The limits and intensity of Plasmodium falciparum transmission: implications for malaria control and elimination worldwide
Guerra, Carlos A.; Gikandi, Priscilla W.; Tatem, Andrew J. - 2008
Background: The efficient allocation of financial resources for malaria control using appropriate combinations of interventions requires accurate information on the geographic distribution of malaria risk. An evidence-based description of the global range of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and its...

Modelling variation of lower leg length growth in early life
Fong, DYT; Wong, SWS; Karlberg, JPE - 2001
We consider the estimation of sources of variation for panel data with repeated measurements. With no repeated measurements and known measurement error, models for variation decomposition have been proposed when there are one or more types of measurements. Estimation was performed using the EM...

The effects of content presentation format and user characteristics on novice developers’ understanding of process models
Recker, Jan C.; Dreiling, Alexander - 2011
Process models are used by information professionals to convey semantics about the business operations in a real world domain intended to be supported by an information system. The understandability of these models is vital to them being used for information systems development. In this paper,...

Bootstrap Markov chain Monte Carlo and optimal solutions for the Law of Categorical Judgment (Corrected)
Kochanski, Greg P; Rosner, Burton S. - 2010
A novel procedure is described for accelerating the convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo computations. The algorithm uses an adaptive bootstrap technique to generate candidate steps in the Markov Chain. It is efficient for symmetric, convex probability distributions, similar to multivariate...

Do Static Externalities Offset Dynamic Externalities? An Experimental Study of the Exploitation of Substitutable Common-Pool Resources
Giordana, Gaston A.; Montginoul, Marielle; Willinger, Marc - 2010
Overexploitation of coastal aquifers may lead to seawater intrusion, which irreversibly degrades groundwater. The seawater intrusion process may imply that its consequences would not be perceptible until after decades of accumulated overexploitation. In such a dynamic setting, static...

The critical discount factor as a measure for cartel stability?
Bruttel, Lisa - 2009
This paper considers the stability of tacit collusion in price setting duopolies with repeated interaction. The minimum discount factor above which tacit collusion can be sustained in a subgame perfect equilibrium is called the critical discount factor delta*. In addition, delta* is often used...
