Statistics for small areas within larger regions are recently required for many economic variables. However, when adding the estimates of the small areas within the larger regions, the results do not match up to those obtained with the appropriate estimator originally derived for the larger...

In many circumstances, the quality of a process or product is best characterized by a given mathematical function between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables that is typically referred to as profile. There are some investigations to monitor auto-correlated linear and...

This paper studies the international mobility of capital and labour. Using a Mixed Linear Model (MMA) the authors analyse the interaction of emigration and immigration with foreign direct investment, exports and imports, and international remittances. The sample comprises 112 countries with...

Objective: The study seeks to analyse the interaction of foreign direct investment, emigration, and immigration before and after the great economic recession. Research Design & Methods: We used the Linear Mixed Model (LMM) to analyse interaction of foreign direct in-vestment (FDI), emigration,...

Microarray experiments produce expression measurements for thousands of genes simultaneously, though usually for a small number of RNA samples. The most common problem is the identification of genes that are differentially expressed between different groups of samples or biological conditions....
