This paper presents two score tests to determine a value for the Box–Cox transformation parameter. The test based on expected information performs better in small samples and is computationally simpler than the one based on observed information; therefore, the former is recommended.  2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

One of the major issues in the analysis of unemployment durations concerns the distinction between duration dependence of the exit rate out of unemployment and unobserved heterogeneity. Empirical studies rely heavily on functional form restrictions, which may be hazardous. We present a method for the nonparametric estimation of both phenomena. This method is designed to be applicable to aggrega...

In this paper we study the description of saturation in Balitsky, Jalilian-Marian, Iancu, McLerran, Weigert, Leonidov and Kovner (BJIMWLK) picture when restricted to observables made up only from dipole operators. We derive a functional form of the evolution equation for the dipole probability distribution and find a one-parameter family of exact solutions to the dipole evolution equations.

We say a countable model A has a 0-basis if the types realized in A are uniformly computable. We say A has a (d-)decidable copy if there exists a model B ∼= A such that the elementary diagram of B is (d-)computable. Goncharov, Millar, and Peretyat’kin independently showed there exists a homogeneous model A with a 0-basis but no decidable copy. We extend this result here. Let d ≤ 0′ be any low2 ...

Beam-beam deflection scan is a useful tool, both in the SLC and in future linear colliders, for extracting information about the beam position, .w size and luminosity. This technique poses nontrivial challenges to the instrumentation in its own right. The understanding of all aspects of beam-beam deflection, in particular that of disruption, is therefore crucial to a successful implementation o...

In this paper, Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and Timoshenko beam theories are implemented to analyze the bending vibration for non-uniform nano-beams.  The governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton’s principle. A Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is utilized for solving the governing equations of non-uniform Timoshenko nano-beam for pinned-pinned...
