Excess of zeros

Undirected graphical models or Markov random fields have been a popular class of models for representing conditional dependence relationships between nodes. In particular, Markov networks help us to understand complex interactions between genes in biological processes of a cell.

The use of resource management technologies such as zero tillage, which can affect the soil properties, can restore soil health that is degrading at a rapid pace due to intensive agriculture, inefficient and imbalanced use of fertilisers, high-yielding crops, the use of heavy machinery, excessive tillage, etc. The health of the soil can be measured by the capacity of microorganisms that can act as early warning signals. To improve soil quality, zero tillage is recommended globally and has significant effects on soil microbial communities.

Complex designs are common in (observational) clinical studies. Sequencing data for such studies are produced more and more often, implying challenges for the analysis, such as excess of zeros, presence of random effects and multi-parameter inference.

Assays that are capable of detecting genome-wide chromatin interactions have produced massive amount of data and led to great understanding of the chromosomal three-dimensional (3D) structure. As technology becomes more sophisticated, higher-and-higher resolution data are being produced, going from the initial 1 Megabases (Mb) resolution to the current 10 Kilobases (Kb) or even 1 Kb resolution.

The modeling of insects/pests population dynamics is to understand how the respective population change arises owing to the interplay of environmental forces, density dependent regulation and inherent stochasticity imbibed in the system. Enormous applications of such modeling are found in natural science. It is quite obvious that excess zeros are common phenomenon in counting insects.

Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on principles of minimum soil disturbance through zero or minimum tillage operations, residue retention on soil surface and crop diversification which not only improves healthy functioning of soil but also enhances nutrient availability, its biological quality and aggregate formation. On the other hand, conventional tillage (CT) practices characterized by excessive tillage, residue removal and monoculture are often associated with the degradation of soil mainly in terms of depletion of Soil Organi arbon (SOC), sub-soil compaction and loss of biodiversity.

The interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds in the third quarter of 2010 has averaged less than 2.6 percent. 7 It is not plausible that interest rates could decline much further, even in response to the most extreme fiscal adjustment. The short-term rate in the United States is already at zero so it can literally fall no further, and the long-term rate will surely reach a plateau in excess of zero. After more than a decade of deflation, the interest rate on 10-year bonds in Japan is still 0.9 percent, leaving a real yield that is approximately the same as in...

Notwithstanding the fact that the policy rate is near its zero lower bound, the Federal Reserve retains a number of tools and strategies for providing additional stimulus. I will focus here on three that have been part of recent staff analyses and discussion at FOMC meetings: (1) conducting additional purchases of longer-term securities, (2) modifying the Committee’s communication, and (3) reducing the interest paid on excess reserves. I will also comment on a fourth strategy, proposed by several economists--namely, that the FOMC increase its inflation goals. ...

The run-up to the 2008 global nancial crisis was characterised by an environment of low interest rates and a rapid increase in housing market activity across OECD countries. Some scholars argue that expansionary monetary policy has been signicantly responsible for the low level of interest rates and the subsequent house price boom. Others contend that a scarcity of nancial assets led to capital inows to developed economies, depressing long rates in government bond markets and stimulating an increase in demand for housing.

The effect is to leave the North with positive rates of genuine savings, and many resource-rich Southern countries with negative or near-zero rates. This distracts attention from analysis of the ‘environmental space’ occupied by economies with strong, traditionally-defined economic growth — and excessive consumption of the world’s resources. 23 Many people argue that reducing Northern consumption levels is central to curbing excessive resource depletion and pollution and reducing global inequalities in energy use and other forms of consumption.

In the current crisis, the Keynesian response of stimulating aggregate demand through easy money and loose fiscal policy is correct to a point. But flooding the system with excess liquidity that drives short-term interest rates to near zero has been a serious mistake. By the end of 2008, the interest rates on federal funds and short-term Treasury Bills were virtually zero— where they remain today (figure 1). In this liquidity trap, the interbank market remains almost paralyzed so that further Fed injections of liquidity simply led to a buildup of excess reserves in U.S.

It is therefore possible that the same amount of alcohol may produce a higher Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in the elderly than younger people. Elderly car drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a motoring accident after consuming even a small amount of alcohol, than they are at a zero level of alcohol. Alcohol depresses the brain function to a greater extent in older people, impairing coordination and memory, which can lead to falls and general confusion. It can also heighten emotions leading to moodiness, irritability or even violence.
