Abstract Es wird gezeigt, dass die Befragung zum DGB-Index „Gute Arbeit“ Ergebnisse liefert, die mit denen der BIBB/BAuA-Erwerbstätigenbefragung grundsätzlich vergleichbar sind. Trotz ähnlicher Konzeption und teils sehr ähnlicher Fragestellungen weisen die Analysen allerdings darauf hin,...

Sampling units for the 2013 Methods-of-Payment survey were selected through an approximate stratified two-stage sampling design. To compensate for nonresponse and noncoverage and ensure consistency with external population counts, the observations are weighted through a raking procedure. We...

A Quantitative Structure–Activity Relationship (QSAR) study was performed to predict HIV-1 integrase inhibition activity (pIC50) of thirty-five 5-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxamide compounds using the electronic and physico-chemical descriptors computed respectively, with...

Abstract We consider estimation of and inference for the mean outcome under the optimal dynamic two time-point treatment rule defined as the rule that maximizes the mean outcome under the dynamic treatment, where the candidate rules are restricted to depend only on a user-supplied subset of the...

Empirical studies on software prediction models do not converge with respect to the question "which prediction model is best?" The reason for this lack of convergence is poorly understood. In this simulation study, we have examined a frequently used research procedure comprising three main...
