Most of previous works and applications Bayesian factor model have assumed the normal likelihood regardless its validity. We propose a for heavy-tailed high-dimensional data based on multivariate Student-t to obtain better covariance estimation. use multiplicative gamma process shrinkage prior number adaptation scheme proposed in Bhattacharya Dunson [Biometrika 98(2):291–306, 2011]. Since naive...

one priority of planning at the regional level is to recognize the system of residence and particularly its urban system. one of the features of urban system in each area or country is the way of population distribution between the cities of these areas which is called city distribution size. in functional analysis of mazandaran province 41 development indexes of educational, cultural, social, ...

abstract     in order to study the relationships among seed yield and its components in nigella sativa, path coefficient and factor analysis was done using some agro- morphological traits of 21 different genotypes. genotypes were evaluated using a completely randomized design with four replications in ardestan university research farms. there was a high and positive correlation between seed yie...

seeds of 200 accessions of alfalfa (medicago sativa l.) were provided from iraniannatural resource gene bank and were sown as drilled plot using alpha designs/unreplicatedwith 2 repeated entries within all of 10 blocks under dry land farming system in agriculturalresearch center of hamadan, iran during 2009 to 2010. the data were collected and analyzedfor plant height, stem number, leaf stem ra...

This paper develops estimation and inference methods for conditional quantile factor models. We first introduce a simple sieve estimation, establish asymptotic properties of the estimators under large $N$. then provide bootstrap procedure estimating distributions estimators. also two consistent number factors. The allow us not only to estimate structures asset returns utilizing characteristics,...

this paper presents results of hydro-chemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis of a major ion data set of groundwater from mighan playa aquifer. cluster analysis classified samples into four clusters(a, b, c and d) according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster a (dominant comp...

genetic  diversity  is  the  basis  of  the  natural  evolution  of  plant  breeding  and  biological  system  are  important  components  of  sustainability. the aim of this study was to evaluate 116 genotypes of triticum turgidum from seven countries in terms of morphological traits. the results showed that high significant differences among the genotypes. the correlation between grain yield ...
