萨满教与北方少数民族的人生仪礼

本文认为 ,人生仪礼是在人生的重要转折时期或危机时期 ,如生死婚嫁等一个人一生中具有特殊意义的阶段上举行的民俗仪礼。在信仰萨满教的民族中 ,各种人生仪礼活动几乎都和萨满教发生一定的关系。     

Competency‐based Education: Evidence from Social Work Postgraduates from Five Universities in China

Social work education in China has undergone rapid development during last two decades. However, methods to define, measure, and evaluate social work students' competency remain largely unexplored. In this study, we evaluated competency in graduate social work students in China and examined factors that impacted competency, based on learning theory. Findings indicated that knowledge and skills learned in class, field placement, and social context all have effects on competency. How students think about individual development and the social work profession has the most significant effect. These findings carry implications for social work education in the Chinese context. The rapid development of social work education in China requires the effective measurement and evaluation of students' core competencies.

A special property of the expected log likelihooda special property of the expected log likelihood

It is shown that linear transformations of the logarithm are the only functions of the likelihood whose expected values discriminate between correct and incorrect likelihoods by a simple ordering property, assuming the correct probability density function is continuous. Also, an extension of this result is given for the predictive densities considered by Akaike.     

试论北方少数民族生殖崇拜的萨满教根基

中国少数民族中较常见的生殖崇拜现象往往和萨满教的性神秘观相关。在萨满教神话、仪式以及萨满教巫术操作过程中几乎都有一些与性有关的内容。在萨满教观念中,性器是一个富有巫术力量的神秘器官。在北方民族萨满教后期发展中,生殖崇拜和祖先崇拜往往结伴而行     

A suggested framework for analysis of urban-rural fertility differentials with an illustration of the Tanzanian case

This paper offers a framework for analyzing how individual characteristics and urban or rural "place" factors interact to influence fertility decisions. The framework builds on the Davis-Blake model and additionally shows how place or community variables influence exposure to intercourse, conception, and birth, either with or without a conscious decisionmaking process. The framework emphasizes the way person and place related factors combine to determine a woman's perception of her life options before bearing any children, as well as how changes in these factors may affect subsequent child decisions. The framework is briefly illustrated by the Tanzanian case. The analysis highlights urban-based considerations, such as education-wage differentials, which may influence the rural couple's decisions. A comparison of two rural cohorts shows that specific community variables such as cultural attitudes, accessibility, general educational levels, and child mortality mediate the influence of these urban-based phenomena.Research for this project was completed while the author was affiliated with GETEMPO, Washington, D.C., under contract to the Office of Urban Development, U.S. Agency for International Development.

On the mean square convergence of the convolution representation of linear filters

Mean square convergence is the most frequently considered mode of convergence for the infinite series convolution expressions representing filter outputs in stationary time series analysis. There is confusion, however, also in the literature, about which conditions guarantee that this convergence holds. If only general properties of the input series to the filter are known, it is appropriate to consider the class of series with these properties. For each of several classes of full rank, wide sense stationary, zero-mean, vector time series, a weakest possible condition on the frequency response function of a linear filter is given which guarantees that the time-domain convolution representation of the filter converges to the filter output in mean square, whenever the input series belongs to the class under consideration. The classes considered are (i) the purely nondeterministic series with essentially bounded spectral density matrix, (ii) all purely nondeterministic series, (iii) all series. We then show that more unified resttlts can be obtained if Cesiro sums are utilized to define the convergence of the convolution representation. The mean square convergence of infinite autoregressions is also discussed.     

Selection between models through multi-step-ahead forecasting

We develop and show applications of two new test statistics for deciding if one ARIMA model provides significantly better h-step-ahead forecasts than another, as measured by the difference of approximations to their asymptotic mean square forecast errors. The two statistics differ in the variance estimates used for normalization. Both variance estimates are consistent even when the models considered are incorrect. Our main variance estimate is further distinguished by accounting for parameter estimation, while the simpler variance estimate treats parameters as fixed. Their broad consistency properties offer improvements to what are known as tests of Diebold and Mariano (1995) type, which are tests that treat parameters as fixed and use variance estimates that are generally not consistent in our context. We show how these statistics can be calculated for any pair of ARIMA models with the same differencing operator.
