Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimation Methods for Multicollinearity Proplem Combined with High Leverage Data PointsMoawad El-Fallah, Abd El-SallamProblem statement: Least Squares (LS) method has been the most popular method for estimating the parameters of a model due to its optimal properties and ease of computation. LS estimated regression may be seriously affected by multicollinearity which is a near linear dependency between two or more explanatory variables in the regression models. Although LS estimates are unbiased in the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEconomic Growth and Unemployment: An Empirical AnalysisFuad M. KreishanProblem statement: This research investigates the relationship between unemployment and economic growth in Jordan through the implementation of Okun’s law. Approach: Using annual data covering the period 1970-2008, time series techniques are used to test the relation between unemployment and economic growth and to obtain estimates for Okun’s coefficient. Namely, the study used Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) for unit root, cointegration … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 21 Mar 2011 · 12,609 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Distribution-Free Bayesian Approach for Indirect ComparisonsJohanna S. van Zyl, Jack D. TubbsThe objective of this paper is to consider an indirect comparison between treatments B and C when each have been compared directly to treatment A in separate studies. Problems of this type are common in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). A commonly used method assumes that the underlying data, Y, are normally distributed and µ = E(Y) is the measure of clinical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2019 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
