The differences in
the slopes of curves indicate the different elastic properties of the structures.
The deflection rises slower due to the deformation of the soft sample, which causes the gradual increase in
the slope of the curve.
After a decade of so, there is then suddenly a change, where
the slope of the curve steepens tremendously.
«Kink» refers to the change in
the slope of the curve representing the correlation between two variables (in this case, family income and college attendance) that one should see in the portion of curve where the hypothesized causal intervention (in this case, the phase out of the tax credit) is operative.
[5] Thus,
the slope of the curve described by the point estimates in the distribution in Figure 3 is steeper than the corresponding slope in Figure 1.
This special status may now be overburdening the forecasting ability of
the slope of the curve, especially when its use is widened to include stock performance forecasting (at least when used without additional indicators).
At a certain point,
the slope of the curve is flat or 0, meaning that the hedged equity position is insulated from further losses in the market.
This might be easiest to conceptualise if you look at the option value as a function of the stock price, and then realise that the delta is
the slope of that curve.
Mr. Martinez handles those shapes slightly differently in each painting, altering
the slope of their curves or their outlines, toying with their spacing, as if these gargantuan paintings are tossed - off sketches for some much larger project.
Torsten Käll, what you are missing is that
the slope of the curve for sea level rise over the last century was concave, meaning sea level rise accelerated.
The top plots show
the slope of the curves corresponding to a given number of years backwards from the current year.
Jeff, Choice of aligning has no influence on
the slope of the curve, it simply changes the mean baseline for comparison.
I don't understand how aligning could change
the slope of a curve.
I believe I noted long ago that the papers Lomborg used to claim that «cold kills more than heat» or whatever it was he was saying, actually showed the opposite when you took
the slope of the curve into account.
