The subject of this paper is the estimation of the Phillips curve in Thailand. The aim of the estimation is to ...t the Phillips curve as part of a small-scale, log-linearised structural model for the country, which is suitable to form the basis for a future simulation exercise to ...nd an optimum monetary policy rule. A linear form of the Phillips curve is estimated using ordinary least square...

The paper deals with quality measures of whole sets of rules extracted from data, as a counterpart to more commonly used measures of individual rules. This research has been motivated by increasingly frequent extraction of non-classification rules, such as association rules and rules of observational logic, in real-world data mining tasks. The paer sketches the typology of rules extraction meth...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Heterosexual HIV-1-serodiscordant couples are increasingly recognized as an important source of new HIV-1 infections in sub-Saharan Africa. A simple risk assessment tool could be useful for identifying couples at highest risk for HIV-1 transmission. METHODS Using data from 3 prospective studies of HIV-1-serodiscordant couples from 7 African countries and standard met...

In this paper, a Takagi–Sugeno–Kang (TSK) type Fuzzy Rule Based System is developed for stock price prediction. The TSK fuzzy model applies the technical index as the input variables and the consequent part is a linear combination of the input variables. The fuzzy rule based model is tested on the Taiwan Electronic Shares from the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE). Through the intensive experimental ...

How should a firm price new product for which little is known about demand? We propose simple and practical pricing rule products where demand information limited. The simple: Set as though the curve were linear. Our can be used if three conditions hold: estimate maximum it charge still expect to sell some units, need not plan in advance quantity will sell, marginal cost constant. show that tru...

We extend our previous analysis of cosmological supernova Type Ia data (Padmanabhan & Choudhury 2003) to include the recent data points. A simple analysis, based on 194 data points, show that the main conclusions of our previous work remain unchanged. The full data set, as noted earlier, rules out decelerating models with high degree of significance. However, it is slightly worrying that the la...

BACKGROUND A prospective regional study was conducted to identify factors associated with in-hospital mortality among patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). A prediction rule was developed and validated based on the data collected. METHODS AND RESULTS Data from 3,055 patients were collected from five clinical centers between July 1, 1987, and April 15, 1989....

Abstract Heat and Moisture Transfer (HMT) simulations are used to evaluate moisture related damage risks in building envelopes. HMT commonly performed accepting the hypothesis of not considering hysteresis materials. The results simulation a timber wall with presented, compared three simplified models, showing effects on assessment risk decay. content is most influenced variable, while temperat...

BACKGROUND Chest pain can be caused by various conditions, with life-threatening cardiac disease being of greatest concern. Prediction scores to rule out coronary artery disease have been developed for use in emergency settings. We developed and validated a simple prediction rule for use in primary care. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional diagnostic study in 74 primary care practices in G...
