Dealing With Zeros in Economic Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Zeros frequently appear in economic data. Zeros in economic data come from different sources and the source affects the choice of an estimator. This paper surveys the literature on dealing with zeros from the perspective of an applied economist, discusses alternative estimators, and offers some illustrative examples.

Hurdle, Inflated Poisson and Inflated Negative Binomial Regression Models for Analysis of Count Data with Extra Zeros
In this paper, we propose Hurdle regression models for analysing count responses with extra zeros. A method of estimating maximum likelihood is used to estimate model parameters. The application of the proposed model is presented in insurance dataset. In this example, there are many numbers of claims equal to zero is considered that clarify the application of the model with a zero-inflat...
متن کاملReducing Overhead in Sparse Hypermatrix Cholesky Factorization
The sparse hypermatrix storage scheme produces a recursive 2D partitioning of a sparse matrix. Data subblocks are stored as dense matrices. Since we are dealing with sparse matrices some zeros can be stored in those dense blocks. The overhead introduced by the operations on zeros can become really large and considerably degrade performance. In this paper, we present several techniques for reduc...
متن کاملInequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with $S$-fold zeros at the origin
Let $p(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ and for a complex number $alpha$, let $D_{alpha}p(z)=np(z)+(alpha-z)p'(z)$ denote the polar derivative of the polynomial p(z) with respect to $alpha$. Dewan et al proved that if $p(z)$ has all its zeros in $|z| leq k, (kleq 1),$ with $s$-fold zeros at the origin then for every $alphainmathbb{C}$ with $|alpha|geq k$, begin{align*} max_{|z|=...
متن کاملCOMPUTATION OF THE ZEROS OF p-ADIC ¿FUNCTIONS. II
The authors have carried out a computational study of the zeros of Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions. Results of this study have appeared recently in a previous article. The present paper is a sequel to that article, dealing with the computation of the zeros under certain conditions that complicate the original situation.
متن کاملSome compact generalization of inequalities for polynomials with prescribed zeros
Let $p(z)=z^s h(z)$ where $h(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n-s$ having all its zeros in $|z|geq k$ or in $|z|leq k$. In this paper we obtain some new results about the dependence of $|p(Rz)|$ on $|p(rz)| $ for $r^2leq rRleq k^2$, $k^2 leq rRleq R^2$ and for $Rleq r leq k$. Our results refine and generalize certain well-known polynomial inequalities.
