Another scenario is possible when an owner/developer wants to build with ICFs and the architect and or engineer may not be familiar with the product. In most cases, this creates a necessity to expedite a learning curve. Possibly to alleviate risk, increased safety factors may be applied on th...
[1] The authors wish to thank Lambert Njo-Lea for his preliminary work, which was key to the analysis. [2] Readers interested in deriving empirical estimates about the variance of the model’s estimators could use a Newey-West estimator that explicitly accounts for the persistence arising ...

We apply our method to make forecasts for the price of photovoltaic modules. Abstract Recently it has become clear that many technologies follow a generalized version of Moore's law, i.e. costs tend to drop exponentially, at different rates that depend on the technology. Here we formulate Moor...
“When with such specific tests one has sufficient numbers, they become sensitive tests; in the terminology of Neyman and Pearson they become ‘powerful’. ” As a result of the exchange between Berkson and Fisher, the broader issue of ‘inference results’ vs. ‘evidence’ was put aside by...
