In this paper, we study the estimation and inference problems for parameters when the data set is obtained by combining data from different sources. In the case where we want to estimate the means of random variables in our data set, we consider the set of estimators that are linear combinations of certain sample averages, and find that one estimator, defined to be the Adjusted estimator, that ...

This paper argues that credit frictions and asset trading costs signi cantly increase the probability of a Sudden Stop in the early stages of nancial globalization, and that this in turn, signi cantly alters the long-run external capital structure of emerging market economies. Upon opening the capital account, domestic agents have an incentive to accumulate debt and sell domestic equity in orde...

COMAIDE is a toolkit for user-system cooperation through joint multi-focal graph browsing. It supports cooperative force-directed layout management, concurrent with dialogue handling, for heterogeneous multi-layered 3D interactive diagrams. The layout manager's intu-itively`natural' animations of multi-layered 3D graph drawings support: 1. Cooperative tidying of user-manipulable 3D layout; 2. O...

In this study, we investigate an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wave event on 2010 February 11, which occurred as a limb from the Earth viewpoint and disk STEREO--B viewpoint. We use data obtained by Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in various EUV channels. The was launched partial prominence eruption. Similar to some events previous works, contains faster w...

In recent years, the convergence of computer vision and computer graphics has put forth free-viewpoint video as a new field of research. The goal is to advance traditional 2D video into an immersive medium that enables the viewer to interactively choose an arbitrary viewpoint in 3D space onto the a scene while it plays back. In this paper we give an overview of a system for reconstructing, rend...
