摘要:

The Canadian Job Vacancy Survey has been developed to meet the need for current information on the regional and occupational demand for labor. It is comparable in magnitude and complexity to the Canadian Labor Force Survey which supplies current information on the supply of labor.

摘要:

Balanced repeated replications (BRR) is a general method for computing standard errors. It is useful when mathematical distribution theory is impractical or lacking, and especially for analytical statistics based on complex samples where clustering destroys the independence of observations. Presented are results of methods used to measure standard errors of regression coefficients for several multivariate techniques. The basic designs of the several samples comprised two primary selections (PS) per stratum.

摘要:

The design and analysis of experiments should take into account all of the major sources of variability that are expected to influence the responses. In this article a description is given of types of commonly used experimental plans that do not permit useful inferences to be made from the effects of treatment comparisons because they do not allow for the estimation of all major sources of variability that affect the treatment comparisons.

摘要:

A difficult regression parameter estimation problem is posed when the data sample is hypothesized to have been generated by more than a single regression model. To find the best-fitting number and location of underlying regression systems, the investigator must specify both the statistical criterion and the search-estimation procedure to be used. The approach outlined in this article is essentially a wedding of hierarchical clustering and standard regression theory. As the name suggests, piecewise regression may be described as a method of finding that piecewise continuous function which best describes the data sample. Computational procedures and a fully-worked example, together with possible extensions, are provided.

摘要:

A supplementary method of demonstrating the mortality risk from smoking (or obviously from any other “risk factor”) is proposed. By subjecting cigarette smokers to two mortality risks, one the non-smokers' death rate and the other the “excessive” death rate of smokers, a multiple decrement life table for smokers can be computed. From this table, one can determine the probability of death as a direct result of cigarette smoking for a person aged 37 who continues his present cigarette habit for the remainder of his life. The probability of death from cigarette smoking before age 87 ranges from a low of 12.5 percent for females to a high of 50.7 percent for males who inhale deeply.

摘要:

Aggregate saving functions have been grouped into several models which have similar theoretical underpinnings. They are then tested under criteria pertaining to their predictive accuracy and their economic reasonableness. It is found that saving is predicted much more accurately when it includes net investment in consumer durables (i.e., “use value” saving,DS) as opposed to when it is defined as only personal saving (S). In predictingDS, the functions which use current income and lagged consumption perform best. In predictingS, the functions which perform best are those which include liquid assets in addition to current income and lagged consumption.

摘要:

The hypothesis that consumers use a two-stage procedure to maximize a utility function in which food items are strongly separable from non-food items is combined with prior information about food price correlations to derive statistically manageable demand equations for fresh oranges and frozen orange concentrate. Special attention is given to the problem of measuring demand when all the variables are measured with error. A new statistical method, which yields consistent demand parameter estimates when such errors are present, is used to compute price and income elasticities of demand.

摘要:

After reviewing Friedman's time series model, this article presents a test of whether or not permanent consumption and transitory income are correlated. We conclude utilizing essentially the same data series and the same measure of permanent income as Friedman that a significant positive correlation exists between these variables as well as between permanent and transitory income.

摘要:

This article is concerned with testing a model of the term structure of interest rates. The model relates the term premiums embodied in forward rates to the level of interest rates and an index of business confidence. Theoretical considerations suggest that the latter variables are inversely related to term premiums. Empirical implementation focuses on the use of optimal forecasts of spot rates implied by time series models as simulated values of market forecasts. Tests of the model using the Durand data for 1900–1958 indicate the presence of the inverse relationships suggested.

摘要:

The purpose of this article is to analyze the investment behavior of firms by introducing capital appropriations as an intermediate stage of the investment process. Investment process is divided into two stages: that leading to appropriation of funds and that from appropriations to actual expenditures.
