Combining grey relation and TOPSIS concepts for selecting an expatriate host country

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. From the point of view of an expatriate candidate, the decision of whether to take an expatriate assignment can be regarded as a FMCDM (fuzzy multiple criteria decision making) problem. This paper describes a fuzzy AHP (fuzzy analytic hierarchy process) to determine the weighting of subjective judgments. Using the Sugeno integral for λ-fuzzy measure, and using the nonadditive fuzzy integral technique to evaluate the synthetic utility values of the alternatives and the fuzzy weights, then the best host country alternative can be derived with the grey relation model. The authors further combine the grey relation model based on the concepts of TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) to evaluate and select the best alternative. A real case of expatriate assignment decision-making was used to demonstrate that the grey relation model combined with the ideas of TOPSIS results in a satisfactory and effective evaluation.     

Two-dimensional four-line models of the Ising model type

We briefly describe the theory of root transfer matrices for four-line models with the field in the new indexless form. We use theoretical and numerical methods to reveal new effects in the theory of singular points and phase transitions. A substantial part of the results is obtained using a numerical algorithm that drastically (at least exponentially) reduces the computational complexity of Ising-type models by using the extremely sparse root transfer matrix. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 149, No. 2, pp. 281–298, November, 2006.     

基于JGLM-RM模型的动态稳健设计及其应用

根据动态稳健设计的基本思想和方法,结合联合广义线性模型(Joint Generalized linearmodel)和响应模型(Response model)各自的特点和优势,构建出基于JGLM-RM的动态稳健设计模型。利用新模型对具体工业案例进行了实证研究,结果表明新模型不仅能有效地区分具体噪声因子和潜在噪声因子对整个过程波动的影响,而且能够灵活地调节模型的截距和斜率。此外,新模型引入了均值和散度的联合广义线性模型因此能适应广泛的响应类型。

Estimation of a smooth quantile function under the proportional hazards model

The problem of estimating a smooth quantile function, Q(·), at a fixed point p, 0 < p < 1, is treated under a nonparametric smoothness condition on Q. The asymptotic relative deficiency of the sample quantile based on the maximum likelihood estimate of the survival function under the proportional hazards model with respect to kernel type estimators of the quantile is evaluated. The comparison is based on the mean square errors of the estimators. It is shown that the relative deficiency tends to infinity as the sample size, n, tends to infinity.     

中国股市与汇市的波动溢出效应模型研究与实证分析

选取2009年1月5日-2012年5月22的人民币兑美元汇率和上证综指的日交易数据为对象,采用BEKK—GARCH模型,并结合LR似然比检验,对中国汇市与股市的波动溢出效应进行建模研究与实证分析．实证结果表明,整体样本存在汇率到上证指数的波动溢出,这种溢出是单向的;第二次汇改前,既不存在汇率到上证指数的波动溢出,也不存在上证指数到汇率的波动溢出;第二次汇改后,既存在汇率到上证指数的波动溢出,也存在上证指数到汇率的微弱的波动溢出．

Bifurcation and disaggregation in urban/regional spatial modelling: A technical note

Using the Lowry-Garin model as an example, we illustrate the complexity of bifurcation and aggregation issues in urban/regional spatial systems. As a first step, a disaggregate version of the Lowry-Garin model is formulated. Then the general conditions for bifurcation are identified in terms of disaggregate labor-force participation rate, population-serving ratio and accessibility indices. Physical interpretation of these conditions is also given.
