人口普查覆盖误差估计方法综述

人口普查工作的质量主要体现在覆盖误差的规模上.人口统计学家创建了估计人口普查覆盖误差的方法.有些方法利用独立于人口普查本身的信息,另外一些方法则利用人口行政记录的信息.由于每种方法都有其特定的形成背景和适用范围,因而没有适合于所有国家和地区的通用方法.通过对美国、新西兰、澳大利亚、英国和中国的人口普查覆盖误差估计方法进行了较为详细的介绍,说明了这些方法的使用情况.研究表明,任何一种估计方法都有其局限性,需要不断改进与完善.

用综合财务指标衡量企业融资约束

投资现金流敏感性是关于企业融资约束研究中普遍采用的方法,但近十年以来对该方法的合理性有越来越多的争议。本论文以kaplan和Zingales的研究为基础,选择中国上市公司样本数据建立用于识别融资约束的综合财务指标评分模型,获得了可信度较高的度量企业融资约束的数值区间。研究结果为识别企业融资约束提供了可用的基本的方法,丰富了企业投资、融资研究和融资约束方面的研究。     

Route‐Independent Analysis of Available Capacity in Flexible Manufacturing Systems

In a job shop, because of large setup times, each operation is assigned to only one machine. There is no alternative routing. In a flexible manufacturing system, each manufacturing operation can often be performed on several machines. Therefore, with automated equipment, the capacity of a machine to perform certain operations is not independent of the capacity of other machines. Often, however, operations managers can use a route‐independent answer to production planning questions. For example, how much can be produced of a certain part type and when are important capacity questions in business negotiations, when the detailed routing and scheduling are not yet of interest or cannot be known. This paper provides a mathematical model for the route‐independent analysis of the capacity of flexible manufacturing systems based on a concept of operation types. An example is provided both to illustrate the use of operation types and to highlight the differences between the traditional route‐dependent and the proposed route‐independent formulations of capacity constraints. Some computational results are also given. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is developed to analyze the feasibility of production plans when production requirements and machine capacities can change.     

Estimation of Error and Bias in Bayesian Monte Carlo Decision Analysis Using the Bootstrap

Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC) decision analysis adopts a sampling procedure to estimate likelihoods and distributions of outcomes, and then uses that information to calculate the expected performance of alternative strategies, the value of information, and the value of including uncertainty. These decision analysis outputs are therefore subject to sample error. The standard error of each estimate and its bias, if any, can be estimated by the bootstrap procedure. The bootstrap operates by resampling (with replacement) from the original BMC sample, and redoing the decision analysis. Repeating this procedure yields a distribution of decision analysis outputs. The bootstrap approach to estimating the effect of sample error upon BMC analysis is illustrated with a simple value-of-information calculation along with an analysis of a proposed control structure for Lake Erie. The examples show that the outputs of BMC decision analysis can have high levels of sample error and bias.     

具有多元权值约束的鲁棒 LPM 积极投资组合

在用方差控制投资组合风险的同时,由于方差的对称性导致投资组合的收益也受到限制． 相比之下,下偏距 (lower partial moment: LPM) 由于具有只控制风险,而不限制收益的特点,在近年来倍受关注． 但在非正态假设下,LPM 无法获得良好的解析性质． 在对资产收益分布未知的假设下,通过使用最坏情形下的LPM来度量投资组合的损失,提出了具有多元权值约束的鲁棒积极投资组合问题,并获得了具有m( m=0,1,2) -阶 LPM 约束的鲁棒积极投资组合问题的解析解． 通过分析解的性质和比较问题的有效前沿,得到了许多有趣的和新颖的结果． 数值结果比较表明,鲁棒LPM模型比经典的均值－方差模型具有许多更好的性能．     

The Economic Efficiency of Sampling Size: The Case of Beef Trim

The economically optimal sample size in a food safety test balances the marginal costs and marginal benefits of increasing the sample size. We provide a method for selecting the sample size when testing beef trim for Escherichia coli O157:H7 that equates the averted costs of recalls and health damages from contaminated meats sold to consumers with the increased costs of testing while allowing for uncertainty about the underlying prevalence rates of contamination. Using simulations, we show that, in most cases, the optimal sample size is larger than the current sample size of 60 and, in some cases, it exceeds 120. Moreover, lots with a lower prevalence rate have a higher expected damage because contamination is more difficult to detect. Our simulations indicate that these lots have a higher optimal sampling rate.     

两《唐书·李邕传》正补

新旧《唐书·李邕传》对传主叙述互有异同， 并有疏谬。对照两传并利用其它文献， 可以确定李邕的籍里和生卒年； 证明他“补益《文选注》”是讹误； 考辨他仕途坎坷遭遇悲惨不是因为他险躁矜狂， 而主要由于封建官场倾轧与残酷， 他性格主要是刚毅忠烈， 英风豪气； 补充他与李白、杜甫、崔颢等盛唐文坛巨子的交往事迹， 由此表现出的长者风范， 以及他诗文书法作品数量及流传情况

Approximate Likelihoods for Generalized Linear Errors-in-variables Models

When measurement error is present in covariates, it is well known that naïvely fitting a generalized linear model results in inconsistent inferences. Several methods have been proposed to adjust for measurement error without making undue distributional assumptions about the unobserved true covariates. Stefanski and Carroll focused on an unbiased estimating function rather than a likelihood approach. Their estimating function, known as the conditional score, exists for logistic regression models but has two problems: a poorly behaved Wald test and multiple solutions. They suggested a heuristic procedure to identify the best solution that works well in practice but has little theoretical support compared with maximum likelihood estimation. To help to resolve these problems, we propose a conditional quasi-likelihood to accompany the conditional score that provides an alternative to Wald's test and successfully identifies the consistent solution in large samples.
