The problem of simultaneous inference and multiple comparison for comparing means of k(≥3) populations has been long studied in the statistics literature and is widely available in statistics literature. However to-date, the problem of multiple comparison of regression models has not found its...

While we assume in the corporate entrepreneurship literature that organizational members develop entrepreneurial behavior, little is known of how these members construct an entrepreneurial identity and how this affects the organization. We draw from the social constructionist approach to...

Objective: Expose the weak loops in the Chinese medical insurance coverage and uncover hospitals' role of over-pricing hospitalized insured patients compared with those non-insured. <P>Methods: A multi-linear regression method was used to analyze hospitalization expense for insured and uninsured...</p>

This paper investigates the long-run equilibrium relationships, temporal dynamic relationships and causal relationships between energy consumption structure, economic structure and energy intensity in China. Time series variables over the periods from 1980 to 2006 are employed in empirical...

We study nonparametric likelihood-based estimators of the mean function of counting processes with panel count data using monotone polynomial splines. The generalized Rosen algorithm, proposed by Zhang & Jamshidian (2004), is used to compute the estimators. We show that the proposed spline...

This study has been created in order to better inform climate policy recommendations for China through the study of emissions reduction potential and mitigation opportunities in the major emission sectors in the country. The LEAP model along with three scenarios has been employed in this study....

Hollander, Park and Proschan (1986) proposed a test of new is better than used of a specified age. It is based on large sample normality of the test statistic. There is, however, no study in the literature on its actual size for small and moderate sample sizes. To shed some lights on this, the...

This study uses intraday data to analyze security trading during partial holidays. The objectives include understanding the trading environment during such holidays and learning whether cross-listing Canadian securities on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) affects liquidity, the information...

We propose a spline-based semiparametric maximum likelihood approach to analysing the Cox model with interval-censored data. With this approach, the baseline cumulative hazard function is approximated by a monotone B-spline function. We extend the generalized Rosen algorithm to compute the...
