A process capability index with reliable confidence intervals

A well-know process capability index is slightly modified in this article to provide a new measure of process capability which takes account of the process location and variability, and for which point estimator and confidence intervals do exist that are insensitive to departures from the assumption of normal variability. Two examples of applications based on real data are presented.     

Proportional Trapping-Removal Model with a Known Ratio

ABSTRACT

Population size estimator is derived for a proportional trapping-removal model with a known ratio between two sub-population sizes, and the corresponding asymptotic properties is obtained. The performance of the proposed estimator is checked via simulation studies and an example.

On rates of convergence to infinitely divisible laws for dependent random variables

Large O and small o approximations of the expected value of a class of functions (modified K-functional and Lipschitz class) of the normalized partial sums of dependent random variables by the expectation of the corresponding functions of infinitely divisible random variables have been established. As a special case, we have obtained rates of convergence to the Stable Limit Laws and to the Weak Laws of Large Numbers. The technique used is the conditional version of the operator method of Trotter and the Taylor expansion.     

修辞学是否属于言语的语言学讨论述评

围绕修辞学是否属于言语的语言学,语言学界讨论了近半个世纪,迄今分歧依旧。肯定派和否定派的观点都有道理。之所以产生分歧,原因有三:(1)索绪尔《教程》本身不统一、不严密;(2)语言和言语的划分存在多种方案;(3)研究者考虑问题的侧重点有所不同。     

从生态-能量系统通往更深层的文化唯物主义--论中国地域文化研究对西方文化学最新成果的批判借鉴

作为一种文化唯物主义理论,西方流行的"文化进化论"中有一些成分值得中国地域文化研究加以批判借鉴。其中,"文化生态学"和"文化进化能量法"以及"新进化论"等学说,均在一定程度上与唯物史观有所契合,对我们解剖中国地域文化的异同提供了某种基本视角。     

A brief proof on the generalized variance bound of the relative efficiency in statistics

In this paper, we obtain a brief proof on the generalized varance bound of the relative efficiency that was simultaneously given by Bloomfield and Watson(1975) and by Knott (1975).     

SERIES REPRESENTATION OF DOUBLY NONCENTRAL t DISTRIBUTION BY USE OF THE MELLIN INTEGRAL TRANSFORM

ABSTRACT

The Mellin integral transform is widely used to find the distributions of products and quotients of independent random variables defined over the positive domain. But it is hardly used to derive the distributions defined over both positive and negative values of the random variables. In this paper, the Mellin integral transform is applied to obtain the doubly noncentral t density and its distribution function in convergent series forms.     

结构助词“的”的使用规律

对结构助词“的”的使用规律。从句子、语义、语用三个平面加以考察。“的”的取舍对句法、语义结构关系产生影响时，必须用“的”；对句法、语义结构的改变没有影响时，“的”的取舍由语用上的需要决定。“的”的取舍在句法、语义规则上具有强制性，在语用规则上具有选择性。     

Does trust increase willingness to pay higher taxes to help the needy?

The article studies the causal effect of trust on the willingness to pay higher taxes to help the needy in a sample of 29 countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, and the former Soviet Union and Mongolia. It is hypothesized that interpersonal trust leads to a greater willingness to pay taxes to help the needy since (i) trust increases the likelihood of helping strangers; (ii) trust fosters solidarity and cooperation when working to solve common problems in society; and (iii) trust reduces suspicion with respect to the perceived misuse of redistributed money. Three key findings are that the more people trust each other, the more they are ready to support the welfare state; the effect of trust on welfare state support holds even in a contextual environment characterized by rather lower levels of trust and relatively underdeveloped systems of redistribution; and higher individual‐level trust fosters tax morale and helps deter tax evasion.
