The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects interest rate on economic growth in Gambia over period 1993 2017. Vector E rror Correction Model (VECM) used check relationships between dependent variable (Gross Domestic Product) and independent variables (Real Effective Exchange Rate Real Interest Rate), both short-run long-run. Post estimation tests, including Lagrange Multiplier te...

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine empirically the relationship between liquidity management and profitability Croatian small medium enterprises in trade provide empirical evidence effects on level during COVID-19 crisis. Methodology: analysis began with descriptive statistics, where authors observed following variables: ROA, current liquidity, accelerated immediate employment. collec...

where α0 > 0, αj ≥ 0, βi ≥ 0, p ≥ 0, q ≥ 0 are model parameters and {εj , j ∈ Z} are independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) zero mean random variables. The variables rt, σt, εt in (1) are usually interpreted as financial (log)returns (rt), their volatilities or conditional standard deviations (σt), and so-called innovations or shocks (εt), respectively; in (1) the innovations are supposed...

Multi-carrier system has been fuelled by large demand on frequency allocation, resulting in a crowded spectrum as well as large number of users requiring simultaneous access. Existing wireless systems may be utilized single frequency, single antenna and pulse for carrier transmission and reception. Problems of such system is that in case of failure the total system will become non operational. ...

OBJECTIVE: Kawasaki disease is a systemic idiopathic self-limited vasculitis of small and medium-sized vessels. Thirteen cases of sensorineural hearing loss during the evolution of this disease have been described in the literature. We describe a case of an infant with Kawasaki disease who developed sensorineural hearing loss during the acute phase. This case report shows a complication of Kawa...

We examine the assertion that the two-parameter lognormal distribution is an appropriate parametric model for the shot length distributions of Hollywood films. A review of the claims made in favour of assuming lognormality for shot length distributions finds them to be lacking in methodological detail and statistical rigour. We find there is no supporting evidence to justify the assumption of l...

Testing the presence of serial correlation in the error terms of a fixed effects regression model is important for many reasons. While there have been a number of testing procedures developed so far (see, e.g., Bhargava, Franzini and Narendranathan (1982), Baltagi and Li (1995), Baltagi and Wu (1999), Bera et al. (2001), Wooldridge (2002), Drukker (2003), Hong and Kao (2004) and Inoue and Solon...

Objective: To determine the incidence of hearing impairment in a standardized population of neonates seeking care in a tertiary hospital in Northwest India. Universal hearing screening is implemented in many developed countries. However, neither universal screening, nor high risk screening, exists in India. The incidence of hearing loss in India is found to be 1 to 6 per 1000 newborns screened ...

Disambiguation to Wikipedia (D2W) is the task of linking mentions of concepts in text to their corresponding Wikipedia entries. Most previous work has focused on linking terms in formal texts (e.g. newswire) to Wikipedia. Linking terms in short informal texts (e.g. tweets) is difficult for systems and humans alike as they lack a rich disambiguation context. We first evaluate an existing Twitter...

DETECTION OF OUTLIERS IN TIME SERIES DATA Samson Kiware, B.A. Marquette University, 2010 This thesis presents the detection of time series outliers. The data set used in this work is provided by the GasDay Project at Marquette University, which produces mathematical models to predict the consumption of natural gas for Local Distribution Companies (LDCs). Flow with no outliers is required to dev...
