Measures of dispersion are defined as functionals satisfying certain equivariance and order conditions. In the main part of the paper attention is restricted to symmetric distributions. Different ...

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd moments of r, the distance to nearest neighbor, are derived so as to generalize for use in k dimensions a measure of spacing based on the ratio of the mean distance observed in a ...

Search models with posting and match-specific heterogeneity generate wage dispersion. Given K values for the match-specific variable, it is known that there are K reservation wages that could be ...

Meteorological dispersion modeling (DM) and land-use regression modeling (LUR) are alternative methods describing small scale variations in air pollution levels, and both have been documented to ...
