fractal power laws and scaling will be explained. The main part focuses on the estimation of the tail index as a scaling …

Guttman (1947) developed a scaling method in which the items measuring an attribute can be ordered according to the … strength of the attribute. The Guttman scaling model assumes that every member of the population belongs to a scale type and … contingency tables, pi-star can be applied to latent class models, including scaling models for dichotomous data. This study …

processes, this study developed theoretical constructs for scaling and amalgamation of the different performance measures, and … for analyzing the different kinds of trade-offs. The scaling of performance measures yields a consistent or dimensionless … alternative methods for scaling and amalgamation. Also, recognizing that project outcomes are not always known with certainty, the …

The … affect the valueof the losses caused by earthquakes, e.g. magnitude, depth, city impact,etc., we also derive the price of a … hypothetical modeled-index loss (zero)coupon CAT bond for earthquakes, which is based on the compound doublystochastic Poisson …
