In this paper two new measures are proposed to identify influential sets of observations at the design stage in view of prediction and fitting. A relationship is established between one of proposed measures and the Cook's measure at the inference stage.

Model identification and discrimination are two major statistical challenges. In this paper we consider a set of models for factorial experiments with the parameters representing the general mean, main effects, and only k out of all two-factor interactions. We consider the class of all...

We present three generalized, empirical, economic inequality definitions for the empirical dominance of the income distribution of Population 1 over that of Population 2 with respect to their n-person economy in terms of a general transformation function G. These definitions are based on the...

This paper investigates how changes in fiscal policy can affect relative prices, optimal savings and steady state utility in a two-country, overlapping generations model of endogenous growth. We develop a simple model that combines Blanchard-type consumers with uncertain lifetimes, with an...
