Can Small-Area Analysis Detect Variation In Surgery Rates? The Power Of Small-Area Variation Analysis., Paula Diehr
Paula Diehr
A variety of statistical methods can be used in small-area analysis to test whether there is more variation than would be expected by chance alone. However, the power of these methods to detect existing variation has never been studied. The authors used data regarding back surgery in Washington State to suggest several types of variation that might exist (alternative hypotheses), and then used computer simulation to determine the power, or the probability of detecting this variation. The chi-square test had the highest power of all methods considered against most alternative hypotheses. Power is higher if there are no multiple admissions, …

On The Asymptotic Behavior And Radial Symmetry Of Positive Solutions Of Semilinear Elliptic Equations In R N Ii. Radial Symmetry, Yi Li, Wei-Ming Ni
On The Asymptotic Behavior And Radial Symmetry Of Positive Solutions Of Semilinear Elliptic Equations In R N Ii. Radial Symmetry, Yi Li, Wei-Ming Ni
Yi Li
The main purpose of this paper is to prove Theorems 1 and 2 of the preceding paper, Part I, together with their extensions and related symmetry results. To make this part essentially self-contained, we shall apply the method developed in Section 2 to equations with radial symmetry. Combining the asymptotic behavior and the "moving plane" technique, we are then able to obtain the desired results.

Adaptive Estimation In Timeseries Regression Models, Douglas Steigerwald
Adaptive Estimation In Timeseries Regression Models, Douglas Steigerwald
Douglas G. Steigerwald
I develop adaptive estimators for linear regression with serially correlated errors. The efficiency results hold even when the serial correlation structure is unknown. Simulations indicate that efficiency gains can be substantial with samples of only 50 observations. We apply the method to a study of forward exchange rates.

On The Finite Sample Behavior Of Adaptive Estimators, Douglas Steigerwald
Douglas G. Steigerwald
With only 50 observations, the adaptive estimator produces confidence intervals that are 20 to 50 percent shorter than those produced by GLS procedures. The key feature is that the underlying error density is symmetric. Under asymmetry the interval length is shortened by a smaller amount.
