《论语》中的修养之道——从文本形式进入的思考

《论语》记载了孔子的言行及其与弟子时人的问答,解读时宜把语录意义与语录存在的具体语境、涉及的特定对象联系起来;假如脱离具体境况纯粹作形而上的认识,就不免有断章取义之嫌。语录涉及的对象大略分为"君"、"仕"和"士"三类,其中的修养之道各有侧重:关于"君",要求仁爱、以身作则;关于"仕",要求敬事、谨慎、谦恭和识时务;关于"士",则要求有信仰和批判的精神,奋发有为。孔子提出这样的修养之道,是根据角色定位("角色")和适时而处("时中")的原则,其中关于个体性和社会性相统一的认识尤其有当代意义。     

Inference on a progressive type I interval-censored truncated normal distribution

In this paper, we consider the problem of making statistical inference for a truncated normal distribution under progressive type I interval censoring. We obtain maximum likelihood estimators of unknown parameters using the expectation-maximization algorithm and in sequel, we also compute corresponding midpoint estimates of parameters. Estimation based on the probability plot method is also considered. Asymptotic confidence intervals of unknown parameters are constructed based on the observed Fisher information matrix. We obtain Bayes estimators of parameters with respect to informative and non-informative prior distributions under squared error and linex loss functions. We compute these estimates using the importance sampling procedure. The highest posterior density intervals of unknown parameters are constructed as well. We present a Monte Carlo simulation study to compare the performance of proposed point and interval estimators. Analysis of a real data set is also performed for illustration purposes. Finally, inspection times and optimal censoring plans based on the expected Fisher information matrix are discussed.     

蜕变与再生——菲律宾洪水神话的宏观结构

菲律宾洪水神话异文的具体情节不尽相同,但其隐含的基本叙事结构却是共同的,都可以划分为开端、中介、结尾三个发展阶段,于是可以用一个统一的情节结构纲目来归纳各异文中的情节发展。它们在宏观叙事结构上具有“蜕变型”的统一范式,意味着由旧秩序向新秩序的蜕变。     

"科技-生产"范式的内涵及其历史演进

"科学、技术、生产"所组成的紧密联系的整体构成了"科技-生产"系统,这一系统的内在结构关系表现为某种模式、模型,它是科学、技术、生产三者相互作用关系的集中体现.我们将这一模式、模型称为"科技-生产"范式.思维模式规定性、技术规定性、制度规定性、结构功能规定性是"科技-生产"范式的四种基本属性.人类历史迄今,"科技-生产"范式经历了一系列转换,包括"实体-能量-信息"三重思维模式转换、从"革命-延续"到"创新-集成"的技术转换、"强制有序-协同自序"制度体系的转化以及"工业社会-知识社会"的结构功能转换等.积极促进我国"科技-生产"范式的转换,建立新型的"科技-生产"范式对于新型工业化社会的构建具有重要意义.

姓名称谓的汉语表达

姓名称谓是整个称谓系统中的重要组成部分 ,姓名称谓在汉语表达中常以其特定的变称形式出现 ,且每种变称形式都各有其表意特色 ,外来语姓名称谓也受此影响而“汉化”。姓名称谓的汉语表达具有鲜明的时代性和民族性 ,文化心态、语体风格等都对它有着一定的影响     

On optimal testing for the equality of equicorrelation: An example of loss in power

Sen Gupta (1988) considered a locally most powerful (LMP) test for testing nonzero values of the equicorrelation coefficient of a standard symmetric multivariate normal distribution. This paper constructs analogous tests for the symmetric multivariate normal distribution. It shows that the new test is uniformly most powerful invariant even in the presence of a nuisance parameter, σ². Further applications of LMP invariant tests to several equicorrelated populations have been considered and an extension to panel data modeling has been suggested.     

On hysteretic vector autoregressive model with applications

This paper proposes a new hysteretic vector autoregressive (HVAR) model in which the regime switching may be delayed when the hysteresis variable lies in a hysteresis zone. We integrate an adapted multivariate Student-t distribution from amending the scale mixtures of normal distributions. This HVAR model allows for a higher degree of flexibility in the degrees of freedom for each time series. We use the proposed model to test for a causal relationship between any two target time series. Using posterior odds ratios, we overcome the limitations of the classical approach to multiple testing. Both simulated and real examples herein help illustrate the suggested methods. We apply the proposed HVAR model to investigate the causal relationship between the quarterly growth rates of gross domestic product of United Kingdom and United States. Moreover, we check the pairwise lagged dependence of daily PM2.5 levels in three districts of Taipei.     

A new estimator of Kullback–Leibler information and its application in goodness of fit tests*

We propose here a general statistic for the goodness of fit test of statistical distributions. The proposed statistic is constructed based on an estimate of Kullback–Leibler information. The proposed test is consistent and the limiting distribution of the test statistic is derived. Then, the established results are used to introduce goodness of fit tests for the normal, exponential, Laplace and Weibull distributions. A simulation study is carried out for examining the power of the proposed test and to compare it with those of some existing procedures. Finally, some illustrative examples are presented and analysed, and concluding comments are made.
