suitability analysis is a prerequisite for sustainable agricultural production and it involves evaluation of the environmental parameters. the development and creation of appropriate points for this land use without considering environmental capability will result in the appearance of several ecological, economic, and social problems. the multi-criteria decision making (mcdm) models were used f...

Dan Zhang Leads School of Business, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309, USA [email protected] Inventory-based dynamic pricing has become a common operations strategy in practice and has received considerable attention from the research community. From an implementation perspective, it is desirable to design a simple policy like a base stock list price (BSLP) policy. The e...

Motivated by a nonparametric GARCH model we consider nonparametric additive autoregression models in the special case that the additive components are linked parametrically+We show that the parameter can be estimated with parametric rate and give the normal limit+ Our procedure is based on two steps+ In the first step nonparametric smoothers are used for the estimation of each additive componen...

We consider the problem of predicting an outcome variable using p covariates that are measured on n independent observations, in a setting in which additive, flexible, and interpretable fits are desired. We propose the fused lasso additive model (FLAM), in which each additive function is estimated to be piecewise constant with a small number of adaptively-chosen knots. FLAM is the solution to a...

With the increasing availability of observational data from different sources at a global level, joint analysis of these data is becoming especially attractive. For such an analysis – oftentimes with little prior knowledge about local and global interactions between the different observational variables at hand – an exploratory, data-driven analysis of the data may be of particular relevance. I...

Nature and Nurture in the Intergenerational Transmission of Socioeconomic Status: Evidence from Swedish Children and Their Biological and Rearing Parents This study uses an extraordinary Swedish data set to explore the sources of the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status. Merging data from administrative sources and censuses, we investigate the association between sons’ and dau...

The mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in drought stress as a new report. Five generation including P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3 that derived from the cross of IL.111 (drought sensitive) ×Mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replic...
