煤炭资源开采中的生态环境经济损失及补偿研究

通过对CVM研究结论的比较讨论,认为基于CVM测算出的煤炭资源开采中的生态环境经济损失值偏小.为了全面计算煤炭资源开采中的生态环境经济损失值,提出将CVM与直接市场法和间接市场法联合使用,并计算出2010年榆林市煤炭资源开采的生态环境经济损失为208.4亿～209.11亿元.在此基础上,又对煤炭资源开采中的生态环境损失补偿问题进行研究,提出由煤炭资源开采企业和煤炭资源受益者共同承担煤炭资源开采中生态环境损失补偿的责任,并对各自应该分担的补偿水平进行量化.     

Nonparametric Bayes factors based on empirical likelihood ratios

Bayes methodology provides posterior distribution functions based on parametric likelihoods adjusted for prior distributions. A distribution-free alternative to the parametric likelihood is use of empirical likelihood (EL) techniques, well known in the context of nonparametric testing of statistical hypotheses. Empirical likelihoods have been shown to exhibit many of the properties of conventional parametric likelihoods. In this paper, we propose and examine Bayes factors (BF) methods that are derived via the EL ratio approach. Following Kass and Wasserman (1995), we consider Bayes factors type decision rules in the context of standard statistical testing techniques. We show that the asymptotic properties of the proposed procedure are similar to the classical BF's asymptotic operating characteristics. Although we focus on hypothesis testing, the proposed approach also yields confidence interval estimators of unknown parameters. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to evaluate the theoretical results as well as to demonstrate the power of the proposed test.     

Iterative bias reduction: a comparative study

Multivariate nonparametric smoothers, such as kernel based smoothers and thin plate splines smoothers, are adversely impacted by the sparseness of data in high dimension, also known as the curse of dimensionality. Adaptive smoothers, that can exploit the underlying smoothness of the regression function, may partially mitigate this effect. This paper presents a comparative simulation study of a novel adaptive smoother (IBR) with competing multivariate smoothers available as package or function within the R language and environment for statistical computing. Comparison between the methods are made on simulated datasets of moderate size, from 50 to 200 observations, with two, five or 10 potential explanatory variables, and on a real dataset. The results show that the good asymptotic properties of IBR are complemented by a very good behavior on moderate sized datasets, results which are similar to those obtained with Duchon low rank splines.     

关于层次分析法的数值试验

通过对层次分析法进行数值模拟,证实了次序性程度不仅对评价结果存在着显著的影响,而且也与一致性指标存在着密切的关系,同时也证实了标度精度不足是导致多种标度并存的原因,并建议采用适当的标度精度,这一观点与Saaty是一致的。实验结果还清楚地表明,单纯使用一致性指标判定一个矩阵好坏是不够的,应该辅助以其它指标。     

基于改进D—S证据理论的TOPSIS模型在科技奖励评价中的应用

针对科技奖励评价的特点,根据改进D—S证据合成规则,将专家的评价指标值转化为指标的综合得分并形成决策矩阵;结合TOPSIS模型求解理想解和负理想解,计算距离和贴近度,对各评价项目进行综合排名。实证结果表明：该模型能够很好地解决科技奖励评价过程中的不确定性问题,为科技奖励综合评价提供了一种新的思路。     

基于灰色关联的西部煤炭产业集中度影响因素研究

在概述西部原煤产量及其矿井类型与数量变化趋势的基础上,利用2003-2010年相关时序数据测度了西部煤炭产业在这一时期的集中度。随后,运用灰色关联理论,分析了期初集中度、生产扩张能力、进入壁垒、市场容量等相关因素与西部煤炭产业集中度的灰色关联程度。研究表明:期初集中度与市场容量是影响西部煤炭产业集中度诸多因素中最为重要的两个因素。在进一步分析产生这一结果深层原因的基础上,提出了提高西部煤炭产业集中度的政策建议。     

中国粮食价格波动特征研究——基于X-12-ARIMA模型和ARCH类模型

以小麦和大豆为例,研究2002年1月至2012年6月中国粮食价格波动特征。首先利用X-12-ARIMA模型对价格序列进行季节调整,然后运用ARCH类模型对剥离季节因素的价格序列进行波动分析。结果发现:中国粮食价格季节性波动逐年减弱;粮食价格具有明显的波动集簇性,前期价格波动和外部冲击对后期价格的影响具有持续性;粮食市场不存在"高风险、高回报"特征;小麦价格波动的非对称性不显著,而大豆价格波动则呈现明显的非对称特征,且上期价格上涨信息引发的波动要大于下跌信息。     

Progressive type II censored order statistics from exponential distributions

In the model of progressive type II censoring, point and interval estimation as well as relations for single and product moments are considered. Based on two-parameter exponential distributions, maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs), uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators (UMVUEs) and best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) are derived for both location and scale parameters. Some properties of these estimators are shown. Moreover, results for single and product moments of progressive type II censored order statistics are presented to obtain recurrence relations from exponential and truncated exponential distributions. These relations may then be used to compute all the means, variances and covariances of progressive type II censored order statistics based on exponential distributions for arbitrary censoring schemes. The presented recurrence relations simplify those given by Aggarwala and Balakrishnan (1996)     

Random coefficients regression models. a review 1

A review is given of random regression coefficients models. The emphasis is put on the problem of estimating the mean regression coefficients and the covariance matrix of the coefficients. Prediction of the individual random coefficients is not discussed. The main purpose of the review is to point to the practical aspects of the models and the problem of statistical inference in finite samples. Some problems for future research are indicated.     

Charts for finding upper percentage points of Student's t in the range .01 to .00001

The Bonferroni t-statistic is a versatile tool in multiple comparisons problems. The need for "oddball percentage points" may lead to extensive tables or heavy computation. Charts of t_p as a function of log p enable near two-decimal accuracy for any percentage point between .01 and .00001
