The dipole moments of a series of poly(thiocarbonate)s derived from bisphenol A have been determined in 1,4-dioxane and benzene solutions at 298 K. The effect of the side chain structure of the polymer and the solvent on ...

Modeling income, wage, wealth, expenditure and various other socialvariables have always been an issue of great concern. The Dagum distributionis considered quite handy to model such type of variables. Our focus inthis ...

We derive here estimators for the parameters of the Gumbel distribution using three estimating methods, namely, the probability weighted moments, the moment and the maximum likelihood methods. Furthermore, we compare the ...

We investigate a higher-derivative version of QED constructed by adding to the Maxwell's Lagrangian a term containing second-order derivatives of the electromagnetic potentials. The resulting Lagrangian, besides being gauge ...

Gallant and Tauchen (1996) describe an estimation technique, known as Efficient Method of Moments (EMM), that uses numerical methods to estimate parameters of a structural model. The technique uses as matching conditions ...
