Methods of dimension reduction are very helpful and almost a necessity if we want to analyze high-dimensional time series since otherwise modelling affords many parameters because of interactions at various time-lags. We use a dynamic version of Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR; Li (1991)), which...

Arbeitsmarktinstitutionen sind arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen, die auf eine Verbesserung von Arbeitsmarktergebnissen (z. B. Beschäftigung und Löhne) abzielen. Da Arbeitsmärkte komplexen Anpassungsmechanismen unterliegen, sind diese Maßnahmen jedoch unter Umständen kontraproduktiv oder...

Seit der Öffnung des Eisernen Vorhangs war das ostdeutsche Städtesystem verschiedenen sich überlappenden Prozessen des institutionellen Wandels, wie dem rapiden Übergang von einer sozialistischen Plan- zur Marktwirtschaft, verschiedenen politischen und administrativen Reformen, sowie der...

Replication crisis and debates about p-values have raised doubts about what we can statistically infer from research findings, both in experimental and observational studies. With a view to the ongoing debate on inferential errors, this paper systematizes and discusses experimental designs with...

The present method allows to detect outlying observations in data which may be described by a deterministic function plus a stochastic component. This type of functional relationship often occurs in experimental data, in toxicological research, for instance. The Hampel identifier, an outlier...

The aim of detecting outliers in a multivariate sample can be pursued in different ways. We investigate here the performance of several simultaneous multivariate outlier identification rules based on robust estimators of location and scale. It has been shown that the use of estimators with high...

In their paper, Davies and Gather (1993) formalized the task of outlier identification, considering also certain performance criteria for outlier identifiers. One of those Criteria, the maximum asymptotic bias, is carried over here to multivariate outlier identifiers. We show how this term...
