OBJECTIVE The limitation of small sample size of functional genomics experiments has made it necessary to integrate DNA microarray experimental data from different sources. However, experimentation noises and biases of different microarray platforms have made integrated data analysis challenging. In this work, we propose an integrative computational framework to identify candidate biomarker gen...

This research aims to provide an empirical assessment of the relationship between fiscal policy sustainability factors, like deficit and economic growth in Western Balkan countries East European Union Countries, using panel-level data for yearly time span from 2000-2021. The model provides impact deficit, alongside other control variables inflation, schooling, total investments, trade openness,...

This paper develops consistent model and moment selection criteria for GMM estimation. The criteria select the correct model speci"cation and all correct moment conditions asymptotically. The selection criteria resemble the widely used likelihoodbased selection criteria BIC, HQIC, and AIC. (The latter is not consistent.) The GMM selection criteria are based on the J statistic for testing over-i...

A panel data model which combines an autoregressive fixed effects panel data equation and a static equation with measurement errors is considered. Examples of models for pure time series data with errors in variables are the starting point. Two versions of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) for this panel data model are considered, with fixed effects accounted for by, respectively, (i) tra...

This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...

The long term consequences of malnutrition during childhood are well established in the literature. Yet, little is known about the extent to which individuals are able to recover from some of the deficits in health outcomes caused by childhood malnutrition. In order to address this question, I construct a panel data for children between 3-59 months in 1993 and follow them through 1997 and 2000 ...
