ASSESSING CONGRUENCEAMONG DISTANCE MATRICES: SINGLE-MALT SCOTCH WHISKIES REVISITED

A test of congruence among distance matrices is described. It tests the hypothesis that several matrices, containing different types of variables about the same objects, are congruent with one another, so they can be used jointly in statistical analysis. Raw data tables are turned into similarity or distance matrices prior to testing; they can then be compared to data that naturally come in the form of distance matrices. The proposed test can be seen as a generalization of the Mantel test of matrix correspondence to any number of distance matrices. This paper shows that the new test has the correct rate of Type I error and good power. Power increases as the number of objects and the number of congruent data matrices increase; power is higher when the total number of matrices in the study is smaller. To illustrate the method, the proposed test is used to test the hypothesis that matrices representing different types of organoleptic variables (colour, nose, body, palate and finish) in single‐malt Scotch whiskies are congruent.     

影响我国产业内贸易发展的因素及其对策思考

二战后,产业内贸易发展迅速,发展中国家若要真正有效地参与国际经济大循环,加快本国经济发展,就必须加入到产业内贸易的大潮中去。我国产业内贸易应从发展现状入手,着重对影响我国产业内贸易发展的产业结构因素、产业组织结构因素和政策因素制定相关对策,以不断提高我国外贸竞争力。     

地力山土族生计方式与家庭经济结构

地力山是甘南藏族自治州卓尼县杓哇土族乡的一个纯土族自然村。由于特定的历史、自然和社会原因,形成了以农为主牧业为辅的传统生计方式。随着时代的变化,兼事务工成为了传统生计方式的补充。在地力山土族家庭经济过程中,生计方式支配着资源要素的投入方向,而资源要素在不同方向上的配置最终构成其家庭经济的各个形态,形态之间以及具体形态内部存在的动态性,为其进一步调整提供了内在条件。

从《北回归线》看亨利·米勒的文体风格

亨利·米勒是美国20世纪的文学奇才,他的怪异文体使他备受针砭。《北回归线》不仅是他作品思想深度的代表作,也是其怪异文化的范本。以此为视点,米勒的文体风格主要可概括为卑琐素材、污秽物象、纵情声色、梦呓意识、拼贴构造等几个方面。     

东北地区产业结构调整实证分析与对策研究

以1995～2004 年的统计数据为基础,对东北三省1995～2004年产业结构的变化情况进行了初步分析,主要从产值结构的比较、就业结构的比较以及黑龙江、吉林、辽宁三省产业结构的的技术经济分析等三大方面对东北三省的产业结构调整进行实证研究,从而对东北老工业基地经济的快速增长提供理论依据.     

试析国债二级市场的流动性建设问题

国债流通市场 ,又称二级市场 ,与国债一级市场互为依存。二级市场的流动性强弱在一定程度上制约着国债一级市场的增发空间。长期以来 ,我国国债二级市场的发展滞后于一级市场 ,市场分割的存在致使二级市场表现为流动性不足。本文对此问题进行了考察 ,并提出了相应的对策。     

K_2PdX_4:Cu~(2+)超超精细参量研究

利用离子簇模型,建立了四角伸长八面体中3d9体系超超精细参量的微扰公式;在理论上得到了轨道混合系数、未配对自旋密度、平均共价因子等参量的关系,并应用于K2PdX4(X=Cl,Br)中的四角[CuX4]2?中心,理论与实验比较符合。与文献[4]相比,该文在计算公式上有所简化,并且调节参量数目进一步地减少,因而具有较好的适用性。     

Household structure and consumption insurance of the elderly

This paper examines the role of household formation in providing consumption insurance to the elderly. Using data from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, raw tabulations of per adult equivalent consumption indicate that the elderly who live alone have higher levels of well-being relative to those who live with others. This is misleading, however, because the decision to live alone is clearly endogenous. The empirical estimation accounts for this endogeneity using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The results provide evidence that household formation plays a significant role in maintaining consumption levels. Without the opportunity to live with others, the welfare gap measured by the difference between per adult equivalent consumption levels of dependent and independent livers would be even larger. These findings suggest that co-residing with others effectively supplements social security, pensions, and private savings and helps the elderly to smooth consumption in old age.
