Opportunities of the minimum Anderson–Darling estimator as a variant of the maximum likelihood method

We reveal that the minimum Anderson–Darling (MAD) estimator is a variant of the maximum likelihood method. Furthermore, it is shown that the MAD estimator offers excellent opportunities for parameter estimation if there is no explicit formulation for the distribution model. The computation time for the MAD estimator with approximated cumulative distribution function is much shorter than that of the classical maximum likelihood method with approximated probability density function. Additionally, we research the performance of the MAD estimator for the generalized Pareto distribution and demonstrate a further advantage of the MAD estimator with an issue of seismic hazard analysis.

竹亚科植物过氧化物酶和酯酶同工酶研究

用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳方法分析竹亚科九属二十七种植物过氧化物酶和酯酶同工酶，结果表明：过氧化物酶同工酶谱在种间明显差异，各竹种有特征酶谱。其酶谱特征及酶谱距离可作为竹种分类特征之—，有助于竹种的分类，同时也可了解种间亲缘关系。而酯酶同工酶谱在种间差异小，不宜作竹种的分类特征，但也能反映出种间的亲缘关系。     

Small area estimation for longitudinal surveys

Over the last few years many studies have been carried out in Italy to identify reliable small area labour force indicators. Considering the rotated sample design of the Italian Labour Force Survey, the aim of this work is to derive a small area estimator which borrows strength from individual temporal correlation, as well as from related areas. Two small area estimators are derived as extensions of an estimation strategies proposed by Fuller (1990) for partial overlap samples. A simulation study is carried out to evaluate the gain in efficiency provided by our solutions. Results obtained for different levels of autocorrelation between repeated measurements on the same outcome and different population settings show that these estimators are always more reliable than the traditional composite one, and in some circumstances they are extremely advantageous.The present paper is financially supported by Murst-Cofin (2001) Lutilizzo di informazioni di tipo amministrativo nella stima per piccole aree e per sottoinsiemi della popolazione (National Coordinator Prof. Carlo Filippucci).

中国影子银行违约风险和防范机制研究——来自上市公司委托贷款数据的经验证据

本文运用中国上市公司披露的委托贷款公告数据，实证研究了影子银行的违约风险及其防范机制。数据显示，我国委托贷款的整体违约率为10.09%，远高于同期银行业金融机构的不良贷款率。进一步研究发现，与影子银行风险受信息因素影响的直觉一致，抵押条款和借贷距离会显著影响委托贷款违约率：其一，从抵押视角来看，抵押条款和贷款违约率显著正相关，这表明，为了防范事后的道德风险问题，贷款者会要求借款者提供抵押；其二，从借贷距离视角看，与近距离借贷（或同省借贷）相比，远距离借贷（或异省借贷）的违约风险相对较高，这揭示出，借贷距离越远，贷款者越难对借款者进行甄别和监督，从而推高了借款企业的违约概率。本文研究不仅为我国委托贷款这一影子银行机制的风险状况提供了直接的经验证据，而且对影子银行参与者如何有效防范风险和相关政府部门加强监管具有重要的借鉴意义。     

ROBUSTNESS OF PROCEDURES FOR THE BEHRENS-FISHER PROBLEMS: EXTENSION TO BIVARIATE NORMAL MIXTURES

In the applied sciences, it is often important to be able to compare the mean values of two populations. However, testing a hypothesis can be complex, if the two populations are heteroscedastic and exhibit non-normality in the data. This paper reviews currently available strategies for the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem. It then carries out Monte Carlo comparisons of selected procedures to assess their robustness when applied to data from normal mixture distributions. The overall conclusion is that Johansen's procedure appears to work best for small sample data both in terms of empirical power and significance level. Johansen's procedure works reasonably well even with mixture data. The simulation also provides researchers with specific guidelines to follow at the early designing and planning stages of the investigation.

Connectivity in urbanizing landscapes: The importance of habitat configuration,urban area size,and dispersal

Human activities affect both the amount and configuration of habitat. These changes have important ecological implications that can be measured as changes in landscape connectivity. I investigated how urbanization interacts with the initial amount and aggregation of habitat to change dispersal potential, restoration potential, and the risk of spatially extensive disturbances. I used a factorial set of simulated landscapes and subjected each landscape to habitat loss by overlaying 66 different US urban areas. I used a common connectivity metric, CONNECT, to assess the magnitude and direction of changes for a range of dispersal distances. My results show that the relationship between habitat loss and connectivity loss is non-linear and subject to interactions between the spatial patterns of habitat distribution, urban morphology, and dispersal capabilities. The implications of a given urban form vary widely as a function of habitat distribution and dispersal capabilities. This implies that impact assessments, restoration activities, and conservation planning should consider historical habitat distribution when evaluating observed changes in connectivity. While my results clearly show that more aggregated or continuous habitats are more vulnerable to connectivity loss, this approach can also be used to identify landscapes where restoring connectivity will be particularly effective, for example through placement of stepping stone habitats.
