ASIN: 0521587824 |
Book Description
Time series analysis has undergone many changes during recent years with the advent of unit roots and cointegration. This textbook by G. S. Maddala and In-Moo Kim is based on a successful lecture program and provides a comprehensive review of these topics as well as structural change. G. S. Maddala is one of the most distinguished writers of graduate and undergraduate econometrics textbooks today and Unit Roots, Cointegration and Structural Change represents a major contribution that will be of interest both to specialists and graduate and undergraduate students.Customer Reviews:
Very Helpful.......2007-01-11
Very good high level introduction book.......2005-12-18
modern econometrics with latest developments.......2001-07-03
The asymptotic theory is well covered but the unique feature of the book is that it points out that the asymptotics can give very poor approximations in small to moderate sample sizes. The authors provide alternatives including the use of the bootstrap for standard error estimates, confidence bounds and hypothesis testing (particularly tests for unit roots).
It is clear and covers the important literature. Much like Franses book it covers bootstrap and Bayesian methods and really does provide a current and useful approach to important problems and methodology in econometrics.
It could be used for a special topics graduate course or as a supplement to a graduate course in econometrics.
Excellent Book.......2000-08-19

Ecohydrology: Darwinian Expression of Vegetation Form and Function
Peter S. Eagleson Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0521619912 |
Book Description
This volume is devoted to the derivation and application of simplified bioclimatic boundary conditions at vegetated land surfaces using natural selection of vegetation characteristics driven by productivity maximization. It investigates the internal control of forest growth by the vertical fluxes of light, CO2, water vapor, and heat within the canopy, as well as the external control offered by the balances of thermal energy and water. Through these means it seeks to determine how the physical characteristics and productivity of forest communities are related to the climates and soils in which they are found. Ecohydrology bridges the fields of hydrology and ecology and proposes new unifying principles derived from the concept of natural selection. It also has potential application in determining the response of vegetation to slow variations in climate and will provide fascinating reading for graduate-level students and research scientists working in ecohydrology, hydroclimatology, forest ecology, and surface water hydrology.

Renting-to-own.......2006-10-31
How do people answer our questions ?.......2000-04-04
The notion of looking inside the question answering process is very important for folks writing and administering questionnaire surveys. This text doesn't so much tell you how to do surveys and interviews, as it gets you thinking about how you are interacting with your respondents.
For example, Sudman, et al. will get you thinking about surveys and interviews as a conversation - the norms and expectations that respondents will have of you and how they will interpret your questioning. Similarly, you will read about the four stage process that respondents go through in interpreting your questions, bringing up from memory the information they need to answer your questions, how they 'calculate' their answers, and then how they translate their ideas into an answer format.
I would also recommend Tourangeau, et al. "The Pyschology of Survey Response".

The Recumbent Bicycle

ASIN: 189259059X |
Product Description
Recumbent bikes are showing up everywhere. The problem is that hardly anyone knows anything about them. And the major bike media won't cover them (even though they're the fastest-growing bike type). Solution? This book! It's the only book that's all about recumbent bicycles. It covers everything: history, science, sports, touring, city-use, innovations, design and home-building. It's written both for beginners and for experts. It is unbiased as regards makes and models of bikes. Instead, it explains the effects of all the various features found on recumbents, offering pro's and con's while leaving it to the reader to consider their own needs. Recumbents are the most varied bikes on earth in terms of intended design goals, so radically different models can still be great bikes depending on a rider's needs. All types get plenty of respect in this book! With this info and insight, plus plenty of test-riding, anyone can find the right bike for them! ...Or just learn what's really going on with these bikes, for the first time. The first two editions sold thousands, with rave reviews. This fully-revised 3rd edition has a great new feature: it is printed on matte coated paper for wonderful photo quality. It also offers hundreds of B&W and color photos (many new for this edition), updated manufacturer and resource listings, and current news.Customer Reviews:

