Estimation and Inference Procedures for Semiparametric Distribution Models with Varying Linear‐Index

More flexible semiparametric linear‐index regression models are proposed to describe the conditional distribution. Such a model formulation captures varying effects of covariates over the support of a response variable in distribution, offers an alternative perspective on dimension reduction and covers a lot of widely used parametric and semiparameteric regression models. A feasible pseudo likelihood approach, accompanied with a simple and easily implemented algorithm, is further developed for the mixed case with both varying and invariant coefficients. By justifying some theoretical properties on Banach spaces, the uniform consistency and asymptotic Gaussian process of the proposed estimator are also established in this article. In addition, under the monotonicity of distribution in linear‐index, we develop an alternative approach based on maximizing a varying accuracy measure. By virtue of the asymptotic recursion relation for the estimators, some of the achievements in this direction include showing the convergence of the iterative computation procedure and establishing the large sample properties of the resulting estimator. It is noticeable that our theoretical framework is very helpful in constructing confidence bands for the parameters of interest and tests for the hypotheses of various qualitative structures in distribution. Generally, the developed estimation and inference procedures perform quite satisfactorily in the conducted simulations and are demonstrated to be useful in reanalysing data from the Boston house price study and the World Values Survey.     

Parameter estimation of the censored δ-shock model on uniform interval

The censored δ-shock model is a special kind of shock model and it has very important research values in the reliability theory. In this paper, we discuss the parameter estimation of the censored δ-shock model when the inter-arrival times between two successive shocks follows uniform distribution on [a, b]. With the maximum likelihood estimation, we obtain the parameter estimator and expectation of estimator and lifetime of the model. By numerical simulation, we get the empirical result on the estimator of δ and the relationship between δ and other parameters.     

Single-stage sampling procedure of the t best populations under heteroscedasticity

Given k( ? 3) independent normal populations with unknown means and unknown and unequal variances, a single-stage sampling procedure to select the best t out of k populations is proposed and the procedure is completely independent of the unknown means and the unknown variances. For various combinations of k and probability requirement, tables of procedure parameters are provided for practitioners.     

The classing gaze and its gendering effects: (dis)‐respectability,emotional (in)‐competency,and the counselling experiences of domestically violent Taiwanese men

Research on domestically violent men typically takes an oppositional logic of gender. While the significance of class in researching domestically violent men is identified, class and gender are often treated as separate entities that do not complicate each other. Drawing upon group observations and in‐depth interviews, this paper identifies how intersections of class and gender manifest in the counselling experiences of domestically violent Taiwanese men. From a Bourdieusian feminist analysis, the authors analyse (1) how class distinctions serve to (re)produce gendered hierarchy; (2) how contradictory experiences of gender reveal a relational understanding of class; and (3) how the gendered nature of domestically violent men is inscribed with a meaning of (working) class specificity for maintaining middle‐class ‘purity’. In analysing men's multiple and conflicting experiences, this paper contributes to research on domestically violent men by showing how class and gender are actively constructed and not produced in a monolithic/invariant way.

制度建构的理性构成及其困境

现代社会的制度建构实际上在某种程度上体现了人们的理性设计和价值选择,是由工具理性和价值理性共同构成的,具有双重的价值取向.也正是由于工具理性和价值理性之间相互伴生又彼此对立的关系,给制度建构带来了诸多矛盾和困境.对此,必须加以密切关注,以共同维护现代社会的同一性与和谐发展.     

国外“房价收入比”研究：起源、测量与应用

从起源、测量、应用等角度,系统梳理了国外房价收入比的研究文献。研究发现:房价收入比演化于、并优于住房支出收入;房价收入比测量的多样性取决于房价和收入测量方法的多样性,以及房价收入比均衡模型的不同;房价收入比主要应用于住房支付能力和房地产泡沫研究。房价收入比计算的规范化、均衡模型的集成化以及实证的多角化将成为进一步的研究方向。

数词非范畴化现象考察

通过句法分布、语义变化、语篇功能及范畴转移等方面考察,数词在非范畴化过程中主要有以下几种表现:句法分布特征的扩展;语义丧失、转指、抽象泛化;语义、语篇功能被强化.非范畴化的结果必然带来范畴转移,而以词汇化或语法化为手段在词汇层面所遗留的痕迹成了这种"转移"最有力的佐证.     

生态文学的发展生态论析

生态文学日益成为文学界关注的热点。立足于我国生态文学的发展性,关注生态文学的发展生态,以利于推动它的发展,成为当前切要的问题。我国的生态文学表现出"五个结合"的特征,在生态思想、创作领域和社会精神文化建设诸方面取得了具有开拓意义的成就,但还存在创作规模和质量不够、研究条件和批评理论系统化不足的问题,需要在优化外部环境和内部机制方面作好应对。
