Mindoro Mountain Rat
Rattus mindorensis
French: Rat de Mindoro / German: Schwarze Mindoro-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de montana de Mindoro
Other common names: Mindoro Black Rat, Mindoro Soft-furred Rat
Taxonomy. Mus mindorensis Thomas, 1898,
Mount Dulangan, 5000 ft (= 1524 m), Mindoro Island, Philippines.
Rattus mindorensis is in the R. rattus species group; it is morphologically similar to R. tiomanicus but not closely related to other Philippine Rattus species. It could be an insular form of R. tiomanicus, although this requires more research. Monotypic.
Distribution. Mindoro I, Philippines.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 190 mm,tail 163 mm, hindfoot 32-5 mm (from holotype). No specific data are available for body weight. The Mindoro Mountain Rat is medium-sized and very similar to the Malaysian Field Rat (R. tiomanicus). Pelage is soft, dense, and short. Dorsum is dark or blackish brown, highlighted with chestnut hues and covered with short black guard hairs. Venter is dark gray, washed with pale buff, although some individuals have dark slate-gray undersides; venter is not demarcated sharply from dorsum. Feet are black dorsally, with slightly lighter digits. Ears are short and covered with minute hairs, with patch of darker hairs around them; vibrissae are long. Tail is ¢.86% of head-body length, almost naked, and monocolored black. Skull is very similar to that of the Malaysian Field Rat. There are five pairs of mammae: one pectoral, one post-axillary, one abdominal, and two inguinal.
Habitat. Montane forests at elevations of 1000-1500 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Mindoro Mountain Rat is apparently not uncommon, but it might be threatened by deforestation dueto illegal logging on Mindoro, which generally occurs in lowlands outside of its preferred habitat. It is found in Mount Iglit National Park. Research is needed to understand its natural history, taxonomy, and conservation threats.

Roemer on Equality of Opportunity
Creators: name: Hild, Matthias
name: Voorhoeve, Alex
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: equality of opportunity, fairness

description: We critically discuss John Roemer's normative criterion of equal opportunity and advance opportunity dominance as an alternative criterion for the evaluation of policies. For  Roemer, strict equality of opportunity obtains when people, irrespectively of circumstances  beyond their control, have the same ability to achieve advantage through their free choices. To implement this idea, Roemer sorts people with similar circumstances into types and takes their free choices to be represented by their behaviour relative to other members of the same type or, as Roemer calls it, by their 'relative effort'. He then proposes that society should maximize the average advantage of all those whose circumstances cause them to be least well–off relative to others who have expended the same degree of relative effort.

We argue that typing and the relative effort metric conflate the factors for which we do and do not want to hold individuals responsible, whenever these factors are statistically correlated. Moreover, Roemer's rule for policy selection burdens the concept of equal opportunity with foreign distributive principles. Pointing to an inconsistency in Roemer's argument, we also note that his
selection rule violates his own requirement of Pareto-optimality. In response to these  difficulties, we advance the criterion of opportunity dominance which is Pareto optimal, maintains conceptual purity and does not conflate the factors for which individuals should and should not be held responsible. This criterion determines a set of candidate policies that are undominated in
opportunity and from which a final policy must be selected by additional, conceptually distinct principles of distributive justice.

Bayesian Source Separation with Jointly Distributed Mean and Mixing Coefficients vie MCMC and ICM
Creators: name: Rowe, Daniel B.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001

description: Recent source separation work has described a model which assumes a nonzero overall mean and incorporates prior knowledge regarding it. This is significant because source separation models that have previously been presented have assumed that the overall mean is zero. However, this work specified that the prior distribution which quantifies available prior knowledge regarding the overall mean be independent of the mixing coefficient matrix. The current paper generalizes this work by quantifying available prior information regarding the overall mean and mixing matrix with the use of joint prior distributions. This prior knowledge in the prior distributions is incorporated into the inferences along with the current data. Conjugate normal and generalized conjugate normal distributions are used. Algorithms for estimating the parameters of the model from the joint posterior distribution using both Gibbs sampling a Markov chain Monte Carlo method and the iterated conditional modes algorithm a deterministic optimization technique for marginal mean and maximum a posterior estimates respectively.

