Testing for unit roots has special significance in terms of both economic theory and the interpretation of estimation result. As there are several methods available, researchers face method selection problem while conduction the unit root test on time series data i the presence of structural break.

Application Of Non-Linear Error Correction Models To The Demand For Money In Tunisia, Sami Khedhiri, Boudhina Riadh Jan 2005

Application Of Non-Linear Error Correction Models To The Demand For Money In Tunisia, Sami Khedhiri, Boudhina Riadh

Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)

Non linear error correction models (NLECM) have been increasingly used recently in the econometric literature since they lead to more insightful results than the linear models in empirical studies. In this research we present alternative methods of dealing with non linearity in error correction models. We apply these models to the demand for money in Tunisia and our results show that we get better predictions than the usual linear models. It is also shown that the speed of adjustment towards the long-run equilibrium is faster than what we get using linear error correction models.

Ozchi 2005 Doctoral Consortium Application, Robert B. K. Brown Jan 2005

Ozchi 2005 Doctoral Consortium Application, Robert B. K. Brown

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Formal methods of generating and specifying requirements have a chequered past when it comes to dealing with interface design. The Human Computer Interface (HCI) community have not adopted formal methods with open arms [Paterno 96]. If the accurate determination of stakeholder requirements is a significant factor in determining software project success, this thesis turns to a theory based in psychology and sociology to understand these capricious actors, the misunderstanding of whose whims can bring down 70% of software projects. This thesis will deploy Activity Theory as a basis for a proposed system design method and present initial conceptions and some …


Box-Minus Operation And Application In Sum-Product Algorithm, S Tong, P Wang, D Wang, X Wang Jan 2005

Box-Minus Operation And Application In Sum-Product Algorithm, S Tong, P Wang, D Wang, X Wang

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

A new formula for box-minus operation, which separates the box-minus operation into sign and reliability operations, was derived. Its application in the sum-product algorithm (SPA) was also investigated. Both box-plus operation and box-minus operation were divided into sign operation and reliability operation. The results show that on using the box-minus operation, SPA can be implemented with less decoding latency and complexity.
