Spatial analysis of tree species occurrence: an example of Mount Kenya region
(2006)
Ecologists often seek to predict species distributions of environmental
variables. Statistical models are useful for making predictions about occurrence of
species based on the variables derived from remote sensing or ...
Modeling of stock indices using asymmetric GARCH models
(2005)
This study discusses GARCH modeling with a special focus on the fitting of GARCH models to financial
return series. Most popular asymmetric GARCH models are considered by comparing the modeling
