High-frequency financial and economic indicators are usually time-aggregated before computing forecasts of macroeconomic events, such as recessions. We propose a mixed-frequency alternative that delivers high-frequency probability (including their confidence bands) for low-frequency events. The new approach is compared with single-frequency alternatives using loss functions rare-event forecasti...

Allele frequency distributions of nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci, D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D7S820, and D13S317, HLA-DQA1 and polymarker (PM) loci were studied in a sample population from Sultanate of Oman, Middle East. Blood samples were collected from 162 unrelated individuals. For all STR, HLA-DQA1 and PM loci, no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, bas...

A family of lightweight authentication protocols, HB-family, has been proposed for low-computationload-required applications such as radio frequency identification (RFID). Security of this family is based on the learning parity with noise (LPN) problem which has been proven to be an NP-complete problem. But, we find that security of these LPN-problem-based protocols is doubted. We will demonstr...

We contribute to research on mixed-frequency regressions by introducing an innovative Bayesian approach. impose a Normal-inverse Wishart prior adding set of auxiliary dummies in estimating Mixed-Frequency VAR. Based this new “high-frequency” identification scheme, we illustrate our method identifying uncertainty shock for the U.S. economy. As main findings, document “temporal aggregation bias” ...

in this study, effect of two genotype imputation strategies, relatedness between reference panel and test populations and minor allele frequency on imputation error rate were examined with using a stochastic simulated population. reference panel and test populations were composed of 1,000 and 500 individuals, respectively. individuals in the reference panel were genotyped with using a high and ...
