In this paper uniform consistency of estimators obtained from kernel based local linear estimating equations is obtained. Furthermore it is shown that the rate of convergence is at least n for a suitable choice of bandwidth. These result are used to find asymptotic results for the integral of the estimator. As an application we consider an “inverse probability of missingness reweighted estimati...

It is common in phylogenetics to have some, perhaps partial, information about the overall evolutionary tree of a group of organisms and wish to find an evolutionary tree of a specific gene for those organisms. There may not be enough information in the gene sequences alone to accurately reconstruct the correct “gene tree.” Although the gene tree may deviate from the “species tree” due to a var...

BACKGROUND The motor system has the remarkable ability not only to learn but also to learn how fast it should learn. However, the mechanisms behind this ability are not well understood. Previous studies have posited that the rate of adaptation in a given environment is determined by Bayesian sensorimotor integration based on the amount of variability in the state of the environment. However, ex...

Yoon, Tae-Jin. 2014. Speaker variation in English prosodic boundary. Linguistic Research 31(1), 1-23. This paper analyses the rate of inter-speaker consistency in the way multiple speakers render prosodic events when they read the same scripts. Prosodically labeled data of five speakers from the Boston Radio Speech Corpus (BURSC) are used to measure the degree of speaker variation in rendering ...

The adoption of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in 1986 resulted in the transition from fixed exchange rate regime to floating exchange rate regime in Nigeria. Ever since, the exchange rate of naira vis-à-vis the U.S dollar has attained varying rates all through different time horizons. On this basis, this study examines the consistency, persistency, ...
