On the analysis of multivariate repeated measures designs

The relationship between the mixed-model analysis and multivariate approach to a repeated measures design with multiple responses is presented. It is shown that by taking the trace of the appropriate submatrix of the hypothesis (error) sums of squares and crossproducts (SSCP) matrix obtained from the multivariate approach, one can get the hypothesis (error) SSCP matrix for the mixed-model analysis. Thus, when analyzing data from a multivariate repeated measures design, it is advantageous to use the multivariate approach because the result of the mixed-model analysis can also be obtained without additional computation.     

On some tests for independence in nonnormal situations: neyman'S C(A)test

A study is made of Neyman's C(a) test for testing independence in nonnormal situations. It is shown that it performs very well both in terms of the level of significance and the powereven for smallvalues of the samplesize. Also, in the case of the bivariate Polsson distribution, itis shown that Fisher's z and Student's t transforms of the sample correlation coefficient are good competitors for Neyman's procedure.

     

On the sample breakdown robustness of some nonparametric tests

In this paper, relying on the sample breakdown points, we investigate the sample breakdown properties of some nonparametric tests. It is shown that the sample breakdown points of the sign test asymptotically dominate those of the Wilcoxon test for one–sided hypotheses, However, the different conclusion is derived in the case of testing some shrinking neighborhood hypotheses. The breakdown behaviors of the Kolmogorov test and X²–test are also explored. These studies unify or refine some existing breakdown analyses of tests.     

Generalized polya eggenberger family of distributions and its relation to lagrangian katz family

Janardan (1973) introduced the generalized Polya Eggenberger family of distributions (GPED) as a limiting distribution of the generalized Markov-Polya distribution (GMPD). Janardan and Rao (1982) gave a number of characterizing properties of the generalized Markov-Polya and generalized Polya Eggenberger distributions. Here, the GPED family characterized by four parameters, is formally defined and studied. The probability generating function, its moments, and certain recurrence relations with the moments are provided. The Lagrangian Katz family of distributions (Consul and Famoye (1996)) is shown to be a sub-class of the family of GPED (or GPED ₁ ) as it is called in this paper). A generalized Polya Eggenberger distribution of the second kind (GPED ₂ ) is also introduced and some of it's properties are given. Recurrence relations for the probabilities of GPED ₁ and GPED ₂ are given. A number of other structural and characteristic properties of the GPED ₁ are provided, from which the properties of Lagrangian Katz family follow. The parameters of GMPD ₁ are estimated by the method of moments and the maximum likelihood method. An application is provided.     

On Second-Order A-, D- and E-Minimax Designs for Estimating Slopes in Extrapolation and Restricted Interpolation Regions

Summary

The concepts of D-, A- and E-minimax optimality criteria of designs for estimating the slopes of a response surface are considered for situations where the region of interest may not be identical to the experimental region. Optimal second-order designs are derived for the situation where the experimental region and the region of interest are both hyperspherical with a common centre. The dependence of the optimal design on the relative sizes of the regions is investigated. Further, the perfomance of designs optimal for one region in estimating slopes in other regions is also examined.     

有自己作为的"接受史"--《接受的复调--中国巴赫金接受史研究》在接受史研究上的意义

虽然现代中国的文学学科的建立,其理论基石基本上依赖于对域外理论的接受,但有关域外文论的中国接受史研究,在<接受的复调--中国巴赫金接受史研究>问世之前,基本上还未受到重视.该著不把"知识"创新的根基落在新观念、新方法、新视野之上,而是让"知识"回归到"问题"的求解这一原始的根本上来,以及它总是自觉地对自己所从事的研究从研究方法上进行考量,从而在展露出新颖的研究领地的时候,还创造性地提出了一套有关接受史的独到的研究概念与方法的体系,这在中国的接受史研究的一定的范围或一定的意义上,可以说是具有范式开创意味的.     

论立法提案

立法提案是指有立法提案权的机关、组织或人员按照法定的程序和方式向特定的立法机关提出的关于制定、修改、废止某项法律法规的动议。立法提案与立法机关的立法规划有密切的联系。立法提案进入立法议程要遵循一定的程序规定。我国立法提案制度还存在一些问题需要在实践中进一步完善。

对"村官"罢免程序中的几个问题的探讨

新的<村民委员会组织法>规定了村民享有罢免权,但是在该法中却没有明确规定村民行使罢免权的程序及阻碍罢免权行使的相关制裁措施,使得村民在现实中行使罢免权受到了种种障碍.笔者就村民行使罢免权程序上的问题提出了相关的完善建议.
