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...

Simulation models are often used to select alternatives to system designs. A model of a simulation model, referred to as ametamodel, can be used to explore the functional relationships between the mean response of a simulation model and a set of simulation input variables. The estimated metamodel is then used to predict the system response for speci ed sets of input variables and to identify th...

False aneurysm is a rare cause of non-union of a fracture. Reports have recently been published by Bassett and Houck (1964), Dameron (1964) and Meyer and Slager (1964), in which injury to the arteria profunda femoris or its branches complicated the insertion of screws across the femoral shaft and resulted in the development of false aneurysm. The case reported here complicated intramedullary na...

Gottman and Levenson (2002) for the purpose of post hoc speculation, developed a number of ordinary least squares regressions to model the length of marriage of divorcing couples in a 14-year longitudinal study. We believe that our analyses are appropriate for our purpose. We do not agree with DeKay, Greeno, and Houck (2002) that a duration-model approach would have been more appropriate, and i...
