This paper provides some test cases, called circuits, for the evaluation of Gaussian likelihood maximization algorithms of the cointegrated vector autoregressive model. Both I(1) and I(2) models are considered. The performance of algorithms is compared first in terms of effectiveness, defined as...

The exchange rate between the Naira and other currencies has continued to witness variability with depreciation. This variability makes it difficult to predict returns. Against this background, this paper examines the naira exchange rate vis-a-vis four other currencies. The impact of exogenous...

If we reassess the rationality question under the assumption that the uncertainty of the natural world is largely unquantifiable, where do we end up? In this article the author argues that we arrive at a statistical, normative, and cognitive theory of ecological rationality. The main casualty of...

The confirmed approach to choosing the number of principal components for prediction models includes exploring the contribution of each principal component to the total variance of the target variable. A combination of possible important principal components can be chosen to explain a big part...

This paper proposed an efficient two sample capture-recapture model (Ma) with high recaptures and compared it with the existing models like the model of no factor effect (Mo), behavioral response model (Mb) and the Petersen model (Ms), using simulated data. We found that the Petersen model...

The worldwide adoption of sustainable models has been motivated by an increasing awareness of the negative environmental impacts caused by unsustainable economic development models. The paper explores the relationship between the tourism industry and sustainable development goals during the...

El presente artículo analiza el papel de los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales en el campo de las ciencias de la administración. Se presenta el enfoque por el quese incorpora el uso de la técnica al campo de la administración y, adicionalmente, se genera una comparativa entre los...

This research study aims to investigate the potential inner factors of the lending rate in the commercial banking sector of Pakistan. For this purpose, seven bank-specific explanatory variables (capital adequacy, management efficiency, liquidity, asset quality, investment to asset, loan to asset...

The present study aims to measure the technical efficiency and establish core factors affecting rice production in Cambodia. A four-year dataset generated from the central government document 'Profile on Economics and Social' of 25 entire provinces between 2012 and 2015 and the stochastic...
