The first hitting time of a boundary or threshold by the sample path stochastic process is central concept regression models for survival data analysis. Regression functions and parameters in these are multivariate combinations explanatory variates. under investigation may be univariate process. processes interest to us this report those that possess stationary independent increments (i.e., Lév...

Investigating the Eeffects of Factors on Capital Adequacy Ratio in Islamic Banking System Iran and Malaysia by Threshold Regression Approach

This paper investigates the impact of government size on economic growth in selected economies of the MENA countries by using a non-linear panel data approach over the period 1990-2011. The estimation results of Panel Smooth Threshold Regression model show that when the level of government consumption is very large, the positive impact of labor force on growth is intensified. On the other hand,...

for K linear regressions. The support union of K p-dimensional regression vectors (collected as columns of matrix B∗) is recovered using l1/l2-regularized Lasso. Sufficient and necessary conditions on sample complexity are characterized as a sharp threshold to guarantee successful recovery of the support union. This model has been previously studied via l1/l∞regularized Lasso by Negahban & Wain...

Purpose It has been shown that threshold estimates below approximately 20 dB have little effect on the ability to detect visual field progression in glaucoma. We aimed to compare stimulus size V to stimulus size III, in areas of visual damage, to confirm these findings by using (1) a different dataset, (2) different techniques of progression analysis, and (3) an analysis to evaluate the effect ...

The new diagnostic threshold of hemoglobin A(1c) was made based on evidence from cross-sectional studies, and no longitudinal study supports its validity. To examine whether hemoglobin A(1c) of 6.5% or higher defines a threshold for elevated risk of incident retinopathy, we analyzed longitudinal data of 19,897 Japanese adults who underwent a health checkup in 2006 and were followed up 3 years l...

2-D threshold function f is a function defined on the integer interior of a rectangular area [0, m] × [0, n] on a plane and takes values from the set {0, 1} such that there is a straight line separating the pre-images f −1 (0) and f −1 (1). For the number of such functions only asymptotic bounds were known. We give an exact formula for the number of 2-D threshold functions and derive an asympto...
