On the Restricted Order of Asymptotic Bases of Order Two

The restricted order of an asymptotic basis A is the least integer h, if it exists, such that every sufficiently large integer is the sum of h or fewer distinct elements of A. We show that any asymptotic basis of order 2 has a restricted order at most equal to 4. We also provide an example of an additive basis of order 2 whose restricted order is 4.To Jean-Louis Nicolas2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary—11B13     

The L* Partial Order on the Set of Group Matrices

In this paper,we use the L(o)wner partial order and the star partial order to introduce a new partial order (denoted by "L*") on the set of group matrices,and get some characteristics and properties of the new partial order.In particular,we prove that the L* partial order is a special kind of the core par-tial order and it is equivalent to the star partial order under some conditions.We also illustrate its difference from other partial orders with examples and find out under what conditions it is equivalent to other partial orders.     

A Characterization and the Intersection of the Maximal Compatible Extensions of a Partial Order

We present a characterization of the maximal compatible extensions of a given compatible partial order ≤  _r on a unary algebra (A,f ). These extensions can be constructed by using the compatible linear extensions of ≤  _r*, where (A*,f*) is the so called contracted quotient algebra of (A,f) and the compatible partial order ≤  _r* on (A*,f*) is naturally induced by ≤  _r . Using this characterization, we determine the intersection of the maximal compatible extensions of ≤  _r .      

A new nonparametric approach to the problem of agreement between two groups of judges

The problem of agreement between two or more groups of judges has receivedconsiderable attention during the past decede, beginning with the papers by Schucany & Frawley (1973) and Hollander & Sethuraman (1978). Twovery different definitions of agreement have emerged in the literature. The first states that two groups of judges agree if they use the same probability distribution to select their rank vectors, while the second defines agreement In terms of correlation coefficients. We utilize the first definition in developing a new approach to solving this agreement problem, relying heavily on computer-generated tables

Likelihood ratio tests for a class of non-oblique hypotheses

In this paper, we study the likelihood ratio tests for situations in which the null and alternative hypotheses are determined by two polyhedral cones,C ₁ andC ₂, which are nested so thatC ₁ L C ₂ andL is a linear space. The two cones are proved to be non-oblique. Members which satisfy this nesting condition are easily identified and include the cases in whichC ₁=L orL=C ₂. When testing two non-oblique hypotheses with variances unknown, the least favorable point within the null hypothesis has not been determined in general. However, for the situation considered here, the zero vector is shown to be least favorable within the null hypothesis. Two sets of hypotheses are said to be equivalent if they lead to the same likelihood ratio test. For two non-oblique polyhedral cones,C ₁ andC ₂, four sets of equivalent hypotheses are identified. IfC ₁ L C ₂, then the two cones in each of these four sets of hypotheses are similarly nested with a linear space in between.This research was supported in part by the National Institutes for Health under Grant 1 R01 GM42584-01A1.Part of this work is taken from this author's dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the Ph.D. Degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

���k-out-of-nϵͳ����Լ���²����Ĺ��ƺ��㷨

In this paper we focus on the sequential k-out-of-n model with covariates. We assume that the lifetime distribution given covariates belongs to the exponential family, and deal with log-linear model of the scale parameter of the exponential distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the model parameters with order restrictions are derived and some properties of the MLEs are discussed, and we give the algorithm of MLES and the result of simulation.     

中国股票市场有效性的复合评价

本文以2000年1月4日至2011年4月1日的上证综指(000001)和深圳综指(399106)的日收盘价和日收益率为研究对象,根据随机游走假设,采用对数动态自回归模型、游程检验和单位根检验,对上海股票交易所和深圳股票交易所的市场有效性分别进行检验,结果表明沪深两市都基本达到弱式有效。由于上述检验无法证明两股市之间是否存在影响,价格水平是否互相包含,因此有必要验证沪深两市是否为联合有效。本文采用Johansen协整检验和Granger因果关系检验,结果表明上证综指的日收益率对深圳综指的日收益率有一定的预测作用,但沪深两市的价格不存在长期均衡关系,因此可判断沪深股市基本达到联合的弱式有效。     

The Dissipative Spectral Methods for the First Order Linear Hyperbolic Equations

In this paper, we introduce the dissipative spectral methods (DSM) for the first order linear hyperbolic equations in one dimension. Specifically, we consider the Fourier DSM for periodic problems and the Legendre DSM for equations with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The error estimates of the methods are shown to be quasi-optimal for variable-coefficients equations. Numerical results are given to verify high accuracy of the DSM and to compare the proposed schemes with some high performance methods, showing some superiority in long-term integration for the periodic case and in dealing with limited smoothness near or at the boundary for the Dirichlet case.

Development and Analysis of Higher Order Finite Volume Methods over Rectangles for Elliptic Equations

Currently used finite volume methods are essentially low order methods. In this paper, we present a systematic way to derive higher order finite volume schemes from higher order mixed finite element methods. Mostly for convenience but sometimes from necessity, our procedure starts from the hybridization of the mixed method. It then approximates the inner product of vector functions by an appropriate, critical quadrature rule; this allows the elimination of the flux and Lagrange multiplier parameters so as to obtain equations in the scalar variable, which will define the finite volume method. Following this derivation with different mixed finite element spaces leads to a variety of finite volume schemes. In particular, we restrict ourselves to finite volume methods posed over rectangular partitions and begin by studying an efficient second-order finite volume method based on the Brezzi–Douglas–Fortin–Marini space of index two. Then, we present a general global analysis of the difference between the solution of the underlying mixed finite element method and its related finite volume method. Then, we derive finite volume methods of all orders from the Raviart–Thomas two-dimensional rectangular elements; we also find finite volume methods to associate with BDFM ₂ three-dimensional rectangles. In each case, we obtain optimal error estimates for both the scalar variable and the recovered flux.     

Nonparametric Bayesian Assessment of the Order of Dependence for Binary Sequences

This article discusses inference on the order of dependence in binary sequences. The proposed approach is based on the notion of partial exchangeability of order k. A partially exchangeable binary sequence of order k can be represented as a mixture of Markov chains. The mixture is with respect to the unknown transition probability matrix θ. We use this defining property to construct a semiparametric model for binary sequences by assuming a nonparametric prior on the transition matrix θ. This enables us to consider inference on the order of dependence without constraint to a particular parametric model. Implementing posterior simulation in the proposed model is complicated by the fact that the dimension of θ changes with the order of dependence k. We discuss appropriate posterior simulation schemes based on a pseudo prior approach. We extend the model to include covariates by considering an alternative parameterization as an autologistic regression which allows for a straightforward introduction of covariates. The regression on covariates raises the additional inference problem of variable selection. We discuss appropriate posterior simulation schemes, focusing on inference about the order of dependence. We discuss and develop the model with covariates only to the extent needed for such inference.
