ON SOME OPTIMALITY PROPERTIES OF FISHER-RAO SCORE FUNCTION IN TESTING AND ESTIMATION

The score function is associated with some optimality features in statistical inference. This review article looks on the central role of the score in testing and estimation. The maximization of the power in testing and the quest for efficiency in estimation lead to score as a guiding principle. In hypothesis testing, the locally most powerful test statistic is the score test or a transformation of it. In estimation, the optimal estimating function is the score. The same link can be made in the case of nuisance parameters: the optimal test function should have maximum correlation with the score of the parameter of primary interest. We complement this result by showing that the same criterion should be satisfied in the estimation problem as well.

魏晋南北朝时期的妇女单身葬

魏晋南北朝时期,一些地位比较特殊的女子,死后往往采取单身葬的形式,但由于各人情况不一,所以并未完全形成制度。对于此类葬俗,史籍与文献记载较少。本文从目前已发现的文物考古资料中加以梳理,力求揭示出其基本面貌,以拾遗补阙。     

Negotiating narratives surrounding children's mental health diagnoses: Children and their contribution to the discourse

Despite increasing numbers of children diagnosed with mental health disorders, there is limited research on how children come to understand these diagnoses in childhood. This study examines the retrospective accounts of emerging adults who were diagnosed with mental health disorders in childhood to better understand how they made sense of their diagnoses over time. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 emerging adults (ages 18 to 22) who were diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and/or bipolar disorder in childhood. Interviews elicited participants' experiences learning about their diagnoses and suggestions for how diagnoses should best be explained to children. Findings demonstrate that participants actively sought and obtained information about their diagnoses over time. They negotiated narratives from several sources, including parents, teachers, mental health professionals, peers, siblings, the media, reading materials, and the Internet. Many of those who embraced medical accounts of their diagnoses did so as they obtained in-depth medical information over time. Meanwhile, those whose parents were open and communicative without using medical narratives suggest it is possible to share information with children without utilizing the terminology of “disorder.” Participants emphasize the importance of being open with children and providing them assurances, explaining that their problems are legitimate, common, and “not their fault.” Implications for social work practice are discussed.     

Comment se font les administrations : analyser des activités administratives constituantes

Between studies in historical sociology on changes in public administrations and microsociological analyses of the ordinary work done by civil servants, an intermediate perspective is advocated, one centered on “constituent administrative activities”. Following a panorama of the varied researches on public administrations, the proposal is made to focus on the arrangements that shape administrations and form their essential operations. Recruitment, personnel evaluation, the division of labor, the restructuring of hierarchies and the activities of keeping written records and statistics (writing and counting) should be the subjects of study. When placed in their historical and social contexts, they help us better understand how public administrations last and change. Discussing the scale of analysis and making comparisons over time and in space, this article presents the other contributions to this special issue. Less linear approaches are suggested for analyzing the historical processes of the “bureaucratization” and “managerialization” of administrative systems.     

《旅心》、《红纱灯》与日本文化

《旅心》和《红纱灯》是穆木天和冯乃超旅日生涯的结晶,不仅情感特征更多地带上了日本"物哀"色彩,而且在朦胧幽玄的情调,对自然界声色的高度敏感,对音乐美的探索以及其象征主义中包孕浓厚的唯美色彩等等方面,都表现出对于日本文化的广泛吸收与交融。     

文化创意产业就业影响因素及其效应

从技术水平、资本投入、产业结构、城市化进程四个因素出发，利用相关数据构建线性模型．对决定文化创意产业就业的因素进行数量分析。结果显示：投资水平、产业结构转变、城市化水平对文化创意产业的就业影响起着积极影响。从各因素的影响系数来看，城市化水平影响程度最大，而目前我国文化创意产业的技术水平还未对文化创意产业产生就业挤出效应，这说明了目前我国文化创意产业的技术可能仍以资本节约型技术为主。     

Confidence Intervals for Gini's Diversity Measure and Shannon's Entropy Using Adjusted Proportions

Abstract

Asymptotic confidence intervals are given for two functions of multinomial outcome probabilities: Gini's diversity measure and Shannon's entropy. “Adjusted” proportions are used in all asymptotic mean and variance formulas, along with a possible logarithmic transformation. Exact confidence coefficients are computed in some cases. Monte Carlo simulation is used in other cases to compare actual coverages to nominal ones. Some recommendations are made.
