✦ Synopsis

This study examined the predictive value of the triad (enuresis, fiesetting, cruelty to animals) in 4 group of incarcerated sex oflenders. The most salient positive finding in this investigation was the association between one or more components of the triud and a highly abusive home environment. There was no compelling evidence to sypori the prognostic value of the triud of behaviors for predicting adult criminal outcome. The triad appeared to be primarily a maladaptive response to the turmoil and abuse in the home prior to and during adolescence. Finally, it is noteworthy that this study revealed a much lower frequency of triad behaviors than has been reported in the literature.

Predictions of future sexual oending have been mandated by various ``Sexual Predator'' commitment laws, despite historical arguments that clinicians are frequently inaccurate and over-predict violence. The basis for those arguments has been the perspective that sexual recidivism is a relatively rare

## Abstract The empirical behaviour of two Hermitian densitiesβ€”the Edgeworth asymptotic expansion, and the Gallant and Nychka (1987) squared transformationβ€”are assessed and compared to Hansen's (1994) asymmetric Student __t__. The comparison focuses on VaR measurements and overall probability fits.
