Olajide","doi":"10.54908/iljs.2015.02.02.010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54908/iljs.2015.02.02.010","url":null,"abstract":"There are several methods of estimating dynamic panel data models in the context of both micro-economic and macro-economic data. This paper investigates the performance of five different estimators of dynamic panel data models (the random effect model). A Monte Carlo experiment was conducted when individual, N is large and time dimension, T is finite and the error component model is assumed to be serially correlated. The bias and Root Mean Square Error criterion were used to access the performance of different estimators under consideration. We find that the Anderson-Hsiao using lagged differences as instrument (AH(d)) performs better when the time dimension is small (T=5), Anderson-Hsiao using lagged levels as instrument (AH(l)) performs better when T is moderate(T=10) and the first step Arellano-Bond estimator (ABGMM1) outperforms all other estimators when T increases to 20, this confirms the work of Kiviet (1995) and Judson-Owen(1996) that no estimator has been found to be appropriate choice in all circumstances. For a dynamic panel data with large time dimension we suggest that the first step Arellano-Bond Estimator (ABGMM1) Estimator is appropriate. The result shows that the bias of the first step Arellano-Bond estimator (ABGMM1) estimate is severe with small time dimension and the ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Least Square Dummy Variable (LSDV) are also bias when T is small. It was discovered that the effect of serial correlation is negligible irrespective of the order.

This form of input is cumbersome and not user friendly to some people (drivers, handicaps etc.). These problems have led to a lot of researches in development of natural and user friendly input such as speech. Most of the works in this area are in English, French, Chinese and other languages. This makes very important a research in using standard Yorùbá as an input in telephone voice dialing. The telephone voice dialing in Yorùbá is achieved through speech recognition training phase and recognition phase of the algorithm. The raw speech captured were digitalized and processed to achieve the speech signal which was used in the pattern matching of the system to allow authorized users and disallow the unauthorized users from using the system. The telephone voice dialing algorithm was developed through pre-emphasis filter, framing and windowing and dynamic time warp. With the design, telephone voice dialing in other languages could also be developed following the same procedures.","PeriodicalId":197712,"journal":{"name":"Ilorin Journal of Science","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133590745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
