CUE With Many Weak Instruments and Nearly Singular Design
This paper analyzes many weak moment asymptotics under the possibility of similar moments. The possibility of highly related moments arises when there are many of them. Knight and Fu (2000) designate the issue of similar regressors as the “nearly singular” design in the least squares case. In the nearly singular design, the sample variance converges to a singular limit term. However, Knight and...
متن کاملNeutrinos Are Nearly Dirac Fermions
Neutrino masses and mixings are analyzed in terms of left-handed fields and a 6 × 6 complex symmetric mass matrix M whose singular values are the neutrino masses. An angle xν characterizes the kind of the neutrinos, with xν = 0 for Dirac neutrinos and xν = π/2 for Majorana neutrinos. If xν = 0, then baryonminus-lepton number is conserved. When xν ≈ 0, the six neutrino masses coalesce into three...
متن کاملHow discriminating are discriminative instruments?
The McMaster framework introduced by Kirshner & Guyatt is the dominant paradigm for the development of measures of health status and health-related quality of life (HRQL). The framework defines the functions of such instruments as evaluative, predictive or discriminative. Evaluative instruments are required to be sensitive to change (responsiveness), but there is no corresponding index of the d...
متن کاملWhat are frailty instruments for?
Frailty is measured to understand its nature and biology, to aid diagnosis and care planning, to measure outcomes and to stratify risk. Such goals oblige two types of frailty measures - for screening and for assessment - and recognition that not all measures will serve all purposes. When the goal is broad identification of people at risk, a dichotomised approach (frailty is present or absent ) ...
متن کاملHow Reliable Are They?
We studied the frequency of malfunction, variability in rate of nebulization, and effect of this variability on aerosol particle size of eight disposable jet nebulizer models produced by six manufacturers. Four of eight models showed visual signs of malfunction, including spraying of large, individually visible droplets, leaking of nebulizer solution, and air leaks that completely prevented neb...
