从费孝通的双轨政治理论看我国社会管理的困境

费孝通的双轨政治理论认为：“一个健全的、能持久的政治必须是上通下达,来往自如的双轨形式。”结合费孝通的观点可以发现：由于缺乏对基层自治组织在民主政治与自我管理层面重要性的深入认识,导致我国社会组织极不发达,公民社会发育缓慢,从而加剧了政府的社会管理压力。要改善当前我国的社会管理困境,必须重视和发挥以基层自治组织为代表的社会组织的功能与作用,从中国的传统政治文化中吸取智慧,构建具有中国特色的公民社会,实现社会的良好管理与和谐发展。     

王国维“通人之学”与“专人之学”的尺短寸长

王国维“通人之学”“专人之学”等学术思想是中国学术研究转型的重大创新,通过对王国维学术成长的梳理、学术成果的分析、学术思想的论证,对“静安之学”进行了全面系统的研究。研究认为,王国维凭借厚实的知识贮备,批判地继承西方哲学理论与中国古代哲学思想,在构建中国大文科的学科体系、研究文史哲的学术体系和中国学者的学术话语体系方面做出了全面系统实践,取得重大进展和开创性成果,堪称开一代风气的大学者;王国维以创辟胜解、通方知类的学术思辨,创立二重证据方法,探索出一条由“通人之学”到“专人之学”学问研究蹊径。系统审读、反思静安之学,对我们严肃读书风气、匡正学问研究态度、提倡学术争鸣、甄别解决知识产权争端、清除学术造假现象、规范学术研究流程,能够起到见贤思齐、弃旧图新之作用。     

Consistency of information criteria for model selection with missing data

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we investigate the consistency of the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm-based information criteria for model selection with missing data. The criteria correspond to a penalization of the conditional expectation of the complete data log-likelihood given the observed data and with respect to the missing data conditional density. We present asymptotic properties related to maximum likelihood estimation in the presence of incomplete data and we provide sufficient conditions for the consistency of model selection by minimizing the information criteria. Their finite sample performance is illustrated through simulation and real data studies.     

Construction of some compound criteria via A-optimality

Abstract

This paper is devoted to attain multiple objects via proposing two compound optimality criteria constructed with A-optimality criterion. The offered compound criteria are ADP-optimality to seek about an optimal design for minimizing the average variance, having an efficient parameter estimates, likewise, maximizing the probability of a particular event and AKL-optimality that provides an identified balance between model discrimination and minimizing the average variance of the parameter estimates. The equivalence theorems are stated and proved. Finally, a numerical example is applied on probit GLMs to illustrate the results for both compound criteria.     

An algorithm for the minimum sum of weighted absolute errors regression

We propose an algorithm to estimate the unknown constants in a multiple linear regression model under the minimum sum of weighted absolute errors (MSWAE). The proposed algorithm, a generalization of an earlier algorithm, is compared to a bounded variable algorithm. Some somputational experience is reported.     

A Variable Selection Method for Analyzing Supersaturated Designs

Supersaturated designs are a large class of factorial designs which can be used for screening out the important factors from a large set of potentially active variables. The huge advantage of these designs is that they reduce the experimental cost drastically, but their critical disadvantage is the confounding involved in the statistical analysis. In this article, we propose a method for analyzing data using several types of supersaturated designs. Modifications of widely used information criteria are given and applied to the variable selection procedure for the identification of the active factors. The effectiveness of the proposed method is depicted via simulated experiments and comparisons.     

Exponentiated power Lindley power series class of distributions: Theory and applications

ABSTRACT

We introduce a new four-parameter generalization of the exponentiated power Lindley (EPL) distribution, called the exponentiated power Lindley power series (EPLPS) distribution. The new distribution arises on a latent complementary risks scenario, in which the lifetime associated with a particular risk is not observable; rather, we observe only the minimum lifetime value among all risks. The distribution exhibits a variety of bathtub-shaped hazard rate functions. It contains as particular cases several lifetime distributions. Various properties of the distribution are investigated including closed-form expressions for the density function, cumulative distribution function, survival function, hazard rate function, the rth raw moment, and also the moments of order statistics. Expressions for the Rényi and Shannon entropies are also given. Moreover, we discuss maximum likelihood estimation and provide formulas for the elements of the Fisher information matrix. Finally, two data applications are given showing flexibility and potentiality of the EPLPS distribution.     

双重规训：平台可见性与读者赋权——网络文学平台签约作者的数字劳动研究

以J网络文学平台为研究对象,采用参与式观察与半结构化访谈的研究方法,基于马克思劳动过程理论分析范式,揭示出网络文学平台签约作者的数据劳动实践。研究发现,平台作为技术中介与制度中介,塑造了网络文学领域参与者的表现,策划了签约作者创作作品的可见性,这种可见性由可计量的数据指标构成,对劳动主体进行着隐蔽规制。此外,读者在消费赋权下拥有了参与文化产品生产的主动权,形塑了作者的劳动策略,需要作者投入感情以维系与读者的亲密关系。因此,签约作者在劳动实践的过程中看似具有高度自主性,实则受到了网络文学平台和读者的双重规训。     

卓越教师评价标准比较及启示

卓越教师评价标准的建立与实施对教师专业发展起着重要的引导作用。美国、英国、澳大利亚、中国香港等国家或地区的卓越教师评价体系,在教师的知识结构、能力结构、教学成果、社区服务等方面具有一些共同特征,同时在教师能力结构、价值导向等方面又有各自的侧重。卓越教师评价标准应进一步体现卓越教师的实践专长,突出卓越教师作为教学变革的领导者,强化其对卓越教师培养过程的助推功能。     

Extending dual multiple factor analysis to categorical tables

This paper describes a proposal for the extension of the dual multiple factor analysis (DMFA) method developed by Lê and Pagès 15 to the analysis of categorical tables in which the same set of variables is measured on different sets of individuals. The extension of DMFA is based on the transformation of categorical variables into properly weighted indicator variables, in a way analogous to that used in the multiple factor analysis of categorical variables. The DMFA of categorical variables enables visual comparison of the association structures between categories over the sample as a whole and in the various subsamples (sets of individuals). For each category, DMFA allows us to obtain its global (considering all the individuals) and partial (considering each set of individuals) coordinates in a factor space. This visual analysis allows us to compare the set of individuals to identify their similarities and differences. The suitability of the technique is illustrated through two applications: one using simulated data for two groups of individuals with very different association structures and the other using real data from a voting intention survey in which some respondents were interviewed by telephone and others face to face. The results indicate that the two data collection methods, while similar, are not entirely equivalent.
