Background :
Structural properties of proteins such as secondary structure and solvent accessibility contribute to three-dimensional structure prediction, not only in the ab initio case but also when homology information ...
Consumers' choice set of products within stores can be limited. Ackerberg and Rysman (2005) address this problem by modeling unobserved consumer preferences over products and retail stores, leading to augmented demand ...
For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
Structures include elements designated as load bearing and non-load bearing. While non-load bearing elements, such as facades and internal partitions, are acknowledged to add mass to the system, the structural stiffness ...
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 ...

In this note we study the implications on a bivariate normal Roy Model of two sets of monotonicity hypotheses proposed recently by Manski and Pepper (2000). In that simple context, we show that these hypotheses imply strong ...
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 analysis of network data is an area that is rapidly growing, both within and outside of the discipline of statistics.
This review provides a concise summary of methods and models used in the statistical analysis of ...
We construct a theoretical model of the dynamic processes (firm entry, growth,
decline, and exit) that underpin the determination of a limiting firm size distribution
(FSD). In particular, we model such dynamic processes ...
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 ...
