Testing Nonlinearity: Decision Rules for Selecting between Logis Tic and Exponential Star Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces new LM specification procedures to choose between Logistic and Exponential Smooth Transition Autoregressive (ST AR) models and to improve testing for nonlinearities. The selection procedures introduced here are simpler and have better consistency and power properties than those previously available in the literature. These improvements result from analyzing the properties ofthe Taylor approximations to the transition function. Monte-CarIo and empirical evidence are provided in support of the new procedures.

Selecting an appropriate particle size distribution (PSD) model for a particular soil may be important for a precise estimation of soil hydraulic properties. Various models have been proposed for describing soil PSDs. The objective of this study was to compare the quality of fitting of eight PSD models (Fredlund, Gompertz, van Genuchten, Jaki, Logarithmic, Exponential, Logarithmic-Exponential a...
متن کاملSelf-Organization Concepts for the Information- and Communication Layer of Autonomous Logis- tic Processes
As described in Chapter XX on Historical Autonomy in ICT, self-organisation is a well-known concept in information-and communication technology. In this chapter we will show how self-organisation can be employed in the Information-and Communication Layer of Autonomous Logistic Processes. Especially the concepts Autonomic Communication, Autonomic Computing and Self-Star, already mentioned in Cha...

متن کاملSpreading speed and traveling waves for the diffusive logis- tic equation with a sedentary compartment
By applying the theory of asymptotic speeds of spread and traveling waves to the diffusive logistic equation with a sedentary compartment, we establish the existence of minimal wave speed for monotone traveling waves and show that it coincides with the spreading speed for solutions with initial functions having compact supports.