Tawitawi Forest Rat
Rattus tawitawiensis
French: Rat de Tawi-Tawi / German: Tawi-Tawi-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de bosque de Tawitawi
Other common names: Tawitawi Island Rat
Taxonomy. Rattus tawitawiensis Musser & Heaney, 1985,
“Batu Batu on the southern half of Tawitawi Island, part of the Tawita- wi Island Group in the Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines.”
Phylogenetic position of R. tawitawiensis in Rattus is unresolved. Morphologically, it is somewhat similar to R.hoffmannri, R. palmarum, R. burrus, R. simalurensis, and R. lugens, although more research is needed to deter mine their true relationships. Monotypic.
Distribution. Tawitawi I, Sulu Archipelago, Philippines.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 160-208 mm, tail 146-180 mm, hindfoot 39-42 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Tawitawi Forest Rat is medium-sized, with soft, short, thin, and sleek pelage; translucent, soft, and flexible spines; and black guard hairs throughout. Dorsum is rich dark brown, speckled buff and slightly lighter on sides due to suffusion of gray. Hairs are dark brown or black, although some have buff banding around tips that cause speckling. Venteris grayish, tinged with silver and buff, and hairs have gray bases and translucent or buff tips. Rusty patch occurs on chest, chest to chin, or chest and throat. Feet are dark brown dorsally and ventrally on hindfeet and light brown ventrally on forefoot. Ears are small and similar in color to dorsum. Tail ¢.87% of head-body length and unicolored dark brown. Skull has generally large, wide, deep, and chunky cranium. There are four pairs of mammae: one post-axillary, one abdominal, and two inguinally.
Habitat. Probably dense tropical forest.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Tawitawi Forest Rat is probably terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. The Tawitawi Forest Rat is only known from three specimens, and virtually nothing is known of its natural history, taxonomy, or conservation threats. It might be threatened by deforestation, political turmoil, and illegal logging.

TYPE SPECIES. Scorpio maculatus De Geer, 1778.
DIAGNOSIS. Medium sized buthids, adults 30–75 mm. Sternum type 1, triangular in shape. Pedipalps orthobothriotaxic, type Aβ. Chelal trichobothrium db located between dt and et. Three to five pairs of lateral eyes. Tibial spurs absent on all legs. Movable and fixed fingers of pedipalps with six rows of granules, several accessory granules and external and internal granules. Cheliceral fixed finger with a single ventral denticle. Third and fourth legs with tibial spurs. Tibia and tarsomeres of legs I–III with setae not arranged into bristle combs on dorsal surfaces. Tarsomeres II of leg IV with two rows of more than 30 dense setae. Mesosoma dorsally with one median carina. Telson with subaculear tooth pointed (except for Isometrus formosus Pocock, 1894). Pedipalp and metasomal segments longer in males than females.
COMMENTS. The taxonomic position of Isometrus formosus Pocock, 1894 from Indonesia is unclear. This species is probably not a member of the genus Isometrus, but comprises a separate genus. Two species of Isometrus, I. maculatus (De Geer, 1778) and I. thwaitesi Pocock, 1897 are known from Sri Lanka. Pocock, 1900: 48, in remarks on the Indian species I. thurstoni Pocock, 1893, wrote: "There are also two specimens in the British Museum labelled Ceylon ". However, as no other specimen of I. thurstoni has ever been recorded from Sri Lanka, we believe that I. thurstoni probably does not occur there.
DISTRIBUTION. Oriental region from India to Melanesia (see comments for I. maculatus).

The Positive Foundation of the Common Prior Assumption
Creators: name: Heifetz, Aviad
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: common prior, asymmetric information

description: The existence of a common prior is a property of the state space used to model the players' asymmetric information. We show that this property is not just a technical artifact of the model, but that it is immanent to the players' beliefs. To this end, we devise a condition, phrased solely in terms of the players' mutual beliefs about the basic, objective issues of possible uncertainty, which is equivalent to the existence of a common prior.

