Food authenticity studies are concerned with determining if food samples have been correctly labelled or not. Discriminant analysis methods are an integral part of the methodology for food authentication. Motivated by food ...
This study examines the distributional properties of futures prices for contracts traded on LIFFE. A filtering process is employed to remove day of the week and holiday effects, a maturity effect, moving average effects ...
Ranked preference data arise when a set of judges rank, in order of their preference, a set of objects. Such data arise in preferential voting systems and market
research surveys. Covariate data associated with the judges ...
In recent years, work has been carried out on clustering gene expression microarray data. Some approaches are developed from an algorithmic viewpoint whereas others are developed via the application of mixture models. In ...
A new family of mixture models for the model-based clustering of longitudinal data is introduced.
The covariance structures of eight members of this new family of models are given and the associated maximum likelihood ...
Murphy, Anthony(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-07)
A convenient artifical regression based LM test of non-normality in the probit model is derived using a Gram Charlier type A alternative. The test is simply derived and may be extended to the bivariate probit case. The ...
Murphy, Anthony(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-12)
A simple and convenient LM test of normality in the bivariate probit model is derived. The alternative hypothesis is based on a form of truncated Gram Charlier Type series. The LM test may be calculated as an artificial ...
The distinct element method is used for modeling the growth of normal faults in
layered sequences. The models consist of circular particles that can be bonded together with breakable cement. Size effects of the model ...
The growth of normal faults in periodically layered sequences with varying strength contrast and at varying confining pressure is modeled using the Distinct Element Method. The normal faulting models are comprised of strong ...
