Choice among models

Ebook "Cryptic female choice in arthropods: Patterns, mechanisms and prospects" offers an essential source of information on how two fields, selective cooperation and individual sex interests, work together in the context of cryptic female choice in nature, using arthropods as model organisms. It is bound to spark valuable discussions among scientists working in evolutionary biology across the world, motivating new generations to unveil the astonishing secrets of sexual biology throughout the animal kingdom.

The results show that individual variables and nature of the operation are the main factors influencing customer’s choice for banking services’ distribution channels. Moreover, we also find that service quality perceived by customers among different channels have dissimilar effects on overall customer satisfaction. The results also propose a conceptual model of multi-channel customer satisfaction in a Vietnamese banking context.

As leadership styles are the choice of leaders for their behavior and models of managing business, leadership styles play a decisive role in operational patterns and business performance of enterprises. Among leadership styles, laissez-faire style is the style in which the leaders hardly use their power to impact on their subordinates but empower subordinates to make decisions.

The CECL revised accounting standard for credit loss provisioning is intended to represent a forward-looking and proactive methodology that is conditioned on expectations of the economic cycle. In this study we analyze the impact of several modeling assumptions - such as the methodology for projecting expected paths of macroeconomic variables, incorporation of bank-specific variables or the choice of macroeconomic variables – upon characteristics of loan loss provisions, such as the degree of pro-cyclicality.

Recognising the pattern of pest infestation helps greatly to understand the changes in the population dynamics due to several biological, environmental and climatological factors. As data are count in nature, suitable choice of distribution as well as linear or non-linear growth models are obvious to capture the variability present the population. If data are not properly fitted, integrity of scientific inference will be at stake. Hence, in the present study, an attempt has been made to fit appropriate discrete distributions along with the usual linear and non-linear modular approach.

The study designs a questionnaire and distributes it among some patients who are waiting to receive medical care at this hospital. The survey only concentrates on patience who used the medical treatment for at least two times. Structural equation modeling is used to examine the hypotheses of this survey. The results indicate that WOM could increase the patience’s awareness and positively influence on patience’s choice for getting more treatment.

In this paper we have discussed all possible boundary values used in the ordinary Skyrme model. Among the solutions to these boundary conditions the non-skyrmion and skyrmion one exist according to certain choices. The free parameter R in the boundary value conditions is shown to be related to the density of the nuclear matter in its Wigner-Seitz model.

In this paper, I describe how Donnellan's distinction between referential and attributive uses of definite descriptions should be represented in a computational model of reference. After briefly discussing the significance of Donnellan's distinction, I reinterpret it as being three-tiered, relating to object representation, referring intentions, and choice of rehrring expression. I then present a cognitive model of referring, the components of which correspond to this analysis, and discuss the interaction that takes place among those components.

I model a “Tiebout”-style housing market in which house prices ration access to desirable schools, which may be desirable either because they are particularly effective or because they enroll a desirable set of students.

A third group of experiments explored possible differences in willingness to pay and willingness to accept. In these experiments, the choices involved valuations of everyday objects (e.g. a coffee mug). It has been suggested that observed differences are due to an asymmetry of preferences between losses and gains that might be exacerbated by age. Finally, both younger and older subjects participated in beauty contest games, in which strategic thinking plays a central role.

The empirical literature on human capital investment generally focuses on education and health investments using reduced form models that integrate the health production process with a model of household choice. The demand studies for health outcomes usually evaluate the impact that household and community level characteristics, like the usage and availability of health facilities, may have on distinct health measures.

We resolve these issues as follows. We show that a nonincreasing returns to scale (nrs) model is usually appropriate when modeling rational choice among investors. We show when multiple risk and return measures can justifiably be combined and identify some suitable measures. We show we need a nonlinear model to justify the assumption of convexity and to model diversification. We develop a method to approximate a solution to this model as accurately as needed using a sequence of linear models. Coherent measures of risk come up again and again in our discussion.

Asset prices are determined by investors’ risk preferences and by the distributions of assets’ risky future payments. Economists refer to these two bases of prices as investor "tastes" and the economy’s "technologies" for generating asset returns. A satisfactory theory of asset valuation must consider how individuals allocate their wealth among assets having different future payments. This chapter explores the development of expected utility theory, the standard approach for modeling investor choices over risky assets....
