Approximating the Normal Sample Median Distribution in Process Control
Leung, Char - In: Stochastics and Quality Control 36 (2021) 1, pp. 21-25
Abstract The present work aims to propose an approximation of the sample median distribution with a normal parent … distribution. Although the mean is usually used as the central tendency measure for normal samples, the median has also been used … in engineering, process control in particular. The proposed method approximates the normal sample median distribution …

The role of the prior in estimating VAR models with sign restrictions
Inoue, Atsushi; Kilian, Lutz - 2021
Several recent studies have expressed concern that the Haar prior typically imposed in estimating sign-identified VAR models may be unintentionally informative about the implied prior for the structural impulse responses. This question is indeed important, but we show that the tools that have...

Modularity for ValueAppropriation:Drawing the Boundaries ofIntellectual Property
Baldwin, Carliss; Henkel, Joachim - Technische Universität <München> / Schöller Chair in … - 2009
The existing theory of modularity explains how modular designs create value. We extend thistheory to address value appropriation. A product or process design that is modular with respect tointellectual property (IP) allows firms to better capture value in situations where knowledge andvalue...
