Simar and Wilson [ 11] challenge this approach by demonstrating that bias may arise, since the efficiency score is a point estimate without a probability distribution around it as required by the Tobit methodology or any other parametric regression technique.
The structure of DBEM matrices has been efficiently exploited and it has been demonstrated that, since the cracks form only small parts of the whole structure, the use of hierarchical matrices can be particularly advantageous.
It has been demonstrated that since aluminium is the only metal that is highly reflective in the ultraviolet spectrum of solar radiation, aluminium-based mirrors are the best option.
After providing a detailed description of the structure of the resettlement program, the report demonstrates that since the program's enactment in 1980, the amount of federal funding devoted to it has declined while the refugees entering the US have become more diverse and in need of more intensive support.
It has recently been demonstrated that, since conservation interventions take place within dynamic systems, and involve either encouraging or discouraging changes in those systems, the reference frame against which interventions are evaluated fundamentally determines how much effort is required to achieve objectives, and whether they are deemed successful.
A comprehensive database of palmprint palmvein images was established to verify the proposed system, and the experimental results demonstrated that since palmprint and palmvein contain complementary information, much higher accuracy could be achieved by fusing them than using only one of them.
The laws of usage demonstrate that since everyone does not dial up at the same time, a handful of ports can be sufficient for many users.
An examination of the Trump Administration's FCPA enforcement record during its first year demonstrates that, since taking office, the Trump Administration has taken more than two dozen enforcement actions against corporations and individuals for FCPA violations all over the world, including in Asia.
