Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics), Vol. 29, No. 2 (1980), pp. 142-148 (7 pages) A test of the stability over time of the coefficients of a linear regression model ...

An improved weighted least square (LS) method for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping using the estimating equation (EE) algorithm was developed recently. The method is more efficient than both ...

A novel investment strategy that maximizes the expected portfolio value bounded within a target range. This strategy achieves a similar efficient frontier, a better downside-return trade-off, compared ...

Log-linear least-squares method A statistical technique for fitting a curve to a set of data points. One of the variables is transformed by taking its logarithm, and then a straight line is fitted ...