Subjects: Incomplete or Differential Information, Interactive Epistemology, Semantic Belief Systems, Syntactic Belief Systems, Common Priors

description: In interactive contexts such as games and economies, it is important to take account not only of what the players believe about substantive matters (such as payoffs), but also of what they believe about the beliefs of other players. Two different but equivalent ways of dealing with this matter, the semantic and the syntactic, are set forth. Canonical and universal semantic systems are then defined and constructed, and the concepts of common knowledge and common priors formulated and characterized. The last two sections discuss relations with Bayesian games of incomplete information and their applications, and with interactive epistemology -- the theory of multi-agent knowledge and belief as formulated in mathematical logic.

A Note on Impossibility Theorems and Seniority Rules
Creators: name: Hild, Matthias
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: consistency, lexical dictatorship, rationality, seniority, social choice theory

description: The purpose of a social choice rule is to resolve conflicts among the preferences of a group of individuals. We should therefore require a social choice rules not to remain indecisive between alternatives for which individuals have conflicting preferences. Suppose we also adopt the requirements of a universal domain, strict Pareto optimality and independence of irrelevant alternatives. We then obtain the existence of a dictatorship (for binary choices) already under the weak consistency assumption that the group's choice function must always generate a preference relation that is acyclical over triples of alternatives. By contrast to other theorems, this results holds without any restrictions on the size of the group and without the axiom of positive responsiveness. Under the same consistency condition, we furthermore obtain an axiomatic characterization of seniority rules, also known as lexical dictatorships.

Mount Giluwe Rat
Rattus giluwensis French: Rat du Giluwe / German: Giluwe-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de Giluwe Other common names: Giluwe Rat
Taxonomy. Rattus ruber giluwensis Hill, 1960,
Mount Giluwe, 11,000-12,000 feet (= 3350— 3660 m), Papua, north-eastern New Guinea.
Rattus giluwensis is in the Recent New Guinea species group and sister to a clade including R. verecundus, R. praetor, R. steini, and R. novaeguineae. Monotypic.
Distribution. Mt Giulwe and its nearby peaks and Kaijende Highlands, EC New Guinea.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 136— 187 mm, tail 84=108 mm, hindfoot 28— 32 mm; weight 50-60 g. The Mount Giluwe Rat is small and vole-like, with long, very thick, and soft pelage without spines. Dorsum is rich cinnamon brown, with longer black guard hairs throughout, being more conspicuous toward rump. Juveniles are less richly cinnamon brown, with less developed guard hairs. Dorsal pelage fades into ventral pelage. Venter is yellowish gray, being dark or steel gray with yellowish buff to cinnamon tips. Feet are dark brown and covered with light brown hair dorsally. Ears are covered with short brown hair and are a similar color to dorsum; vibrissae are fairly short. Tail is only ¢.65% of head-body length and uniformly brown, with inconspicuous hairs throughout. Skull is thinly built, with small rostrum compared with cranial region. Gastrointestinal helminth genera Heterakis and Odilia have been found in Mount Giluwe Rats. There are four pairs of mammae: one pectoral, one postaxial, and two inguinal pairs.
Habitat. Subalpine grassland, moss forests, and beech-moss zone at elevations of 2195— 3660 m.
Food and Feeding. Diet probably consists of grass seeds and buds and flowers of alpine plants.
Breeding. Reproduction probably occurs in February-March, June, and October.
Activity patterns. The Mount Giluwe Rat is probably nocturnal. It constructs shallow tunnels that lead to nests in tussock grass.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Mount Giluwe Rat has a restricted distribution but seems to have a stable overall population. It is preyed on by domestic dogs and might be threatened by increased fire frequency in the region.

Economic Value of EWA Lite: A Functional Theory of Learning in Games
Creators: name: Ho, Teck-Hua
name: Camerer, Colin F.
name: Chong, Juin-Kuan
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001

description: EWA Lite is a one-parameter theory of learning in normal-form games. It approximates the free parameters in an earlier model (EWA) with functions of experience. The theory is tested on seven different games and compared to other learning and equilibrium theories. Either EWA Lite or parameterized EWA predict best, but one kind of reinforcement learning predicts well in games with mixed-strategy equilibrium. Belief learning models fit worst. The economic value of theories is measured by how much more subjects would have earned if they followed theory recommendations. EWA Lite and EWA add the most economic value in every game but one.

