This is accomplished by relating such paths to paths which are utilitarian maximal when an increasing (but not necessarily concave) utility function evaluates each period’s consumption. Dynamic properties of Suppes-Sen maxi...

There is a vast literature on robust regression estimators, the bulk of which assumes that the dependent (outcome) variable is continuous. Evidently, there are no published results on the impact of tied values in terms of the Type I error probability. A minor goal in this paper to comment generally on problems created by tied values when testing the hypothesis of a zero slope. Simulations indic...

The paper deals with three approaches to comparing the regression lines corresponding to two dependent groups when using a robust estimator. The focus is on the Theil–Sen estimator with some comments about alternative estimators that might be used. The first approach is to test the global hypothesis that the two groups have equal intercepts and slopes in a manner that allows a heteroscedastic e...
