this paper investigates the possibility of both linear and nonlinear effects of energy consumption on economic growth in iran, using data for the period of 1959–2007 based on threshold regression. some previous studies support the view that energy consumption may promote economic growth. however, the conclusion drawn from this study suggests that such relationship exists only where there is a l...

there are various causes for inflation in macroeconomics. one of the important channels of experiencing inflation is through the international economy caused by external shocks. in this context, the impact of exchange rate volatilities on domestic prices known as exchange rate pass-through (erpt) plays a vital role. the present paper deals with the impact of exchange rate pass-through on inflat...

Consider a detector which records the times at which the realizations of a nonparametric regression model exceed a certain threshold. If the error distribution is known, the regression function can still be identified from these threshold data. We construct estimators for the regression function. They are transformations of kernel estimators. We determine the bandwidth which minimizes the asymp...

We consider a high dimensional regression model with a possible change point due to a covariate threshold and develop the lasso estimator of regression coefficients as well as the threshold parameter. Our lasso estimator not only selects covariates but also selects a model between linear and threshold regression models. Under a sparsity assumption, we derive non-asymptotic oracle inequalities f...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop a statistical model for prediction of radiation induced sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) induced by radiotherapy in patients with brain tumors.   Materials and Methods: CT scan of 18 patients (10 males and 8 females) with brain tumor who were referred to Radiation Center of Milad Hospital in Isfahan in 2...
