Empirical likelihood confidence intervals for the mean of a population containing many zero values

If a population contains many zero values and the sample size is not very large, the traditional normal approximation‐based confidence intervals for the population mean may have poor coverage probabilities. This problem is substantially reduced by constructing parametric likelihood ratio intervals when an appropriate mixture model can be found. In the context of survey sampling, however, there is a general preference for making minimal assumptions about the population under study. The authors have therefore investigated the coverage properties of nonparametric empirical likelihood confidence intervals for the population mean. They show that under a variety of hypothetical populations, these intervals often outperformed parametric likelihood intervals by having more balanced coverage rates and larger lower bounds. The authors illustrate their methodology using data from the Canadian Labour Force Survey for the year 2000.     

双波长比值法测定氯硝基苯异构体的含量

依据邻、间、对氯硝基苯三组分的比值光谱特征，以间氟硝基苯为参比组分，选择219nm、232nm和244nm、297nm作为邻氯硝基苯和对氯硝基苯的测定波长；以对氯硝基苯为参比组分．选择253nm、325nm作为间氟硝基苯的测定波长．测定邻、间、对氯硝基苯混合样品中三组分含量，结果显示。邻氯硝基苯在（3．73～74．34）mg／L，间氯硝基苯在（1．58～105．1）mg／L，对氯硝基苯在（0．36-107．1）mg／L范围具有良好的线性关系．回收率均在95．0％～110．0％之间．本法具有测定波长少、计算简单、光谱“分离”能力强。易于推广等特点．     

Adaptive tests of regression functions via multiscale generalized likelihood ratios

Many applications of nonparametric tests based on curve estimation involve selecting a smoothing parameter. The author proposes an adaptive test that combines several generalized likelihood ratio tests in order to get power performance nearly equal to whichever of the component tests is best. She derives the asymptotic joint distribution of the component tests and that of the proposed test under the null hypothesis. She also develops a simple method of selecting the smoothing parameters for the proposed test and presents two approximate methods for obtaining its P‐value. Finally, she evaluates the proposed test through simulations and illustrates its application to a set of real data.     

Interpreting DNA Mixtures with Related Contributors in Subdivided Populations

Abstract.  In this paper, we study the statistical interpretation of forensic DNA mixtures with related contributors in subdivided populations. Compact general formulae for match probabilities are obtained for two situations: a relative of one tested person is an unknown contributor of a DNA mixture; and two related unknowns are contributors. The effect of kinship and population structure is illustrated using a real case example.     

国外生态税收实践及对中国的启示

国外通过开征二氧化碳税、二氧化硫税、资源开发税、噪音税、拥挤税以及环境关税等加强生态环境保护,但中国目前尚未建立以保护生态环境为目的生态税收体系,存在着主体税种缺位、相关税种环保因素考虑不够、生态税收优惠形式单一等问题。建议根据可持续发展理论,借鉴国外经验,通过开征专门的环境保护税、改革相关税种、完善税收优惠等措施,构建以生态税收为主要内容的税制新体系。     

婚龄性别比失衡对社会运行和发展的影响——来自吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州农村地区的调查分析

婚龄性别比失衡问题到底有什么样的社会影响?这些社会影响的性质、影响范围以及具体表现又是怎样?为了回答这些问题,我们对延边地区进行了实地调查和深度访谈,发现该地区的婚龄男女性别比失衡相当明显。在这些地区,由于婚龄女性人口的大量向城市(国外)流动,当地的很多成年男性到了婚龄,都面临着无妻可娶的窘境。由此,对社会造成了一些负面的影响,社会运行和发展出现了一定程度上的离轨。

性别偏好与政策博弈:广东省出生人口性别比时空变迁分析

广东省出生人口性别比失调现象存在着明显的规律,从时间与空间演变过程分析,认为影响广东省人口性别比的主要原因是生育文化与民众对人口政策的博弈.文章最后提出,在传统生育文化的影响下,出生人口性别比失衡与控制人口是一个两难的选择.
