Seemingly Unrelated Regressions
In econometrics Econometrics is an application of statistical methods to economic data in order to give empirical content to economic relationships. M. Hashem Pesaran (1987). "Econometrics", '' The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics'', v. 2, p. 8 p. 8 ..., the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) or seemingly unrelated regression equations (SURE) model, proposed by Arnold Zellner in (1962), is a generalization of a linear regression model that consists of several regression equations, each having its own dependent variable and potentially different sets of exogenous explanatory variables. Each equation is a valid linear regression on its own and can be estimated separately, which is why the system is called ''seemingly unrelated'', although some authors suggest that the term ''seemingly related'' would be more appropriate, since the error terms are assumed to be correlated across the equations. The model can be estimated equation-by-equation using standard ordin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sur Dynasty
The Sur Empire was an empire ruled by the Afghan (ethnonym), Afghan-origin Sur dynasty in North India, northern India for nearly 16 or 18 years, between 1538/1540 and 1556, with Sasaram (in modern-day Bihar) serving as its capital. It was founded by Sher Shah Suri. The Sur dynasty held control of nearly all the Mughal Empire territories along the Indo-Gangetic Plain, from Balochistan, Pakistan, eastern Balochistan in the west of Indus River to modern-day Rakhine State, Rakhine, Myanmar in the east. Even as Sher Shah Suri consolidated his power over North India, Eastern India was still considered to be the seat of Sur power in India. This is demonstrated by the fact that 8 of the 16 silver mint cities he established were in the region between Chunar and Padma Division, Fathabad. Reign of Sher Shah Suri War with the Bengal Sultanate and Mughal Empire (1537–1540) Sher Shah Suri's relentless campaigns on the Bengal Sultanate prompted its ruler to request aid from Humayun, ...

Súr (chieftain)
Súr or Sur ( or ''Assur''; died 15 August 955) was a Hungarian chieftain and military leader in the 10th century. He was one of the generals, alongside Bulcsú and Lehel, who were executed after the Battle of Lechfeld. Name and tribal territory Historian György Györffy considered that Súr's name derived from an old Turkic dignity called "''čor''" in the 7th century, which title was then taken over by the Pechenegs ("''čur''"). In contrast, Gyula Kristó argued that his name originated from the Slavic equivalent "''šurъ''" meaning "brother-in-law". Based on his name Györffy considered that Súr was of Pecheneg origin, who came from a subjugated tribe, which was ordered to settle down along the western border during the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin protecting and guarding the '' gyepűelve'' there. Györffy argued that Súr was progenitor of the ''gens'' (clan) Osl, which possessed landholdings in Sopron County in the 13th century, as his name occurs ...

Sur (poet)
Surdas was a 16th-century blind Hindu devotional poet and singer, who was known for his works written in praise of Krishna. His compositions captured his devotion towards Krishna. Most of his poems were written in the Braj language, while some were also written in other dialects of medieval Hindi, like Awadhi. Sūrdās's biography is most often told through the lens of the Vallabha Sampradāya aka the Puṣṭimārga. The Puṣṭimārga regards Sūrdās as an initiated disciple of Vallabha, and his hagiography is told in the '' Caurāsī Vaiṣṇavan kī Vārtā'' by Gokulnāth and Harirāy. Sūrdās' poems, along with those of other Aṣṭachāp poets, form a central part of Puṣṭimārga liturgical singing-worship. However modern scholars consider the connection between Sūrdās and Vallabha and his sect to be ahistorical. The book ''Sur Sagar'' (Sur's Ocean) is traditionally attributed to Surdas. However, many of the poems in the book seem to be written by later ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
