We uncover a connection between two seemingly unrelated notions: lettericity, from structural graph theory, and geometric griddability, the world of permutation patterns. Both these notions capture important properties their respective classes objects. prove that are equivalent in sense class is geometrically griddable if only corresponding inversion graphs has bounded lettericity.

Seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) models traditionally appear in econometrics but recently also emerged in likelihood factorizations of Gaussian graphical models. The literature on maximum likelihood estimation in SUR seems not to mention the possibility of a multimodallikelihood. \eVe want to increase the awareness of this phenomenon by a thorough study of a two-equation model illustrated b...

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate models for predicting the carcass composition of lambs. Forty male lambs were slaughtered and their carcasses were cooled for 24 hours. The subcutaneous fat thickness was measured between the 12th and 13th rib and breast bone tissue thickness was taken in the middle of the second sternebrae. Left side of carcasses was dissected and the proportio...

In this article, we present estimates of regional softwood lumber supply functions in the United States using annual time series data for 1959 to 2009. Seemingly unrelated regression is used in a profit maximization framework to model softwood lumber supply as a function of lumber and stumpage prices, lagged supply, wage rate, and interest rate for the eastern and western United States. The eff...

BACKGROUND. In many studies with longitudinal data, time-dependent covariates can only be measured intermittently (not at all observation times), and this presents difficulties for standard statistical analyses. This situation is common in medical studies, and methods that deal with this challenge would be useful. METHODS. In this study, we performed the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) bas...

Plant receptor-like kinases characterised by leucine-rich repeats have been shown to play dual roles in seemingly unrelated biological processes, inviting comparison with TOLL-like receptors of animals.

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate models for predicting the carcass composition of lambs. Forty male lambs of two different breeds were included in our analysis. The lambs were slaughtered and their hot carcass weight was obtained. After cooling for 24 hours, the subcutaneous fat thickness was measured between the 12th and 13th rib and the total breast bone tissue thickness was ...
