This article analyses the school performance of migrants dependent on peer groups in different international schooling environments. Using data from the international OECD PISA test, we consider social interaction within and between groups of natives and migrants. Results based on social multipliers (Glaeser et al. 2000, 2003) suggest that both native-tonative and migrant-to-migrant peer effect...

We establish the rate of growth of the length of long strange intervals in an innnite moving average process whose coeecients are regularly varying at innnity. We compute the limiting distribution of the appropriately normalized length of such intervals. The rate of growth of the length of long strange intervals turns out to change dramatically once the exponent of regular variation of the coee...

Hyperbolic systems of conservation laws augumented with an entropy inequality are studied. It is shown that such systems can be written in a (quasilinear) skewselfndjoint form. Centered differencing of such a form under the smooth regime ends up with a systematic recipe for constructing quasiconservative schemes where the global entropy conservation is recovered. Employing the above formulation...

We investigate the first-order threshold moving-average model. We obtain a sufficient condition for a unique strictly stationary and ergodic solution of the model without the need to check irreducibility. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions for its invertibility of first-order . Furthermore, we discuss the extension of the results to the first-order multiple threshold moving-a...

Let {εi : −∞ < i < ∞} be a strictly stationary sequence of linearly positive quadrant dependent random variables and P∞ i=−∞ |ai| < ∞. In this paper, we prove the precise asymptotics in the law of iterated logarithm for the moment convergence of moving-average process of the form Xk = P∞ i=−∞ ai+kεi, k ≥ 1.

In many scenarios, a contingent data source may benefit by coordinating with external heterogeneous sources upon which it depends. The administrator of this contingent source needs to update it when changes are made to the external base sources. For example, when a building design is updated, the contractor’s cost estimate must be updated, too. The goal of data coordination is to update a conti...

Cloud detection methods based on deep learning depend large and reliable training datasets to achieve high accuracy. There will be a significant impact their performance, however when the data are insufficient or label quality is low. Thus, alleviate this problem, semi-supervised cloud method, named mean teacher cross-supervision network (MTCSNet) proposed. This method enforces both consistency...