How much does a vote count? Voting power, coalitions, and the Electoral College
Creators: name: Gelman, Andrew
name: Katz, Jonathan N.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: coalition, decisive vote, electoral college, popular vote, voting power

description: In an election, the probability that a single voter is decisive is affected by the electoral system—that is, the rule for aggregating votes into a single outcome. Under the assumption that all votes are equally likely (i.e., random voting), we prove that the average probability of a vote being decisive is maximized under a popular-vote (or simple majority) rule and is lower under any coalition system, such as the U.S. Electoral College system, no matter how complicated. Forming a coalition increases the decisive vote probability for the voters within a coalition, but the aggregate effect of coalitions is to decrease the average decisiveness of the population of voters. We then review results on voting power in an electoral college system. Under the random voting assumption, it is well known that the voters with the highest probability of decisiveness are those in large states. However, we show using empirical estimates of the closeness of historical U.S. Presidential elections that voters in small states have been advantaged because the random voting model overestimates the frequencies of close elections in the larger states. Finally, we estimate the average probability of decisiveness for all U.S. Presidential elections from 1960 to 2000 under three possible electoral systems: popular vote, electoral vote, and winner-take-all within Congressional districts. We find that the average probability of decisiveness is about the same under all three systems.

A Bayesian Unobservable/Observable Source Separation Model and Activation Determination in fMRI
Creators: name: Rowe, Daniel B.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: Bayesian latent variable model, functional magnetic resonance imaging, neuroimaging activation

description: In functional magnetic resonance imaging, the most important question to be answered is that of deciding which statistical method to use in analyzing the data. The statistical analysis is the most crucial task because it determines the statistical activations which are interpreted. In computing the activation level, a standard method is to select assumed to be known reference functions and perform a multiple regression of the time courses on them and a linear trend. In performing the multiple regression, t to F statistics are computed in each voxel then they are colored accordingly. But the most important question is: How do we choose the  reference functions? Several different functions have been suggested. This paper, based on Bayesian source separation, determines the underlying source reference functions by instead assuming they are known, assessing a prior distribution for them along with the other parameters and determining them statistically. Both Gibbs sampling and iterated conditional modes algorithms are used to determine marginal posterior mean and joint maximum a posteriori values of the parameters along with statistical activation levels. It was found that the underlying response can be statistically determined and that the iterated conditional modes algorithm performed better than Gibbs sampling.

Fair Kidney Allocation Based on Waiting Time
Creators: name: Hild, Matthias
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001
Subjects: fairness, health care economics, kidney allocation, social choice

description: We study the allocation of cadaveric donor kidneys for transplantation based merely on waiting time. Despite the first impression, this simple allocation rule turns out to possess very attractive ethical and medical properties. Current allocation rules do not consider criteria such as sex, age and race perhaps for fear of morally unacceptable allocations, although certain combinations of these criteria are known to affect graft survival rates. We demonstrate that allocation by waiting time automatically protects disadvantaged patient types and puts them in a near to optimal position. The inclusion of sex, age and race will therefore not lead to morally unacceptable allocations. This allows individual patients to improve the expected survival time of their graft relative to the status quo without being penalized by the allocation rule. Moreover, decisions about when to start compromising on expected graft survival rates in favour of shorter waiting times are made locally by patients and their medical advisers rather than by a centralized protocol.

A Model for Bayesian Source Separation with the Overall Mean
Creators: name: Rowe, Daniel B.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2001

description: Typically in source separation models the overall mean as well as the mean of the sources are assumed to be zero. This paper assumes a nonzero overall mean and a nonzero source mean, quantifies available prior knowledge regarding them and other parameters. This prior knowledge is incorporated into the inferences along with the current data in the Bayesian approach to source separation. Vague, conjugate normal, and generalized conjugate normal distributions are used to quantify knowledge for the overall mean vector. Algorithms for estimating the parameters of the model from the joint posterior distribution are derived and determined statistically from the posterior distribution using both Gibbs sampling a Markov chain Monte Carlo method and the iterated conditional modes algorithm a deterministic optimization technique for marginal mean and maximum a posterior estimates respectively. This is a methodological paper which outlines the model without the use of a numerical example.
