We analyse an empirical case study of an inter-organizational information system (IOIS) in theAustralian pharmaceutical distribution industry, using a theoretical data coding approach, toprovide a concise grounded account of changes in the material, normative and ideationalstructures within the...

Many software reliability growth models assume that the time to next failure may be infinite; i.e., there is a chance that no failure will occur at all. For most software products this is too good to be true even after the testing phase. Moreover, if a non-zero probability is assigned to an...

Leptokurtic distributions can be generated by applying certainnon-linear transformations to a standard normal random variable. Withinthis work we derive general conditions for these transformations which guaranteethat the generated distributions are ordered with respect to the partialordering of...

Using the Gaussian distribution as statistical model for data sets is widely spread, especiallyin practice. However, departure from normality seems to be more the rule than theexception. The H-distributions, introduced by Tukey (1960, 1977), are generated by a singletransformation...

In the literature there are several generalizations of the standard logistic distribution. Most of them are included in the generalized logistic distribution of type IV or EGB2 distribution. However, this four parameter family fails in modeling skewness absolutly greater than 2 and kurtosis...

Based on multiparameter subadditive ergodic theorems of Akcoglu and Krengel (1981) and Schürger (1988) we derive an almost sure limit theorem for families of random matrices with a multiparameter which satisfy a supermultiplicativity condition. This gives a multiparameter analogue of results of...
