The purpose of this paper is to compare in-sample and out-of-sample performances of three parametric and non-parametric early warning systems (EWS) for currency crises in emerging market economies ...

We provide novel, high-order accurate methods for non-parametric inference on quantile differences between two populations in both unconditional and conditional settings. These quantile differences ...

Let τ be a prior distribution over the parameter space Θ for a given parametric model P θ, θ ∈ Θ. For the sample space X (over which P θ 's are probability measures) belonging to a general class of ...

We have performed a genome scan using 25 nuclear families consisting of right-handed parents with at least two left-handed children. Handedness was assessed as a qualitative trait using a laterality ...
