Sources for Statistical Data on Flexible Work Arrangements
Boots, Shelley Waters; Danziger, Anna - 2008
From the Department of Labor, the best survey for flexibility data comes from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of 60,000 households that provides data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, and persons not in the labor force.The benefit of the CPS is that...

Goodness-of-fit in hierarchical logistic regression models
Sturdivant, Rodney X - 2005
unweighted sums of squares, Pearson residual and Hosmer-Lemeshow statistics at various levels of the hierarchical model. Our … results suggest such statistics do not offer reasonable performance in the hierarchical logistic model in terms of Type I … error rates. We also develop Kernel smoothed versions of the statistics using level one residuals and a modified unweighted …

Correction methods, approximate biases, and inference for misclassified data
Shieh, Meng-Shiou - 2009
When categorical data are misplaced into thewrong category, we say the data is affected by misclassification. This is common for data collection. It is well-known that naive estimators of category probabilities and coefficients for regression that ignore misclassification can be biased. In this...

A study on forecasting high-frequency time series with multiple seasonal patterns
Baek, Moonyoung - 2008
The present study aimed to examine the forecasting performance of various univariate approaches to forecast high-frequency time series which contains more than one seasonal pattern in hourly data. To achieve the purpose of the study, we performed the following procedures with major findings....

Covariate adjustment, model misspecification, and goodness-of-fit in logistic regression
Bucher, Annette M - 1997
misspecification often result in small changes in the discrepancy measures. The results suggest that statistics measuring lack of fit … than the other two statistics, but that it can only distinguish between highly different levels of model fit. …

Evolutionary algorithms for statistics and finance
Karavas, Vassilios N - 2003
Several models in econometrics and finance have been proven to be computationally intractable due to their complexity. In this dissertation, we propose an evolutionary-genetic-algorithm for solving these types of problems. We extend the models so that less restrictive assumptions are required...

Does Capital Punishment Save Lives? An Examination of the Deterrent Effect of Capital Punishment
Nguyen-Thanh, Mai-khoi - 2008
This paper employs fixed and random effects regressions to analyze panel data from the 50 states and Washington, D.C., between the years of 1980 and 2005, to estimate the relationship between the death penalty and homicide rate, and the degree to which this relationship affects crime outcomes....

The Mixed Economy of Child Care: An Institutional Analysis of Nonprofit, For-Profit, and Public Enterprises
Bushouse, Brenda K. - 1999
"Nonprofit theory predicts nonprofit enterprises will be more trustworthy than for-profit enterprises in the delivery of goods for which quality is difficult to determine because nonprofit enterprises are legally required to reinvest all profits back into the enterprise. Theoretically, consumers...
