Technical Efficiency of Nigerian Insurance Companies: A Data Envelopment Analysis and Latent Growth Curve Modelling Approach
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of Nigerian insurance companies using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Because of the unavailability of the required data, the study is limited to ten Nigerian insurance companies for the period of five years from 2008 to 2012. The input employed were commission expenses and management expenses, while premium and investment income...

متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: A Survey*
Latent variable modelling has gradually become an integral part of mainstream statistics and is currently used for a multitude of applications in different subject areas. Examples of ‘traditional’ latent variable models include latent class models, item–response models, common factor models, structural equation models, mixed or random effects models and covariate measurement error models. Altho...
متن کاملRainfall Modelling Using a Latent Gaussian Variable
A monotonic transformation is applied to hourly rainfall data to achieve marginal normality. This deenes a latent Gaussian variable, with zero rainfall corresponding to censored values below a threshold. Autocor-relations of the latent v ariable are estimated by maximum likelihood. The goodness of t of the model to Edinburgh rainfall data is comparable with that of existing point process models...
متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: Old and New Approaches
To find he precursor of contemporary latent variable modelling one must go back to the beginning of the 20th century and Charles Spearman’s invention of factor analysis. This was followed, half a century later, by latent class and latent trait analysis and, from the 1960’s onwards, by covariance structure analysis. The most recent additions to the family have been in the area of time series. We...
