The determinants of poverty in Cape Verde: an econometric approach.(Report)
Sep 22, 2008; ... ABSTRACT This article uses household level data collected in 2001-02 to examine the determinants of poverty in Cape Verde employing multivariate regression analysis. The study shows that poverty is strongly associated with the level of education, household size, engagement in ...
Completeness and fixed points in probabilistic quasi-pseudo-metric spaces.(Report)
Sep 22, 2008; ... ABSTRACT This paper considers the problem of defining Cauchy sequence and completeness in probabilistic-quasi-pseudo-metric spaces. The definition proposed allow versions of such classical theorems as Baire category theorem, the contraction principle and Cantor's ...
Goodness of fit tests for normality based on kernel entropy estimators.(Report)
Sep 22, 2008; ... ABSTRACT We develop new tests of goodness of fit for normality that are based on certain kernel estimators of the entropy. The test is investigated and its performance is compared with other well-known tests. The proposed test appears to be competitive in the situations ...
Test of the hypothesis that one group of dependence is consistent with another group of dependences.(Report)
Sep 22, 2008; ... ABSTRACT In this paper we describe the basic algorithmic characteristics of the test of the hypothesis that one group of dependences is consistent with another group of dependences for a case when the error disturbances of this data have normal distribution. Unpaired and paired ...
Truncation and unidentifiability: the single sample case.(Report)
Sep 22, 2008; ... ABSTRACT The problem of unidentifiability of regression coefficients due to truncation has been studied by Hodoshima (1988), under the assumptions that the error term has a strongly unimodal density and that the supports of the probability density functions (pdf's) under ...
