The use of structural-equation modeling (SEM) in strategic-management research has grown dramatically during recent years. Although this statistical technique offers researchers a valuable tool for testing hypothesized models, certain challenges accompany the use of SEM. The current article...

<Para ID="Par1">The definitive screening (DS) design was proposed recently. This new class of three-level designs provides efficient estimates of main effects that are unaliased with any second-order effects. For practical use, we further study the optimal scheme for blocking DS designs. We propose a...</para>

Density forecast (DF) possesses appealing properties when it is correctly specified for the true conditional distribution. Although a number of parametric specification tests have been introduced for the DF evaluation (DFE) in the parameter-free context, econometric DF models are typically...
