This paper compares the finite sample performance of the canonical correlation regression estimator (CCR) and Stock and Watson's (A simple estimator of cointegration vectors in higher order integrated systems, Econometrica, 1993, 61(4), 783-820) dynamic ordinary least squares estimator (DOLS) using the models proposed by Inder (Journal of Econometrics, 1993, 57, 53-68). The CCR estimator shows ...

One of the most serious principles in production theory in economic is the principle of "efficiency". Simply put, efficiency can be defined as the demand that the desired goals (outputs) are achieved with the minimum use of the available resources (inputs). In order to, distinguish the relative efficiency of organizational units with multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs, "Data Envelopmen...

Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) represents one of the major sources uncertainty in many financial contracts. The role credit value adjustment (CVA) is, fact, that rewarding parties for exposure to such risk. A key driver CVA is recovery risk, generated by variability rates. In this paper, we develop a framework assess CCR accounting risk arises from introduction stochastic Adopting structural mo...

Lignin quantity and composition are major components of wood quality in eucalypts breeding programs. Optimizing these traits can have a huge economical impact for charcoal and pulp production. However, little is known about the genetic determinism of these traits. Our objective is to establish efficient early selection criteria to identify ideotypes for these traits using gene based markers. To...

Introdução: O carcinoma de células renais (CCR) representa 80 a 90% todos os cânceres com pico incidência entre 60–70 anos idade. Os três sintomas mais comuns são hematúria, dor flanco e massa flanco. A melhor opção tratamento para doenças crônicas é o transplante renal. doença renal crônica um dos fatores risco CCR. maioria casos diagnosticada após renal; diagnóstico durante trabalho em pacien...

Recently, it has been observed [Md. Nurujjaman, Phy. Rev. E 80, 015201(R) (2009)] that in an excitable system, one can maintain noise-induced coherency in the coherence resonance by blocking the destructive effect of the noise on the system at higher noise level. This phenomenon of constant coherence resonance (CCR) cannot be explained by the existing way of simulation of the model equations of...

In this paper, we will propose a Slacks-Based measure (SBM) of efficiency in DEA. This scalar measure deals directly with the input surplus and the output shortage of the decision making unit (DMU) concerned. It is unit invariant and monotone decreasing with respect to input surplus and output shortage. Furthermore, this measure is decided only by consulting with the reference set of the DMU an...

The amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (Cam/Ccr ratio) was determined in 239 subjects. In 87 hospitalised patients without pancreatic disease (controls) the Cam/Ccr ratio was 3.02 +/- 0.69 (mean +/- ISD). The ratio was above the normal range in all patients with acute pancreatitis but was normal in those with chronic pancreatitis and carcinoma of the pancreas. In 18 patients with choledocholith...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the best-known efficiency evaluation methods due to its advantages in selection of weights. Many research papers have extensively discussed the issue of weight restrictions, rather than those implied in the model itself. However, this often leads to a failure to represent the relations of certain weights, as well as underestimation of the efficiency of ...
