A generative account of English exclamatives
… motivated, it has substantially wider empirical coverage, and it provides a unified explanation of otherwise disparate exclamative types. Fundamentally, there is no “exclamative” force feature internal to the narrow syntax. Rather, exclamatives emerge naturally from independently …

Generalized Linear Models with Nonignorable Missing Covariates
… also indicates that for small sample size, the empirical coverage probabilities of the parameter estimates are a bit apart from the nominal 95% level. Also, the average lengths of the confidence intervals for the regression parameters tend to be smaller for larger sample size.

Implicatures in the DP domain
… approach to these phenomena offers a better empirical coverage of the relevant effects than previously achieved. Capitalizing on Magri (2009, 2011, 2014, and subsequent works), I will offer a conceptualization of implicature computation on which assertive and pre-suppositional implicatures …

Methods for two-sample comparisons from censored time-to-event data
… existing one, in the sense of producing empirical coverage closer to the nominal level. The model-based approach produces tighter and, hence, more informative SCBs. Specifically, for censoring rates between 10% and 40%, the semiparametric SCBs provide a relative reduction in enclosed area …

The Heavy Hand of Government: an Economic Study of Obesity
Although there is extensive theoretical and empirical coverage of the incentive effect of an income tax on labor supply in the economics literature, there is no study of the secondary behavioral effects of an income tax. In this thesis, I explore the relationship among income, marginal income tax, …

Confidence bands for survival curves using model assisted cox regression
… on standard Cox. The new SCBs provide correct empirical coverage and are more informative. The proposed SCBs are illustrated with two real examples. An extension to handle missing censoring indicators is also outlined.

Locality in A-movement
… theory of syntactic movement solves several empirical challenges for Relativized Minimality, while incorporating its key insights. Chapter 1 introduces the theory of phrase structure, syntactic movement, and abstract Case to be adopted throughout the dissertation. This chapter also lays out a …

Confidence bands for survival functions under semiparametric random censorship models
In medical reports point estimates and pointwise confidence intervals of parameters are usually displayed. When the parameter is a survival function, however, the approach of joining the upper end points of individual interval estimates obtained at several points and likewise for the lower end …

Estimating the Difference of Percentiles from Two Independent Populations.
… The efficiency of this method is examined via coverage rates obtained in a simulation study done with the statistical software R.</p>
