Abstract Meta-analysis, the statistical analysis of results from separate studies, is a fundamental building block science. But assumptions classical meta-analysis models are not satisfied whenever publication bias present, which causes inconsistent parameter estimates. Hedges’ selection function model takes into account, but estimating and inferring with this tough for some datasets. Using gen...

This study presents a new approach for physical and material modeling of space frame-raft-soil system. The physical modeling consists of a modified Thimoshenko beam bending element with six degrees of freedom per node to model the beams and columns of the superstructure, a modified Mindlin's plate bending element with five degrees of freedom per node to represent the structural slabs and raft, ...

The infinite Darcy-Prandtl number model is an effective reduced model for describing convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium. It is well known that the deterministic model does not possess a unique invariant measure. In this work we study the dynamics of the infinite Darcy-Prandtl number model, under an additive stochastic forcing of its low modes. This is the so-called stochastic infinit...

Ploberger and Phillips (Econometrica, Vol. 71, pp. 627–673, 2003) proved a result that provides a bound on how close a fitted empirical model can get to the true model when the model is represented by a parameterized probability measure on a finite dimensional parameter space. The present note extends that result to cases where the parameter space is infinite dimensional. The results have impli...

Ploberger and Phillips (2003) proved a result that provides a bound on how close a fitted empirical model can get to the true model when the model is represented by a parameterized probability measure on a finite dimensional parameter space. The present note extends that result to cases where the parameter space is infinite dimensional. The results have implications for model choice in infinite...

While the classical account of the linear continuum takes it to be a totality of points, which are its ultimate parts, Aristotle conceives of it as continuous and infinitely divisible, without ultimate parts. A formal account of this conception can be given employing a theory of quantification for nonatomic domains and a theory of region-based topology.

In this comment, I extend Cavalcanti and Nosal’s (2010) framework to include the case of perfectly divisible money and unrestricted money holdings. I show that when trade takes place in Walrasian markets, counterfeits circulate and the Friedman rule is still optimal.
