论作为武侠小说叙事元素的历史

历史作为武侠小说中的一种元素,从武侠小说的发展历程来看,并不是它必须具备的.历史元素在武侠小说中往往以历史细节的形式存在,而这个细节的真伪是无关紧要的.但历史在武侠小说中的另一种存在形式,即历史观,却具有非常重要的地位,它与文学的存在价值有关.     

中国审美设计的意匠法式研究

官作器物、文人器物、民具三者的工匠技艺、结构形式、审美标准等并无“等价关系”。三者时常分离时常交和,显示出中国传统造物一脉相承的主线。通过廓清三者关系、梳理其延承脉络,提出中国审美“意匠法式”六则,以揭示中国传统造物设计的文化意义。     

文史研究方法的若干思考

随着人类对本体论的认识愈益深入,作为求知可靠基础的理性已受到严重的质疑。而以归纳推理为核心的中国文史研究的传统范式,该如何克服固有的缺陷和寻求新的拓展,以及怎样避免滑入不易觉察的陷阱,就成为一个值得费心思量的问题。

Designing and integrating composite networks for monitoring multivariate gaussian pollution fields

Networks of ambient monitoring stations are used to monitor environmental pollution fields such as those for acid rain and air pollution. Such stations provide regular measurements of pollutant concentrations. The networks are established for a variety of purposes at various times so often several stations measuring different subsets of pollutant concentrations can be found in compact geographical regions. The problem of statistically combining these disparate information sources into a single 'network' then arises. Capitalizing on the efficiencies so achieved can then lead to the secondary problem of extending this network. The subject of this paper is a set of 31 air pollution monitoring stations in southern Ontario. Each of these regularly measures a particular subset of ionic sulphate, sulphite, nitrite and ozone. However, this subset varies from station to station. For example only two stations measure all four. Some measure just one. We describe a Bayesian framework for integrating the measurements of these stations to yield a spatial predictive distribution for unmonitored sites and unmeasured concentrations at existing stations. Furthermore we show how this network can be extended by using an entropy maximization criterion. The methods assume that the multivariate response field being measured has a joint Gaussian distribution conditional on its mean and covariance function. A conjugate prior is used for these parameters, some of its hyperparameters being fitted empirically.     

Conditional design of the EWMA median chart with estimated parameters

The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart is often designed assuming the process parameters are known. In practice, the parameters are rarely known and need to be estimated from Phase I samples. Different Phase I samples are used when practitioners construct their own control chart's limits, which leads to the “Phase I between-practitioners” variability in the in-control average run length (ARL) of control charts. The standard deviation of the ARL (SDARL) is a good alternative to quantify this variability in control charts. Based on the SDARL metric, the performance of the EWMA median chart with estimated parameters is investigated in this paper. Some recommendations are given based on the SDARL metric. The results show that the EWMA median chart requires a much larger amount of Phase I data in order to reduce the variation in the in-control ARL up to a reasonable level. Due to the limitation of the amount of the Phase I data, the suggested EWMA median chart is designed with the bootstrap method which provides a good balance between the in-control and out-of-control ARL values.     

On approximations via convolution-defined mixture models

An often-cited fact regarding mixing or mixture distributions is that their density functions are able to approximate the density function of any unknown distribution to arbitrary degrees of accuracy, provided that the mixing or mixture distribution is sufficiently complex. This fact is often not made concrete. We investigate and review theorems that provide approximation bounds for mixing distributions. Connections between the approximation bounds of mixing distributions and estimation bounds for the maximum likelihood estimator of finite mixtures of location-scale distributions are reviewed.
