Robert Hall was the first to derive the effects of rational expectations for consumption. His theory states that if Milton Friedman’s permanent income hypothesis is correct, which in short says current income should be viewed as the sum of permanent income and transitory income and that consumption depends primarily on permanent income, and if consumers have rational expectations, then any ...
Ordination or gradient analysis, in multivariate analysis, is a method complementary to data clustering, and used mainly in exploratory data analysis (rather than in hypothesis testing). In contrast to cluster analysis, ordination orders quantities in a (usually lower-dimensional) latent space. In the ordination space, quantities that are near ...
Galton's experimental setup "Standard eugenics scheme of descent" – early application of Galton's insight [1]. In statistics, regression toward the mean (also called regression to the mean, reversion to the mean, and reversion to mediocrity) is the phenomenon where if one sample of a random variable is extreme, the next sampling of the same random variable is likely to be closer to its mean.
A curve of output against input. The areas of increasing, diminishing and negative returns are identified at points along the curve. There is also a point of maximum yield which is the point on the curve where producing another unit of output becomes inefficient and unproductive.
Southeastern Conference newcomer No. 17 Oklahoma is quickly learning that there are no off days in conference matchups. Saturday's game in Athens, Ga., against Georgia looks to be no different.
Just like kids, animals often times do things we don't expect them to do or do the exact opposite of what they're told. Wesley is a horse with a big personality.
A baby boomer putting money into a piggy bank. Following the Second World War, baby boomers benefited en masse from the economic boom that followed, with the U.S. coming out of the war as the true ...
There is a close relationship between any inverse demand function for a linear demand equation and the marginal revenue function. For any linear demand function with an inverse demand equation of the form P = a - bQ, the marginal revenue function has the form MR = a - 2bQ. [6]
