Effect of cash flow and liquidity on financial stability of listed firms in Nigeria by Olusegun Agbesuyi, Abass Shiro

“…This paper then uses the panel least square technique to estimate the regression model which gives insights on what factors influence the DER of the sampled companies. The intercept was set a priori at a positive value for DER and similarly for OCFR and ICFR, which display inverse relationships. …”

INFLUENCE OF NON-LIFE INSURANCE SECTOR CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ON THE INCREASE OF TOTAL ASSETS IN NIGERIA'S INSURANCE MARKET (2000 TO 2022) by SOLOMON DAVID PERE, JOSIAH BOLOU-OWEI EDIKE

“…The hypothesis demonstrates that if each index for non-life insurance claims settlement is held constant, total insurance assets growth in Nigeria will increase by an intercept value of 0.0000246 basis points. Additionally, it is seen that non-life insurance claims settlement has a regression coefficient of 0.010995, which is a positive coefficient. …”

Fast binary logistic regression by Nurdan Ayse Saran, Fatih Nar

“…We put Lf-norm formulation in matrix-vector form, providing flexibility to include or exclude penalization of the intercept term when applying regularization. Furthermore, to address the common problem of collinear features, we apply singular value decomposition (SVD), resulting in a low-rank representation commonly used to reduce computational complexity while preserving essential features and mitigating noise. …”
