After years of stagnancy, PLS path modeling has recently attracted renewed interest from applied researchers in marketing. At the same time, the availability of software alternatives to Lohmöllers LVPLS package has considerably increased (PLS-Graph, PLS-GUI, SPAD-PLS, SmartPLS). To help the...

Beta regression - an increasingly popular approach for modeling rates and proportions - is extended in various directions: (a) bias correction/reduction of the maximum likelihood estimator, (b) beta regression tree models by means of recursive partitioning, (c) latent class beta regression by...

We discuss the results of the statistical tolerance test of the General Administration Management component of the Capital Expenditure of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation which carries ahead our two previous connected studies (A. Sathyavathi (2023(a)), Analysis of the General Administration...

In continuation of our previous study (A. Sathyavathi (2023). Analysis of the General Administration Management Expenditure of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=4403863 ; http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4403863 ) we propose to further analyze the sample of the...

In this very first paper of a series of forthcoming research papers of ours, which we propose to bring out in near future regarding the detailed statistical and mathematical analysis of the financial resources and the budget of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation (more appropriately now called...

Outliers represent a fundamental challenge in empirical finance research. We investigate whether the routine techniques used in finance research to identify and treat outliers are appropriate for the data structures we observe in practice. Specifically, we propose a multivariate identification...

Copula functions have become the standard tool in modelling multivariate dependence over the last decade hence there are toolboxes available for simulating and estimating copulas in the major statistical software such as R/S+, SAS and MATLAB. However recent developments in copulas like copula...

This project shows the algorithm appropriate for short term trading strategies and techniques to leverage these strategies. The Durbin Watson statistic shows market inefficiency. Non-parametric models are used. The returns are not correlated but they show some amount of volatility clusterization...
