The Vulnerability of Canada to Volcanic Hazards

Stasiuk, Mark; Hickson, Catherine; Mulder, Taimi - In: Natural Hazards 28 (2003) 2, pp. 563-589

Western Canada lies in a zone of active tectonics and volcanism, but thedispersed population has witnessed few eruptions due to the remoteness of the volcanoes and their low level ofactivity. This has created a false perception that Canada's volcanoes are extinct. There are more than 200...

Betit : a family that nests probit and logit

Vijverberg, Wim P. M. - 2000

This paper proposes a dichotomous choice model that is based on a transformed beta (or "z") distribution. This model, called betit, nests both logit and probit and allows for various skewed and peaked disturbance densities. Because the shape of this density affects the estimated relation between...

Distributions you can count on …but what's the point?

McCabe, Brendan Peter Martin; Skeels, Christopher L. - In: Econometrics 8 (2020) 1, pp. 1-36

The Poisson regression model remains an important tool in the econometric analysis of count data. In a pioneering contribution to the econometric analysis of such models, Lung-Fei Lee presented a specification test for a Poisson model against a broad class of discrete distributions sometimes...

Technological inefficiency and the skewness of the error component in stochastic frontier analysis

Carree, Martin Anthony - 2002

This paper concentrates on negatively skewed one-sided distributions as an explanation of the occurrence of positive (negative) skewness in the case of stochastic production (cost) frontieranalysis. It takes as example the binomial distribution that can have negative or positive skewand derives...
