Model fertility schedules revisited: The log-multiplicative model approach
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
This paper reconsiders Coale and Trussell's (1974) specification of model fertility schedules by age. It formally presents model fertility schedules within the framework of categorical data analysis. Specifically, births ...
Isotonic smoothing splines under sequential designs
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
Isotonic smoothing splines are introduced as a natural extension of ordinary isotonic estimates in the estimation of a regression function [mu](x)=E{Y|X=x}. A constructive characterization for the isotonic smoothing splines ...
Interstate migration of the US poverty population: Immigration “pushes” and welfare magnet “pulls”
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Human Sciences Press; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-07)
This study evaluates the social and demographic structure of poverty migration during the 1985–90 period based on an analysis of recent census data. Particular attention is given to the roles of two policy-relevant factors ...
Division of family property in Taiwan

(SAGE PERIODICALS PRESS, 1997)
In this article, the authors propose to model the influence of occupational structure on the sex-typing of occupational choice within a log-linear model framework. A key feature of the framework is that the explanatory ...
A central limit theorem for functions of a Markov chain with applications to shifts
(Elsevier, 1992-05)
A sufficient condition is developed for partial sums of a function of a stationary, ergodic Markov chain to be asymptotically normal. For Bernoulli and Lebesgue shifts, the condition may be related to the Fourier coefficients ...
Common Consequence Conditions in Decision Making under Risk
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-04)
We generalize the Allais common consequence effect by describing three common consequence effect conditions and characterizing their implications for the probability weighting function in rank-dependent expected utility. ...
