Optimum designs for parameter estimation in a mixture experiment with two correlated responses

In this paper, we investigate a mixture problem with two responses, which are functions of the mixing proportions, and are correlated with known dispersion matrix. We obtain D- and A-optimal designs for estimating the parameters of the response functions, when none or some of the regression coefficients of the two functions are the same. It is shown that when no prior knowledge about the regression coefficients is available, the D-optimal design is independent of the dispersion matrix, while the A-optimal design depends on it, provided the response functions are of different degree. On the other hand, when some of the regression coefficients are known to be the same for both the functions, the D-optimal design depends on the dispersion matrix when the two response functions are not of the same degree.     

Designing a multiple state repetitive group sampling plan based on the coefficient of variation

A multiple state repetitive group sampling (MSRGS) plan is developed on the basis of the coefficient of variation (CV) of the quality characteristic which follows a normal distribution with unknown mean and variance. The optimal plan parameters of the proposed plan are solved by a nonlinear optimization model, which satisfies the given producer's risk and consumer's risk at the same time and minimizes the average sample number required for inspection. The advantages of the proposed MSRGS plan over the existing sampling plans are discussed. Finally an example is given to illustrate the proposed plan.     

Generalized minimum aberration mixed-level orthogonal arrays: A general approach based on sequential integer quadratically constrained quadratic programming

Orthogonal fractional factorial designs and in particular orthogonal arrays (OAs) are frequently used in many fields of application, including medicine, engineering, and agriculture. In this article, we present a methodology and an algorithm to find an OA, of given size and strength, which satisfies the generalized minimum aberration criterion. The methodology is based on the joint use of polynomial counting functions, complex coding of levels, and algorithms for quadratic optimization and puts no restriction on the number of levels of each factor.     

从“凯恩斯效应”到“阿米曲线”——政府规模与经济增长关系的非线性转向

政府规模与经济增长之间的关系问题是宏观经济研究中的核心问题之一.关于两者关系的传统研究往往以线性假定为基础,所以实证结果出现了巨大的差异.这种现象促使研究者从非线性角度重新审视政府规模与经济增长之间的关系.“巴罗法则”在内生增长框架内为政府规模与经济增长关系研究提供了一个标准的分析框架,揭示了两者之间的倒“U”关系.而“Armey曲线”不仅非常直观地表达了政府规模与经济增长之间的非线性关系,同时还指出这种非对称关系的非对称性质,具有很强的总结性和政策指导意义.     

科技力与区域金融综合竞争力的模糊曲线分析

针对区域金融研究现状的不足,利用复杂系统原理,建立了全面、客观的金融综合竞争力指标体系,将其分为显示性指标和解释性指标两部分,选取31个地区作为样本,运用主成分和因子分析法对各个区域的金融成长状况进行计量分析研究和排序,并在此基础上进行聚类分析;在解释性指标的模糊曲线分析中,选取科技力指标,通过分析得出该指标以及构成该指标的各个分力与金融综合竞争力存在显著相关关系。科技力对区域金融综合竞争力的解释力和贡献率很高,因此科技力量对金融的发展水平起着决定性作用。     

基于广义误差分布的股票收益率波动特征分析

假设股票收益率序列服从具有厚尾特征的GED分布,利用多种非对称性模型描述和检验了沪市股票日收益率序列的波动性特征,发现股票价格波动具有条件异方差性,并通过对股票市场信息影响曲线的分析,刻画了沪市股票价格波动中的显著非对称性。这说明股市波动对于不同的政策干预和信息冲击具有不同程度的反应,且非对称性的方向与以往结论有所不同,说明我国股市风险变异特征和收益状况在不断的发生变化,＂利好消息＂对股市的刺激作用需要其他市场干预的配合才能发挥出来。     

中国电力工业环境学习曲线与节能减排潜力分析

电力行业在生产过程中,消耗大量的资源且排放大量的污染物,在资源环境保护方面承担着非常重要的责任。利用1991—2005年的时间序列数据,选取万元产值能耗、水耗、SO2排放、COD排放等九个主要指标,建立电力工业能耗和大气污染、水耗和水环境污染随着人均GDP变化的环境学习曲线,并根据这些曲线分析了不同时段,我国电力工业的环境负荷和节能减排潜力。结果发现:我国电力工业资源环境九项指标均随人均GDP的增长呈幂指数衰减,不同时段电力工业万元产值环境负荷逐渐下降,同时节能减排的潜力也逐年下降,这是由环保意识增强和经济技术发展而产生的必然结果。     

农业生产风险管理策略的研究

农业生产经营风险管理所涉及的风险因素很多,主要有:(1)单产变化;(2)价格变化;(3)新技术或新知识变化;(4)农业投入水平变化;(5)政府政策变化;(6)法律变化;(7)消费者偏好变化,等等。通过权衡风险和收益,采用适宜的管理策略来规避风险,提高收益,形成了一系列非确定性关系下的风险决策方法。联系河北省20世纪90年代以来农业生产的实际情况,探讨了各种主要的规避或减少农业生产风险的方法和策略,如利用偏相关系数最小的方法选择稳定的生产项目;采用多种经营以分散风险的组合策略;提高农业生产经营灵活性的诸多措施;利用二次规划以建立风险最小而又能保证一定收入水平的最优规划方法等。     

Accuracy of approximate progressively censored reliability sampling plans for exponential models

Reliability sampling plans provide an efficient method to determine the acceptability of a product based upon the lifelengths of some test units. Usually, they depend on the producer and consumer’s quality requirements and do not admit closed form solutions. Acceptance sampling plans for one- and two-parameter exponential lifetime models, derived by approximating the operating characteristic curve, are presented in this paper. The accuracy of these approximate plans, which are explicitly expressible and valid for failure and progressive censoring, is assessed. The approximation proposed in the one-parameter case is found to be practically exact. Explicit lower and upper bounds on the smallest sample size are given in the two-parameter case. Some additional advantages are also pointed out.
