Central Limit Theorem approximations for the number of runs in Markov-dependent binary sequences

We consider Markov-dependent binary sequences and study various types of success runs (overlapping, non-overlapping, exact, etc.) by examining additive functionals based on state visits and transitions in an appropriate Markov chain. We establish a multivariate Central Limit Theorem for the number of these types of runs and obtain its covariance matrix by means of the recurrent potential matrix of the Markov chain. Explicit expressions for the covariance matrix are given in the Bernoulli and a simple Markov-dependent case by expressing the recurrent potential matrix in terms of the stationary distribution and the mean transition times in the chain. We also obtain a multivariate Central Limit Theorem for the joint number of non-overlapping runs of various sizes and give its covariance matrix in explicit form for Markov dependent trials.     

Children Born of Wartime Rape: Rights and Representations

The ongoing conflict in Darfur has once again served to highlight the threat of sexual violence that women face during times of war. Yet, although sexual violence in wartime has existed probably for as long as war itself, it is only in more recent times that its recognition as a crime under international humanitarian law has taken place. Moreover, although it is recognized that women may conceive as a result of such wartime rape, largely missing from the international rights framework, and from the discourse that surrounds it, is a consideration of the children – or ‘war babies’ – who are born as a result. This article places the focus upon ‘war babies’ by considering the reasons for their current marginalization as a category in international discourse. In addition to examining such marginalization within existing theoretical analyses, this article also analyses the potential for their incorporation within the wider rights framework: first, in terms of international legal practice and; second, in terms of the actions of civil society. The final section concludes.

中原经济区视野下河南农村区域文化特征探析

在强有力的政策支撑下,中原经济区视域下的河南文化获得了迅速发展,并表现出了独有的地域特征:农民素质逐步提高,但整体水平偏低;主流意识健康,但封建沉渣尚存;小农意识逐步改观,但市场意识仍需强化;文化性格厚重有余,但冒险精神不足。在文化对经济起巨大推动作用的今天,对农村文化进行必要的扬弃,已成为建设中原经济区必不可缺的重要一环。     

中日、日俄战争时期美国对朝鲜政策的变化及其实质

中日战争和日俄战争时期,美国对朝鲜的政策由"不干涉"政策转为"放弃"政策,即把朝鲜推给日本,使其任意践踏朝鲜的主权。其实质是一方面支持日本去对抗俄国,以防止其独占中国东北;另一方面让日本满足于独占朝鲜,以便保住美国自己在西南太平洋地区的既得利益,同时扩大自己在中国的利益。     

On the asymptotic power and relative efficiency of the frequency X2 test

The asymptotic (Pitman) power of the X² test is investigated for particular classes of alternatives. A simple rule is introduced to identify ‘orthogonal alternatives’, for which the noncentrality parameter can be computed in a very simple way. In the sequel, restricted alternatives are considered and the ARE of the unrestricted test w.r.t. the restricted one is shown to depend only on the numbers of degrees of freedom. The concluding section discusses ‘undetectable alternatives’, i.e. alternatives for which the noncentrality vanishes.     

论“后冷战”时代经济全球化的异化与中国的对策

经济全球化是商品经济规律发展的结果."后冷战"时代国际政治经济格局重新构建的核心问题是"单极化"与"多极化"之争.在"后冷战"的特定历史条件下,经济全球化已从多个方面异化成为了美国化.此种国际政治经济现实,决定了中国应该采取"把握大势,找准位置";"立足周边,广交朋友";"韬光养晦,潜心发展"的应对策略.     

浅析孙子军事思想的人本观

《孙子》是我国古代的兵学圣典,它揭示了诸多战争的客观规律,不仅具有深邃的军事思想,而且还阐发出丰富的人文思想。通过对孙子就战争冲突中人的生命、战争环境中人的地位、战略原则中人的价值以及战争进程中人的作用等问题的深刻认识之探讨,可以揭示出孙子以人为本的军事思想。     

伊战对阿以和平进程的影响

美国发动的对伊战争将使阿伯世界进一步分裂与重组。战后,美国虽主导了“中东和平路线图”计划,但美并未改变其袒以压巴政策,以也未改变其对巴的强硬政策,因此,和平路线图计划将面临重重困难,中东地区很可能继续处于动荡之中,中东和平仍将路漫漫。
