Sharpe style regression has become a widespread analytic tool in the financial community. The style regression allows one to investigate such interesting issues as style composition, style sensitivity, and style change over time. All previous methods to obtain the distribution and confidence intervals of the style coefficients are statistically valid only in the special case in which none of th...

To ensure that HIV prevention programs and care services reach and are effective among racial and ethnic minority youth, it is important to monitor the epidemic and understand the behaviors both of youth at risk for HIV infection and of those who are already infected.

Abstract Background Recently, South Dakota Department of Game, Fish, and Parks (SDGFP), has undertaken a suite rigorous acoustic telemetry studies. The goals scope the individual research projects vary but all use same receiver array throughout Lake Sharpe in central Dakota. Prior to initiating studies, we sought describe detection probability receivers from representation habitats within Sharp...
