Power Loss for Inhomogeneous Poisson Processes

In this work, based on a realization of an inhomogeneous Poisson process whose intensity function depends on a real parameter, we consider a simple null hypothesis against the composite one sided alternative. Under certain regularity conditions we will obtain the power loss of the score test which measures its performance with respect to the Neyman-Pearson test. We present the second-order approximation of the power of the score test under the close alternatives by specifying the explicit form of the next term after the Gaussian term.     

Public Sociology and the Democratization of Technology: Drawing on User -led Research to Achieve Mutual Education

In an effort to further advance public sociology and its relationship with technology, this paper looks at a democratic model of collaboration within the technological sciences. We draw on the concept of user- led research to demonstrate how sociologists, scientists and various stakeholders within the public sphere can achieve reciprocal, meaningful and sustained knowledge translation. Furthermore, we argue that by acknowledging participants’ technological needs and reducing unnecessary complexity, the user -led method advances Burawoy’s “dialogue as mutual education” within public sociology.
