Generalized additive models for location, scale and shape

Summary.  A general class of statistical models for a univariate response variable is presented which we call the generalized additive model for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS). The model assumes independent observations of the response variable y given the parameters, the explanatory variables and the values of the random effects. The distribution for the response variable in the GAMLSS can be selected from a very general family of distributions including highly skew or kurtotic continuous and discrete distributions. The systematic part of the model is expanded to allow modelling not only of the mean (or location) but also of the other parameters of the distribution of y , as parametric and/or additive nonparametric (smooth) functions of explanatory variables and/or random-effects terms. Maximum (penalized) likelihood estimation is used to fit the (non)parametric models. A Newton–Raphson or Fisher scoring algorithm is used to maximize the (penalized) likelihood. The additive terms in the model are fitted by using a backfitting algorithm. Censored data are easily incorporated into the framework. Five data sets from different fields of application are analysed to emphasize the generality of the GAMLSS class of models.     

从“生活空间”到“文学空间”——“空间理论”:作为文学批评方法

文学空间来源于生活空间,文学空间是生活空间的变型、转化和升华。生活空间要转化成文学空间必须经过作家的遴选、厘定和创造并且包蕴着作家的审美观、世界观和人文观。"空间理论"立足于从生活空间向文学空间的过渡,充分发掘作家的空间想象方式及其表现手段,探讨作家内心世界的外化规律和价值取舍。     

女性"隐形"地位的多元认知透视

在男性占主导地位的语言,诚如英汉语中"乞丐""医生"等职业术语和"chairman""hero"等官衔荣誉称呼之类的名词,一般性的人类泛指"a man","mankind"以及代词的非指示用法中,女性往往被置于"隐形"的地位。性别差异和性别歧视的现象已引起社会上各学科的普遍关注,然而,从认知角度对这一现象作出注解的文章寥寥。运用认知语言学中的原型和范畴理论、框架理论、心理空间和概念合成理论对此予以阐释,可为英汉语中这一现象的理论阐释提供全新的多元认知视角。     

HEAVY-TAILED-DISTRIBUTED THRESHOLD STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODELS IN FINANCIAL TIME SERIES

To capture mean and variance asymmetries and time‐varying volatility in financial time series, we generalize the threshold stochastic volatility (THSV) model and incorporate a heavy‐tailed error distribution. Unlike existing stochastic volatility models, this model simultaneously accounts for uncertainty in the unobserved threshold value and in the time‐delay parameter. Self‐exciting and exogenous threshold variables are considered to investigate the impact of a number of market news variables on volatility changes. Adopting a Bayesian approach, we use Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to estimate all unknown parameters and latent variables. A simulation experiment demonstrates good estimation performance for reasonable sample sizes. In a study of two international financial market indices, we consider two variants of the generalized THSV model, with US market news as the threshold variable. Finally, we compare models using Bayesian forecasting in a value‐at‐risk (VaR) study. The results show that our proposed model can generate more accurate VaR forecasts than can standard models.     

Horwitz's rule, transforming both sides and the design of experiments for mechanistic models

Summary. The paper develops methods for the design of experiments for mechanistic models when the response must be transformed to achieve symmetry and constant variance. The power transformation that is used is partially justified by a rule in analytical chemistry. Because of the nature of the relationship between the response and the mechanistic model, it is necessary to transform both sides of the model. Expressions are given for the parameter sensitivities in the transformed model and examples are given of optimum designs, not only for single-response models, but also for experiments in which multivariate responses are measured and for experiments in which the model is defined by a set of differential equations which cannot be solved analytically. The extension to designs for checking models is discussed.

战国末期的社会转型与儒家的理论变迁--荀子关于大一统王权政治的构想

荀子关于大一统王权政治的构想反映了儒家学说为适应战国末期的社会转型而发生的理论变迁。荀子提出了礼法互补、王霸并用的系统理论,为大一统王权政治提供了最佳的治国模式。关于大一统王权政治的制度建设,荀子论述了他的王政和王制的思想。荀子主张尊君,以树立和维护君主的权威,同时又主张以儒家的道统与民本思想为主,建立起对君主的权力与意志的制约机制。     

社会转型与先进文化

社会转型为先进化的产生提供了基础，先进化是社会转型成功的客观要求。社会转型决定先进化，先进化又反作用于社会转型。当前中国的快速转型为先进化发挥作用提供了历史舞台，先进化只能服务于建设有中国特色的社会主义的任务，它对当前中国的社会转型起推动作用。发展当代中国的先进化，关键是要从中国先进化的基本内容上搞清楚和把握好主流性、创新性、开放性、先导性、民族性这几个中国先进化建设的重要特点，从而更好地指导当代中国的先进化建设。
