Sampling design proportional to order statistic of auxiliary variable

The sampling designs dependent on sample moments of auxiliary variables are well known. Lahiri (Bull Int Stat Inst 33:133–140, 1951) considered a sampling design proportionate to a sample mean of an auxiliary variable. Sing and Srivastava (Biometrika 67(1):205–209, 1980) proposed the sampling design proportionate to a sample variance while Wywiał (J Indian Stat Assoc 37:73–87, 1999) a sampling design proportionate to a sample generalized variance of auxiliary variables. Some other sampling designs dependent on moments of an auxiliary variable were considered e.g. in Wywiał (Some contributions to multivariate methods in, survey sampling. Katowice University of Economics, Katowice, 2003a); Stat Transit 4(5):779–798, 2000) where accuracy of some sampling strategies were compared, too.These sampling designs cannot be useful in the case when there are some censored observations of the auxiliary variable. Moreover, they can be much too sensitive to outliers observations. In these cases the sampling design proportionate to the order statistic of an auxiliary variable can be more useful. That is why such an unequal probability sampling design is proposed here. Its particular cases as well as its conditional version are considered, too. The sampling scheme implementing this sampling design is proposed. The inclusion probabilities of the first and second orders were evaluated. The well known Horvitz–Thompson estimator is taken into account. A ratio estimator dependent on an order statistic is constructed. It is similar to the well known ratio estimator based on the population and sample means. Moreover, it is an unbiased estimator of the population mean when the sample is drawn according to the proposed sampling design dependent on the appropriate order statistic.

Bayesian locally optimal design of knockout tournaments

The elimination or knockout format is one of the most common designs for pairing competitors in tournaments and leagues. In each round of a knockout tournament, the losers are eliminated while the winners advance to the next round. Typically, the goal of such a design is to identify the overall best player. Using a common probability model for expressing relative player strengths, we develop an adaptive approach to pairing players each round in which the probability that the best player advances to the next round is maximized. We evaluate our method using simulated game outcomes under several data-generating mechanisms, and compare it to random pairings, to the standard knockout format, and to two variants of the standard format.     

课程设计教学模式的研究

课程设计是本科实践教学环节的一个重要组成部分。课程设计传统教学模式及教学方式与当前建筑环境与设备工程专业本科培养计划总体方案和社会需求不相适应。以培养和提高学生的创新能力和综合解决问题能力为目的，分析专业课教学、挑战性的设计题目、指导教师的主导作用及评分机制等教学内容对课程设计的作用效果，构建将多种教学元素与课程设计交汇融合的创新课程设计模式。

生态女性主义文学批评述论

近年来,国内学界对生态女性主义理论及其与文学关系的探讨渐多,但是直接以“生态女性主义文学批评”为题的论文还较少。以文学为中心视角,在借鉴国内文学研究者的成果基础上,参考了国外学者的专著;既有对该理论的宏观梳理,又有对男女作家自然写作个案的分析,试图对这一新的文学批评做一个相对全面而深入的论述。论文涉及该文学批评的基本概念、形成条件、文本特点和批评特色等。作者认为,生态女性主义文学批评融合了女性主义批评与生态批评二者之长,在生态学术的热烈探讨中,将成为有前途的文学批评。     

绿色设计中的材料选择

绿色设计首先要选择绿色材料，使用环境友好性的材料，以减少产品对环境的危害；尽量减少材料的种类和数量，不仅可以节约能源，还可以减少废物的排放量；还要使材料具有循环性，以延长产品的寿命，减少废物，使人和自然和谐发展。     

当代景观设计的内涵及外延深化研究

景观设计是一门新兴学科,它是溶城市与生态环境规划、改造、保护和恢复的综合性系统工程。在我国的历史很短,但却发展迅速,为推动我国社会的文明化和现代化进程做出了贡献。但是,也凸现了一些内涵定位和外延的科学性与现实性问题,这些问题不仅关系到民族的审美意识和价值取向,也关系到国家基本建设资金使用的最优统筹化。
