaeologists in the short run.

"This paper illustrates the effects of item-nonresponse in surveys on the results of multivariate statistical analysis when estimation of productivity is the task. To multiply impute the missing data a data augmentation algorithm based on a normal/Wishart model is applied. Data of the German IAB...

Der ökologische Landbau wächst weltweit: während sich die wachsende Nachfrage (noch) in Industrieländern konzentriert, findet die Produktion von Öko-Produkten (auch) in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern statt und entwickelt sich dynamisch. Diese Veränderungen sind international heterogen...

Arguments about using computer facilities to classroom teaching have gained a lot of attention over time. Using the computer facilities will be helpful to demonstrate real world applications, while poor data or inappropriate case studies might reduce the confidence in applying computer programs...

In choosing a bidding strategy, the original multivariate approach cannot handle a more general and usual bidding situation when the mean value of the bid price for the strategic bidder is not zero. This problem is solved by extending the original approach, assuming that the cost estimate is...
