This paper investigates whether stock-price indices of seventeen emerging markets can be characterized as random walk (unit root) or mean reversion processes.

In this paper, an information-based criterion is proposed for carrying out change point analysis and variable selection simultaneously in linear models with a possible change point. Under some weak conditions, this criterion is shown to be strongly consistent in the sense that with probability...

In this paper, several recursive algorithms for computingM-estimates in multivariate linear regression models are discussed. It is shown that the recursiveM-estimators of regression coefficient and scatter parameters are strongly consistent. In particular, the asymptotic normality of the...

Asymptotics of M-estimators of the regression coefficients in linear models (both scale-variant and scale-invariant) when the number of regression coefficients tends to infinity as the sample size increases are investigated The main purpose of this study is to establish the asymptotic properties...

Development and management of a large scale equilibrium model can be much moreefficient if it is broken into its natural, almost independent parts, whichare brought together only when a global solution is desired. We present a newdecomposition algorithm, for non-optimization models of...

Oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) is an alternate technology to oxy-fuel pulverized combustion (PC), which has a number of advantages that can often make it a better choice for CO2 capture. This paper presents experimental results and operating experiences from a 0.8MWth...

Wind power is one of the fastest-growing technologies for renewable energy generation. Unfortunately, in the recent years some cases of degradation on certain telecommunication systems have arisen due to the presence of wind farms, and expensive and technically complex corrective measurements...
