Investigating Nonlinearity: A Note on the Implementation of Hamilton's Methodology
In this paper we give an account of the new approach to nonlinear econometric modelling proposed by Hamilton (2001) and briefly describe some of the methods of nonlinear optimization that may be used in the Gauss computer program provided by Hamilton for the implementation of his methodology. The performance of this program is investigated using data relating to Hamilton's example concerning the US Phillips curve, two versions of the Gauss software and a range of alternative numerical optimization options and values for the important Gauss parameter _oprteps. Finally, the effects of changes in the sample data on the results produced by Hamilton's procedure are explored. The results presented suggest some clear conclusions, which will be of value to those contemplating working with Hamilton's new method.
Arkansas Soybean Performance Tests 2008
Soybean cultivar performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The tests provide information to companies developing cultivars and/or marketing seed within the state, and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating cultivar recommendations for soybean producer
Arkansas Soybean Performance Tests 2011
Soybean variety and strain performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Arkansas Crop Variety Improvement Program. The tests provide information to companies developing varieties and/or marketing seed within the state, and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating variety recommendations for soybean producers

The Cosmic Microwave Background and Inflation Parameters
We review the currrent cosmic parameter determinations of relevance to
inflation using the WMAP-1year, Boomerang, CBI, Acbar and other CMB data. The
basic steps in the pipelines which determine the bandpowers from the raw data
from which these estimations are made are summarized. We forecast how the
precision is likely to improve with more years of WMAP in combination with
future ground-based experiments and with Planck. We address whether the current
data indicates strong breaking from uniform acceleration through the relatively
small region of the inflaton potential that the CMB probes, manifest in the
much-discussed running spectral index or in even more radical braking/breaking
scenarios. Although some weak ``anomalies'' appear in the current data, the
statistical case is not there. However increased precision, at the high
multipole end and with polarization measurements, will significantly curtail
current freedom.Comment: 24 pages, 10 figures, 2 tables, Int. J. Theor. Phys. 2004, ed. E.
