Bad News about Bad News: The Disclosure of Risks to Insurability in Research Consent Processes

Many people have difficulty in generating random numbers. This difficulty suggests that potentially fabricated numbers encountered in investigations of scientific misconduct be examined for nonrandom behavior. The present paper shows that even with a conscious effort to construct random digits, many subjects are unable to produce digits with a uniform distribution. For this study, subjects were directed to try to produce random digits in three places in order to fabricate a series of “pick 3”; lottery numbers. Subjects were most successful at producing a random (uniform) distribution of digits for the leftmost place; however, success at one place was not associated with success at another. In addition, subjects did not select all digits with equal frequency. Of 8,280 digits chosen in this study, the order from most to least chosen was 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 9, 7, 0, 8, 5. Finally, no strong correlations among subjects’ digit choices were found. The conscious effort by these subjects to produce random digits stands in contrast with the usual case of data fabrication in which the fabricator must devote a conscious effort to choose leftmost digits so the number has the magnitude desired and pays little or no attention to the fact that the rightmost digits should be random. The results of the present paper indicate that even if a data‐fabricator were aware that error digits would be examined for uniformity, success in constructing uniform error distributions is not guaranteed. The difficulty that people have in creating random error digits supports the utility of examining such digits in investigations of scientific misconduct.     

国企类型化下国资监管改革的法律路径

党的十八届三中全会中确立了以“管资本”为主的新型国有资产监管体制,但并不是所有类型的国有企业都适用于这种监管体制。应当依据国有企业所处领域和功能目标的不同,将其分为公益性国有企业和营利性国有企业,并在此基础上设计出针对不同类型国有企业的国资监管法律路径。在国企类型化下的国资监管改革过程中,要坚持市场化导向的指导原则,将国有资产统一监管与分类监管相结合,实现由“管企业”向“管资本”国资监管方式的转变。     

市场结构与最终产品的策略性贸易政策分析

在有关垂直相关产业最终产品贸易政策的研究中,许多文献假定下游两国市场为独占,本文将下游两国的市场结构修改为寡占,并结合上游厂商的定价方式,分析下游国家市场结构的变化对其贸易政策的影响。研究发现：若上游厂商采用歧视定价,则下游两国的贸易政策仍为课税,与以往文献相同;若采用统一定价,则厂商数目较多的下游国家,最优出口政策为课税,反之,则为补贴;若两国厂商数目相同,则同为补贴,与以往文献不同。

毛泽东是探索适合中国情况的社会主义建设道路的伟大开创者

社会主义改造基本完成后,毛泽东就开始思考、探索建设适合中国实际情况的社会主义。他运用对立统一原理具体而深入地分析当时社会各个方面的矛盾,提出用几个“并举”来建设社会主义经济,用“百花齐放、百家争鸣”的政策来促进社会主义艺术文化的发展和科学技术的进步,用集中和民主、纪律和自由的对立统一来构建社会主义的政治局面。毛泽东是探索建设适合中国实际情况的社会主义的伟大开创者。     

论量刑情节竞合的解决

量刑情节竞合是指同一案件中存在多种量刑情节的情况 ,包括同向量刑情节竞合和逆向量刑情节竞合。对于同向量刑情节的竞合 ,应在区分多种从宽情节的竞合和多种从严情节的竞合的基础上予以不同处理 ;对于逆向情节的竞合 ,应主张抵消说 ,但抵消说必须在量刑情节对于刑罚量的影响指数和量刑裁量程序两方面进行完善。     

Omnitab-a simple language for statistical computations

The OMNITAB system of computer programming provides a simple, yet extremely versatile means of communicating with the computer using simple English words and phrases, It is written in FORTRAN and is available for implementation on UNIVAC 1108, IBM 360, Burroughs 5500 and CDC 6600 equipment. It is based on a worksheet, stored in the computer, which is a two dimensional array easy to visualize even by beginners. The system has particular use for students of statistics, of all ages, in that it allows them to interact with the data without requiring that they master any diffiicult and esoteric (for statisticians) computer skills. The programming system is described together with several applications to statistical problems. Full program documentation is available from the authors.     

Evaluating the power of the mann-whitney test using the bootstrap method

In this paper we evaluate the power of the Mann-Whitney test in the shift model G(x) = F (x+θ) for all x , where the distribution of G is obtained by shifting F by an amount of θ.

The bootstrap method was used to evaluate the power of the Mann-Whitney test . A comparison among the bootstrap power , the asymptotic power of the Mann-Whitney test and the t-test power proved that the bootstrap is a better technique , because , it does not require the assumption of normality.     

Conditional and Restricted Pareto Sampling: Two New Methods for Unequal Probability Sampling

Abstract. Two new unequal probability sampling methods are introduced: conditional and restricted Pareto sampling. The advantage of conditional Pareto sampling compared with standard Pareto sampling, introduced by Rosén (J. Statist. Plann. Inference, 62, 1997, 135, 159), is that the factual inclusion probabilities better agree with the desired ones. Restricted Pareto sampling, preferably conditioned or adjusted, is able to handle cases where there are several restrictions on the sample and is an alternative to the recent cube method for balanced sampling introduced by Deville and Tillé (Biometrika, 91, 2004, 893). The new sampling designs have high entropy and the involved random numbers can be seen as permanent random numbers.
