Even as farm ownership is declining in the US as a whole, an increasing number of Latinos are entering the farming business. In fact, Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group of farm owner/operators in Missouri and in the US as a whole...
Investigating a countercyclical price level with procyclical inflation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
this finding in a set of simulated time series while also keeping inflation procyclical. Furthermore, the simulations show that this occurrence can be produced by moving the simulated time series of the price level out of phase with the output time series...
Millimeter Laser Ranging to the Moon: a comprehensive theoretical model for advanced data analysis
(arXiv, 2009)
should inevitably be based on the theory of general relativity, fully incorporate the relevant geophysical/selenophysical processes and rely upon the most recent IAU standards in order to give us the opportunity to perform the most precise fundamental...
Performance Impacts Due to Number Portability Under Various Routing Schemes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)
Number portability allows a user to keep her telephone number as she moves to another provider. Number portability has been adopted by more and more countries around the world. A number that has a new provider is called a ported number. Traversal...

Are Internal Capital Markets Good for Innovation?
(2007-07)
like R&D with long-term, uncertain payoffs. This paper uses a comprehensive sample of diversified and nondiversified firms from 1980 to 1999 to study the relationship between diversification and innovation. I find a robust negative correlation between...
Meta-analysis of single-subject research using hierarchical linear modeling : empirical examination of the procedure and functional behavior assessment-based interventions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The role of evidence-based practices in both research and practice continue to provoke issues of disagreement and definition across multiple fields. ...
Spatio-Temporal Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling: Tropical Ocean Surface Winds
(American Statistical Association, 2001)
of these processes and large number of observation/prediction locations preclude the use of traditional covariance-based space-time statistical methods. Alternatively, we focus on conditionally-specified (i.e., hierarchical) spatio-temporal models. These methods...
A comparison of confirmatory factor analysis and task analysis of fluid intelligence cognitive subtests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Cross-battery assessment relies on the classification of cognitive subtests into the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory's broad and narrow ability definitions. Generally, broad ability classifications have used ability data analyzed through factor...
On the Number of Sparse RSA Exponents
(2002)
An RSA modulus is a product M = pl of two primes p and l. We show that for almost all RSA moduli M, the number of sparse exponents e (which allow for fast RSA encryption) with the property that gcd(e,φ(M)) = 1 (hence RSA decryption can also...
When Point Estimates Miss the Point: Stochastic Modeling of WTO Restrictions
(2005-11)
Point estimates of agricultural and trade policy impacts often paint an incomplete or even misleading picture. For many purposes it is important to estimate a distribution of
outcomes. Stochastic modeling can be especially ...
