In this paper, we discuss the MLEs for log-linear models with partially classified data. We propose to apply the Aitken [delta]2 method of Aitken [Aitken, A.C., 1926. On Bernoulli's numerical solution of algebraic equations. Proc. R. Soc. Edinburgh 46, 289-305] to the EM and ECM algorithms to...

We derive an explicit form of a Markov basis on the junction tree for a decomposable log-linear model. Then we give a description of a Markov basis characterized by global Markov properties associated with the graph of a decomposable log-linear model and show how to use the Markov basis for...

The outstanding economic performance of East Asian countries has been investigated in numerous studies. However, most comparative studies analyze macro-level productivity. In this book, the productivity performance of China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the United States are compared at industry...

The global COVID-19 pandemic has substantially changed the structure of the economy from the pattern of a supply chain system driven by massive production and consumption to effectual demand through information and communication technology (ICT). Moreover, the transition of work style based on...
