Introducing International Accounting Standards to an emerging capital market: relative familiarity and language effect in Egypt

Fuzzy linear regression and its applications to forecasting in uncertain environment

This article applies the method of intervention analysis to the study of flows of U.K. air passengers to a variety of destinations. The significance and form of interventions on U.K. air travel are examined for the U.S. bombing of Libya in 1986 for which implicit assistance was given by the United Kingdom, the Lockerbie air disaster (1988), and the Persian Gulf crisis (1990-1991). The effects of these interventions on U.K. air travel vary in onset, magnitude, and duration according to the destination involved and the state that a crisis has reached.

The Threat of Terrorism as an Intervention on International Travel Flows

This study evaluates the forecasting performance of two modeling approaches, ARIMA and Thomas-Fiering, for selected water quality constituents and streamflow of the Yesilirmak River at Durucasu monitoring station. For this purpose, 13-year (1984-1996) monthly time series records were used to obtain the best model of each water quality constituent and streamflow from both modeling approaches. The comparison of the mean and variance of 5-year (1997-2001) observed data vs. forecasted data from the selected best models showed that the pH model from Thomas-Fiering, and EC and Cl^- models from ARIMA modeling approaches should be used with caution since the forecasting values from these models does not preserve the basic statistics of observed data in terms of mean. Also the results of forecast accuracy measures including root mean square error and mean absolute error calculated for two approaches indicated that between two approaches, for Yesilirmak River Thomas-Fiering model presents more reliable forecasting of water quality constituents and streamflow than ARIMA model.
