PURPOSE To assess time trends of testicular cancer (TC) mortality in Spain for period 1985-2019 for age groups 15-74 years old through a Bayesian age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. METHODS A Bayesian age-drift model has been fitted to describe trends. Projections for 2005-2019 have been calculated by means of an autoregressive APC model. Prior precision for these parameters has been selected t...

In this paper, the nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous variables as a new neural network is used for timing of the stock markets on the basis of the technical analysis of Japanese Candlestick. In this model, the “nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous variables” is an analyzer. For a more reliable comparison, here (like the literature) two approaches of  Raw-based and Signal-ba...

the classical method of process capability analysis necessarily assumes that collected data are independent; nonetheless, some processes such as biological and chemical processes are autocorrelated and violate the independency assumption. many processes exhibit a certain degree of correlation and can be treated by autoregressive models among which the autoregressive model of order one (ar (1)) ...

Food plays a major role in the consumption basket of developing countries such as Pakistan, with significant portion insufficient income poor individuals spending on food. Therefore, higher food inflation severely affects purchasing power people. This study is designed to estimate short and long-run impacts monetary policy Pakistan. For this purpose, time series data from September 2005 October...

This work addresses the autoregressive modelling of sea level time series from TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimetry mission. Datasets from remote sensing applications are typically very large and correlated both in time and space. Multivariate analysis methods are useful tools to summarise and extract information from such large space-time datasets. Multivariate autoregressive analysis is a gener...

Using a nonstationary, bivariate autoregressive process with iid innovations, this paper shows that the bootstrap vector autoregressive causality test is inconsistent in general in the sense that its weak limit is di¤erent from that of the original causality test.

Die ISO27001:2005 als Informationssicherheitsmanagementsystem (ISMS) etabliert sich zunehmend als der Sicherheitsstandard in Unternehmen. Die Grundidee des ISMS basiert auf einem Management der Informationssicherheit welches ausgerichtet ist auf dem Management der Unternehmensrisiken und einen direkten Bezug zum Firmenumsatz herstellt. Bis September 2009 wurden weltweit mehr als 5822 1 zertifiz...

The previously monotypic genus Pseudorhopalia Wilcox & Papavero, 1971 is here revised, with description of a new species, Pseudorhopalia manauara, sp. n. The type-species, P. mirandai (d'Andretta & Carrera, 1951), is only found in northeastern Brazil, in the semiarid Caatinga biome. On the other hand, the new species is found in the humid Brazilian Amazonia, within dense ombrophilous forest and...

New Zealand contains 13 of the 69 species of Crotonia described globally and is the only place where all three genera of the Crotoniinae-Crotonia, Austronothrus and Holonothrus-have been recorded. Due to the pioneering work of Hammer (1966) and Luxton (1982) it also has the highest number of distribution records of Crotonia spp. anywhere. In the present study I build upon previous work to re-ex...
