Corporate governance of banks is one of the most important structures required by banks to maintain the health and stability of banks, which can play an important role in managing banks' risk. This paper examines the effect of corporate governance on liquidity risk management, credit risk management, and total bank risk management. We used board structure effectiveness, transparency, and respon...

We propose a way of testing exogeneity of an explanatory variable without any parametric assumptions in the presence of a conditional "instrumental variable". A testable implication is derived that if an explanatory variable is exogenous, the conditional distribution of the outcome given explanatory variables is independent of the instrumental variable. We propose a consistent nonparametric boo...

In the process of cointegration analysis, electricity consumption is chosen as the explained variable, and GDP per capita, heavy industry share, and efficiency improvement are chosen as the explanatory variables; then a cointegration model is put forward, which shows that there is a cointegration relationship between the explained variable and explanatory variables. The explained and explanator...

Cox proportional hazards model is a commonly used model in providing hazard ratio to compare survival times of two population groups. The exponentiated linear regression part of the model describes the effects of explanatory variables on hazard ratio. PROC PHREG is a SAS procedure that implements the Cox model and provides the hazard ratio estimate. The estimate is interpreted as the percent ch...

This review introduces logistic regression, which is a method for modelling the dependence of a binary response variable on one or more explanatory variables. Continuous and categorical explanatory variables are considered.

Listeriosis is acknowledged as a major foodborne disease throughout the world caused by Listeria monocytogenes. Different factors can affect the growth of food borne microbial pathogens. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different concentrations of Bunium persicum essential oil (EO) (0%, 0.08%, 0.16%, 0.24%), three incubation temperatures (35ºC, 25ºC, 4ºC), three ...

The selection of an optimal regression model comprising linear combinations of various integer powers of an independent variable (explanatory variables) is considered. The optimal model is defined as the most accurate (minimal variance) stable model, where all parameter estimates of the orthogonalized explanatory variables are significantly different from zero. The potential causes that limit t...
