Survival models for life-time data and other time-to-event data are widely used in many fields, including medicine, the environmental sciences, engineering etc., but they have still found less recognition in economics, however they are very helpful in the analysis of economic duration data. This paper provides a reanalysis of the Pennsylvania Reemployment Bonus Experiments, which were conducted...

Our ultimate concern is the mapping between representations in the Language of Thought (in the sense of Fodor 1975) and representations at LF in some version of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995). We argue on a variety of grounds that such a mapping is direct and that both these levels of representation must meet the (same) condition of compositionality. We argue that Copy theory, in particu...

In this paper we present the results of a reanalysis of a study of factors that influence the success of software process improvement [6]. The initial report relied on simple statistical analytic methods, largely univariate and bivariate statistics. The current multivariate analysis replicates the basic results of the earlier study, while adding additional insights about the interactions among ...

Snow albedo feedback is one of the most crucial feedback processes that control equilibrium climate sensitivity, which is a central parameter for better prediction of future climate change. However, persistent large discrepancies and uncertainties are found in snow albedo feedback estimations. Remotely sensed snow cover products, atmospheric reanalysis data and radiative kernel data are used in...

The present research investigated the influence ot multiple sequential primes on social categorization processes. Study 1 examined an evaluative decision task in which targets were preceded and succeeded by two primes. As expected, the temporally closest forward primes had assimilative effects on target processing. Moreover, if the temporally closest forward prime and the target were congruent,...

Doppler LiDARs have become flexible and versatile remote sensing devices for wind energy applications. The possibility to measure radial wind speed components contemporaneously at multiple distances is an advantage with respect to meteorological masts. However, these measurements must be filtered due to the measurement geometry, hard targets and atmospheric conditions. To ensure a maximum data ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a radiosonde which can measure the meteorological temperature, humidity, pressure, and other atmospheric data. The system is composed of a CPU, microwave module, temperature sensor, pressure sensor and humidity sensor array. In order to effectively solve the humidity sensor condensation problem due to the low temperatures in the high altitud...
