SHOULD WE ESTIMATE THE PROBABILITY OF CORRECT SELECTION?

Various authors, given k location parameters, have considered lower confidence bounds on (standardized) dserences between the largest and each of the other k - 1 parameters. They have then used these bounds to put lower confidence bounds on the probability of correct selection (PCS) in the same experiment (as was used for finding the lower bounds on differences). It is pointed out that this is an inappropriate inference procedure. Moreover, if the PCS refers to some later experiment it is shown that if a non-trivial confidence bound is possible then it is already possible to conclude, with greater confidence, that correct selection has occurred in the first experiment. The short answer to the question in the title is therefore ‘No’, but this should be qualified in the case of a Bayesian analysis.

An alternative to model selection in ordinary regression

The weaknesses of established model selection procedures based on hypothesis testing and similar criteria are discussed and an alternative based on synthetic (composite) estimation is proposed. It is developed for the problem of prediction in ordinary regression and its properties are explored by simulations for the simple regression. Extensions to a general setting are described and an example with multiple regression is analysed. Arguments are presented against using a selected model for any inferences.     

Markov Properties for Acyclic Directed Mixed Graphs

We consider acyclic directed mixed graphs, in which directed edges ( x → y ) and bi-directed edges ( x ↔ y ) may occur. A simple extension of Pearl's d -separation criterion, called m -separation, is applied to these graphs. We introduce a local Markov property which is equivalent to the global property resulting from the m -separation criterion for arbitrary distributions.     

Improved model selection criteria for SETAR time series models

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we obtain the asymptotic properties of the modified model selection criteria proposed by Hurvich et al. (1990. Improved estimators of Kullback-Leibler information for autoregressive model selection in small samples. Biometrika 77, 709–719) for autoregressive models. Second, we provide some highlights on the better performance of this modified criteria. Third, we extend the modification introduced by these authors to model selection criteria commonly used in the class of self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) time series models. We show the improvements of the modified criteria in their finite sample performance. In particular, for small and medium sample size the frequency of selecting the true model improves for the consistent criteria and the root mean square error (RMSE) of prediction improves for the efficient criteria. These results are illustrated via simulation with SETAR models in which we assume that the threshold and the parameters are unknown.

基于TOPSIS理论的企业供应商选择应用

供应链管理已经成为企业获取竞争优势的手段,供应商选择是企业构建供应链体系的重要内容。TOPSIS是一种简单易行的多因素选优的理论方法,它利用熵来确定评价指标的权重,避免了在确定评价指标权重时主观因素的影响,为公司的供应商选择提供了一种科学、量化、高效的手段。文章回顾了供应商选择的理论现状,介绍了TOPSIS理论模型和利用它进行供应商选择的步骤,通过对典型企业的深入调研,阐述了该企业如何应用TOPSIS进行供应商选择。     

利用光敏核不育性进行水稻轮回选择的程序探讨

本文对利用光敏核不育性进行水稻轮回选择进行了探讨。提出基本轮回选择方案和综合轮回选择方案。基本轮回选择方案是以一个光敏核不育材料为母本与多个亲本组配构成轮回选择的综合群体,而其后按常规轮回选择法进行育种的方案。综合轮回选择方案是以两个或两个以上的光敏核不育材料作为母体与多个亲本组配,在 F_2代群体中不同质源的优良植株相互交配构成综合群体,其后按基本方案进行的轮回选择。     

网络文学的当下可能性

本文根据当前对网络文学的定义 ,从三个方面分析说明了网络文学出现的当下可能性。一是网络媒介的出现引起文学载体和传播方式的变化 ,形成了自己的文学群落 ,培养了一大批文学爱好者的文学受众。二是作为写作的网络文学 ,实际上是对当前出现的知识霸权和文学生产麦当劳化的反拨 ,使文学向着自由无功利和审美愉悦性传统回归。三是网络文学作为一种题材 ,与传统文学无本质上的区别 ,是网络出现后形成的一种特定群体生活状态的反映 ,从而在题材选取 ,主题表现及表现技巧上具有其独特性。     

经济转轨期农村经营模式:路径、绩效与创新

目前,我国农村实行的是以家庭承包经营为基础的双层经营体制。这种体制的弊端在于土地难以流转、经营规模太小、市场联系面窄、抵抗风险能力弱、农业资本投资不足、土地使用效率低等。要进一步发展农村经济,就必须创新经营模式,下一步应该把突破口放在以产权清晰为基础的统一经营上,建立农村家庭、涉农企业、集体和政府利益协同的产业链,把重点放在农产品的加工和流通环节,以企业为龙头,建立大市场大流通,实现规模经济效应。
