to study the effect of urea application in safflower (carthamus tinctorius) and determination of effective traits on its yield, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design in three replications was conducted in tabriz, iran, during 2012. studied factors were urea rate levels as 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha and urea application times 100% in sowing time, 50% sowing time + 50% stem...

in this study, detection and identification of common faults in industrial gas turbines is investigated. we propose a model-based robust fault detection(fd) method based on multiple models. for residual generation a bank of local linear neuro-fuzzy (llnf) models is used. moreover, in fault detection step, a passive approach based on adaptive threshold is employed. to achieve this purpose, the a...

This study evaluates the relationship between inflation and output gap in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, it determines a level of optimal for given changes economic cycle. The novelty this study’s research question is linking with non-oil Arabia by constructing dynamic threshold regression model. estimation carried out using yearly time series from 1981 to 2019. variables used our model ...

over the past three decades vertical price transmission analysis has been the subject of considerable attention in applied agricultural conomics. it has been argued that the existence of asymmetric price transmission generates rents for marketing and processing agents. retail prices allegedly move faster upwards than downwards in response to farm level pricemovements. this is an important issue...

August 29, 2013 Type Package Title Threshold Regression Version 1.0.2 Date 2012-11-26 Author Tao Xiao Maintainer Tao Xiao Depends survival, Formula Description Fit a threshold regression model based on the first-hitting-time of a boundary by the sample path of a Wiener diffusion process. The threshold regression methodology is well suited to applications involving survival ...

This paper proposes a new approach to estimate panel data models with group specific parameters when group membership is not known. We first create a set of “pseudo” threshold variables based on time series estimation of the individual specific parameters. We then use these variables to stratify individuals. The problem of parameter heterogeneity is turned into estimation of a panel threshold m...

The other-race effect (ORE) refers to the phenomenon that recognition memory for other-race faces is worse than for ownrace faces. We investigated whether White Germans exhibited an ORE towards Turkish or Arabic faces using a multinomial processing tree model (MPT), the two-high threshold model of recognition memory with three response categories (old, skip, and new). Using an MPT enabled us to...
