Seemingly Unrelated Research in Economics
<p>In my first chapter, my co-authors and I1 estimate the effect of current affective states on reported satisfaction with life. The satisfaction with life scale is a well-established measure of thriving and its use for both research and behavioral interventions requires understanding how external …

Estimating the coefficients in a system of compatible growth and yield equations for Loblolly pine
… in the coefficient estimation procedure. Seemingly unrelated regression techniques were used to estimate the coefficients. The three methods resulted in coefficient estimates that were similar, with seemingly unrelated regression producing the most efficient estimators. Prediction ability …

Pretest Estimators for the Two Sample Linear Statistical Model
… sample heteroscedastic model is the Zellner's seemingly unrelated regression model with contemporaneously correlated errors. We will examine the pretest estimator for Zellner's seemingly unrelated regression model, and show its risk characteristics.

The Sled, the Litter, and the Plot: Finding Connections Between Mundane Material Culture From World War II's USS North Carolina
… "mundane" artifacts. The object biographies of seemingly unrelated objects -- in this case the Kingfisher sea sled, a vertical plotting board, and a stretcher -- showcase elements of construction, technological improvement, and inferred value. Additionally, events and people connect these …

Essays on the Effectiveness of Public School Spending and Simultaneous Equation Quantile Regression
The final essay suggests a robust alternative to Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) for two equations. This simultaneous equation median regression estimator is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results support the conjecture that this estimator is unbiased, Normally …

Ontological Machines: Subjectivity and Relational Desire in Immersive and Interactive Environments
… the exhibition spaces of installation art. These seemingly unrelated activities share a range of technological and operational similarities that render their combined study under the banner of ‘immersive and interactive environments’ both novel and necessary. <br/><br/>The lack of broad engagement …

Eosinophiles in Relation to Dietary Stress
… seems physiologically and pathologically unrelated to the general tissue hormone of corticoida as put forth by Hartmann and coworkers (2). In the same light, diversification seems to be at hand in a comparison of the maladie poatoperatorie as noted by the French surgeon Rene Leriche (3), …

Mechanisms of Pteridine-Ommochrome Interactions in Drosophila Melanogaster
… Each pigment is the end product of a seemingly unrelated metabolic pathway (Ziegler 1961; Kaufman 1967a). Mutations which alter the synthesis of these pigments are manifested as numerous variations in eye color (Lindsley and Grell 1967). Suppressed production of brown pigment results …

A Projective Geometry as a Lattice
… Lattice theory and projective geometry are two seemingly unrelated branches of mathematics. With the proper approach a projective geometry can be shown to be a lattice.<br>PROCEDURE: A lattice is developed using two different approaches and group theory is introduced. Next the relationship …

Acquired status in free and open source software user groups
… a seamless weaving of new and previously seemingly unrelated concepts on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) participation into an integrated substantive framework. The research demonstrates how patterns of behaviour amongst FOSS participants serve as currency for the acquisition of …

Forecasting volatilities in option pricing: An application of Bayesian inference
… systems of simultaneous equations, systems of seemingly unrelated regressions, a naive model, and an implied volatility model (i.e., the ""inverse"" Black option model). Volatility forecasts are made with those individual models under two scenarios involving (1) forecasting over three …

Maximum-likelihood-based confidence regions and hypothesis tests for selected statistical models.
… types of statistical models. The models are a seemingly unrelated regression model, a bivariate Poisson regression model, and a model of two inversely-related Poisson rate parameters with misclassified data. The seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model promotes more efficient estimation as …

A Computational Paradigm on Network-Based Models of Computation
… captures the essence of a number of problems in seemingly unrelated contexts in database design, pattern recognition, image processing, VLSI design, computer vision, and robot navigation. The main contribution of this work is to provide a computational paradigm which involves the unifying …

Experience in Action: Incorporating Somatic Education into the General Music Classroom
… body, understanding the relationships between seemingly unrelated body parts, and engaging in student-led constructive rest in the semi-supine position. Somatic education pairs fluidly with the general music curriculum, as the primary pedagogues already incorporate movement and body awareness …

Essays on Semi-parametric Bayesian Econometric Methods
… as special cases of the GLS estimator, the Seemingly Unrelated Regression for equation systems, and the Random Effects Model for panel data, which can be applied to many fields such as the demand analysis in Chapter 1. Chapter 3 focuses on the subset selection for the efficiencies of firms, …

Cost synergies in the commercial banking industry: An econometric examination
… The system of equations was estimated using seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) technique. The estimation of the cost function was carried out using a sample of 2,033 banks from Call Reports tapes for the three-year period 1985-1987. The cost functions for branch banks and unit banks were …

In service, on common ground: finding commonality between user, architecture and landscape through the ritual of dining
This research is about finding commonality between seemingly unrelated entities. It seeks to enhance an existing essential service situated on a site that brings together people of all walks of life, i.e. on common ground. By intervening at this level there is an opportunity to adapt the current …

Decloaking disability : images of disability and technology in science fiction media
… such a discussion is also relevant to seemingly unrelated modes of characterizing the other, such as the archetype of the cyborg, the queer body, or the formation of non-traditional social groups, even to images of the city as urban ruin.
