Entrepreneurs typically live with the ever present threat of business failure arising from limited financial resources and aggressive competition in the marketplace. Under these circumstances, conflicting priorities arise and the entrepreneur is thus faced with certain dilemmas. In seeking to...

With the increasing penetration levels of intermittent and fluctuating energy sources such as wind generating systems in the electricity grid, resulting voltage fluctuations and flicker can be expected to become an important power quality considerations. Due to significant bidirectional power...

Maximum quasi-likelihood estimation is investigated for the NEAR(2) model, an autoregressive time series model with marginal exponential distributions. In certain regions of the parameter space, simulations indicate that maximum quasi-likelihood estimators perform better than two-stage...