Not bad.......2003-10-10
Con's: Paper construction is not conducive to carrying in bookbag or pocket; needs to be laminated, made of plastic, or to come with hard carrying case.
A great aid to begin learning a good slew of Japanese verbs.......2003-06-17
Using these cards is convenient. Once learning these 105 verbs, you get the hang of basic Japanese verbs to allow you to approach conjugation and wider vocabulary studies in other books centered on broader rules of japanese verbs.
Very impressive set of cards!.......2002-09-24
I can't recommend these highly enough.......2001-07-19
Learning Kana with Cards.......2000-08-08
The characters on the cards are done in very nice calligraphy, which doesn't always match what you will find in printed material. The only negative comment is that the characters formed with the addition of dots or circles (I don't remember the official name!) are lumped five to a card. Simple and easy to use, the ring allows you to re-order the cards so that you don't memorize the actual sequences.
I would recommend them to anyone attempting to master these new alphabets.

Funny presidential golf anecdotes.......2007-01-28
Great Gift For Golfer.......2004-03-09
For Presidents, "only the golf course says no.".......2003-11-30
Accumulating fascinating anecdotes from his research into the golf games of the Presidents, and combining these with his own experience as a reporter, which includes more than two years spent covering President Clinton, he shows how a President's golf game reflects the inner man. Fourteen of the last seventeen Presidents were golfers to one degree or another, and no reader, whether a golfer or not, will be disappointed in the unique insights and revealing anecdotes the author gives us of Presidents at leisure. What makes this book different from so many others, is that Van Natta is a real writer, carefully choosing his quotations (including on-course remarks), narrating anecdotes so that they have real climaxes, and emphasizing details that are so telling that no reader will fail to see parallels between the man's golf and his Presidential administration.
Though JFK is adjudged the best player of the fourteen, with an "effortless swing," few citizens knew how addicted he was to the game, something he kept secret because, after Eisenhower's administration, golf was considered a political liability. (Ike left cleat marks in the floor leading from the Oval Office to the practice green outside his window.) Ike, JFK, FDR (who was a passionate golfer until he was stricken with polio at age 39), and Gerald Ford are considered the purists of the game, and none of them were ever caught lying about a score, using mulligans (extra shots off the tee), or tossing the ball out of the woods. Not surprisingly, Bill Clinton is considered among the White House's "most polished and prolific golf cheats." As one observer noted, "You don't have to subpoena Whitewater documents. Just watch him on the golf course." He elevated the mulligan to such a new level that it was referred to as a "billigan." Nixon, LBJ, and Warren G. Harding, were also considered cheats.
With a final section devoted to the Bushes, father and son, Van Natta closes his analysis of Presidential golf games with particular panache, since the Bushes so often play together. The book is pure delight, providing a unique take on Presidents, who, on the golf course, face the same challenges as the rest of us, with some of them responding more gracefully to the challenges than others.

Fore!.......2003-07-15
Bill Clinton took so many mulligan's the author called
them "Billigans." He scored himself in the low 80s, similar to his idol JFK, but he literally took over 200 swings. Clinton played loosely with the rules, at times bending them to conform to his ends. Can the phenomena of how a person plays golf be taken and applied to political and administrative behaviour? Psycho-social analysis? Perhaps a dissertation has started somewhere regarding this.
One President drank booze while golfing during prohibition. He also gambled on a every game.
John F. Kennedy was an avid golpher, and fairly decent one at that,
getting scores in the low 80s. But he did keep the fact that he
played the game secret from the public.
Gerald Ford played amateur tourneys and pinged the
bystanders in the crowd from time to time.
The author played with the likes of Clinton and George W.
Bush. G. W. Bush could play through 18 holes in an hour
and a half, while Clinton took six hours. (He liked
to talk a lot more.)
In the past, Presidents didnt' want to be
photographed on the greens. Today it's acceptable, and
perhaps even expected.
14 mini-biographies highlighting the lighter side of the Execs as men and the sport of golf. Very interesting.
