A simple procedure for the selection of significant effects

Summary.  Given a large number of test statistics, a small proportion of which represent departures from the relevant null hypothesis, a simple rule is given for choosing those statistics that are indicative of departure. It is based on fitting by moments a mixture model to the set of test statistics and then deriving an estimated likelihood ratio. Simulation suggests that the procedure has good properties when the departure from an overall null hypothesis is not too small.     

Testing symmetry under a skew Laplace model

We develop tests of hypothesis about symmetry based on samples from possibly asymmetric Laplace distributions and present exact and limiting distribution of the test statistics. We postulate that the test statistic derived under the Laplace model is a rational choice as a measure of skewness and can be used in testing symmetry for other, quite general classes of skew distributions. Our results are applied to foreign exchange rates for 15 currencies.     

Statistical Analyses and Modelling of the Mixing Process of Euro Coins in Germany and Europe

This paper reports on the mixing of Euro coins from different countries of origin in Europe, which started on 1 January 2002. There is an interesting conclusion: that the mobility of small and large denominations is different. The long‐term behaviour of the mixing process is studied using a simple deterministic model and data from Germany, France and the Netherlands. The analysis leads to predictions about the future progress of the mixing process.     

中国就业市场中的性别歧视——对公众认知率的研究

调查结果表明:女性更关注工作过程中的性别歧视和职业隔离的性别歧视现象,女性仅对应聘过程中的性别歧视现象如女性的相貌、身高等要求、外来打工妹的应聘两个问题的认知率高于男性;女性对性骚扰性别歧视认知率与男性没有显著差异;公众对各种性别歧视现象的总体认知水平不高.     

知识的价值决定——一种基于理论的探讨

劳动价值理论是经济学的基本理论。经济学价值论的使命是说明商品交换价值的决定和运动规律。新经济时代正在到来,人类生产方式也正在发生广泛而深刻的变化,价值决定理论也将随着现实经济的发展而发展。在知识经济时代,商品同样有一个客观的交换基础——劳动时间,但所有商品的价值已不完全由社会必要劳动时间确定,特别是知识产品的价值量是由个别劳动时间确定的。     

关于人民币汇率问题的几点思考

人民币汇率不存在被严重低估的问题 ,升值没有客观必然性。目前人民币升值面临巨大压力 ,其主要原因在于我国不合理的外部均衡结构。人民币在未来也不会很快呈现出不断升值的变化趋势 ,中长期内的汇率变动趋势尚有待于观察 ,贬值压力同样不可低估。维持人民币汇率较长时期的稳定 ,延缓升值进程的发生 ,具有非常重要的战略意义     

The analysis of incomplete data using stochastic covariates

In the development of many diseases there are often associated random variables which continuously reflect the progress of a subject towards the final expression of the disease (failure). At any given time these processes, which we call stochastic covariates, may provide information about the current hazard and the remaining time to failure. Likewise, in situations when the specific times of key prior events are not known, such as the time of onset of an occult tumour or the time of infection with HIV-1, it may be possible to identify a stochastic covariate which reveals, indirectly, when the event of interest occurred. The analysis of carcinogenicity trials which involve occult tumours is usually based on the time of death or sacrifice and an indicator of tumour presence for each animal in the experiment. However, the size of an occult tumour observed at the endpoint represents data concerning tumour development which may convey additional information concerning both the tumour incidence rate and the rate of death to which tumour-bearing animals are subject. We develop a stochastic model for tumour growth and suggest different ways in which the effect of this growth on the hazard of failure might be modelled. Using a combined model for tumour growth and additive competing risks of death, we show that if this tumour size information is used, assumptions concerning tumour lethality, the context of observation or multiple sacrifice times are no longer necessary in order to estimate the tumour incidence rate. Parametric estimation based on the method of maximum likelihood is outlined and is applied to simulated data from the combined model. The results of this limited study confirm that use of the stochastic covariate tumour size results in more precise estimation of the incidence rate for occult tumours.     

隆线溞(Daphnia carinata king)的呼吸代谢测定

本文用Winkler法测定隆线溞(Caphnia carinata king)不同龄期个体的耗氧量及二幼龄个体在不同温度下的耗氧量。测得幼龄与成龄两阶段,其耗氧量分别以4.88×10~(-2)与1.695×10~(-1)的速率随体重增加而增大,耗氧率则分别随体重的增加而逐渐降低;在常温下,隆线溞耗氧量Y与温度X呈Y=3.69×10~(-3)×1.07~x的指数函数关系,由此得到,17℃—19℃是隆线搔生长速率快而耗氧量较小的最适人工培养温度。     

金融自由化浪潮下我国金融业发展对策

20世纪70年代以来,国际金融自由化的进程明显加快,金融工具不断创新,金融信息化蓬勃发展.利率市场化、放松金融管制、开放国内资本市场、加强对全球金融的统一监管成为大势所趋.文章通过国际金融自由化进程中一些规律性经验的总结及我国金融改革历程的回顾,对我国金融市场在利率、外汇及证券等业务的开放提出了建议.     

近代留美学生与中美教育交流研究

近代留美学生既是中美教育交流的产物,也是学习与回报美国教育、有组织交流的主要动力与媒介。他们推动的交流在实践中虽有种种局限,但在双向、平等、立体的进行中仍不失灵活、深刻而日趋完整。
