This paper gives the results of a semiparametric analysis of pollution effects on housing prices using the Boston Housing Data. The exposition introduces the basic ideas of modeling pollution impacts with hedonic price methods, discusses the standard log-linear model, and then introduces nonparametric estimation and semiparametric index models. We focus on the intuitive content and substantive ...

This work focuses on the size distribution of sneeze droplets exhaled immediately at mouth. Twenty healthy subjects participated in the experiment and 44 sneezes were measured by using a laser particle size analyser. Two types of distributions are observed: unimodal and bimodal. For each sneeze, the droplets exhaled at different time in the sneeze duration have the same distribution characteris...

The assessment of the influence of individual observations on the outcome of the analysis by perturbation has received a lot of attention for situations in which the observations are independent and identically distributed. However, no methods based on minor perturbations for carrying out such assessments are available in the context of multinomial models. A simultaneous perturbation scheme for...

A scant few weeks ago disentanglement of effects identified in purely categorical designs in which all variables are categorical, including notoriously-complex rectangular categorical designs (RCDs) in which variables have a different number of response categories, was poorly understood. However, univariate and multivariate optimal (“maximum-accuracy”) statistical methods, specifically UniODA a...

fracture system in carbonate reservoirs is very complex. understanding the features of fractures such as dip, strike and the other parameters can help to distinguish the behaviour of reservoir in any exploration and production plan. image log is the best way to investigate feature planes like fracture and bedding. image log in one of drilled well #10x393 of bangestan reservoir in gachsaran oilf...
