This thesis contains three chapters. The first chapter considers tests of the parameter of an endogenous variable in an instrumental variables regression model. The focus is on one-sided conditional t-tests. Theoretical ...

The work consisted in the idealization and implementation in the programming language of Scratch of online digital versions for games with didactic intent in mathematics, as well as the availability of these games on the ...

In this work we focus on tests for the parameter of an endogenous variable in a weakly identi ed instrumental variable regressionmodel. We propose a new unbiasedness restriction for weighted average power (WAP) tests ...

This dissertation deals with the problem of making inference when there is weak identification in models of instrumental variables regression. More specifically we are interested in one-sided hypothesis testing for the ...

The problem of system identification starts with a time-series of observed data and tries to determine the simplest model capable of exhibiting the observed behavior. This optimization problem searches the model from a ...

The fast growth of Internet has implied an increased use of network real-time applications, which require higher performance for Data Center Network (DCN). At the same time this has caused new architectures redesign for ...
