This study investigates the causal relationship between economic growth, energy consumption and CO2 emission in Australia using time series data for the period of 1965–2007. Johansen cointegration technique is employed to examine the long run relationship between economic growth, energy...

In this paper we propose shrinkage preliminarytest estimator (SPTE) of the coefficient vector in the multiplelinear regression model based on the size corrected Wald (W),likelihood ratio (LR) and Lagrangian multiplier (LM) tests.The correction factors used are those obtained from degrees...

The estimation of the slope parameter of two linear regression models with normal errors are considered, when it is suspected that the two lines are parallel. The uncertain prior information about the equality of slopes is presented by a null hypothesis and a coefficient of distrust on the null...

In Bayesian approach of statistical analyses we incorporate the prior information about the parameter of the model with the observed data. This prior information is in the form of a prior distribution of the parameter. If the prior information is available as a constant value of the parameter...
