Which Wald statistic? Choosing a parameterization of the Wald statistic to maximize power in k-sample generalized estimating equations
Creators: name: Warton, David
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2007
Subjects: power simulation
canonical parameterization
log-likelihood ratio statistic
score statistic
skewness-reducing parameterization
variance-stabilizing parameterization

description: The Wald statistic is known to vary under reparameterization. This raises the question: which parameterization should be chosen, in order to optimize power of the Wald statistic? We specifically consider k-sample tests of generalized linear models and generalized estimating equations in which the alternative hypothesis contains only two parameters. Amongst a general class of parameterizations, we find the parameterization that maximizes power via analysis of the non-centrality parameter, and show how the effect on power of reparameterization depends on sampling design and the differences in variance across samples. There is no single parameterization with optimal power across all alternatives. The Wald statistic commonly used, that under the canonical parameterization, is optimal in some instances but it performs very poorly in others. We demonstrate results by example and by simulation, and describe their implications for likelihood ratio statistics and score statistics. We conclude that due to poor power properties, the routine use of score statistics and Wald statistics under the canonical parameterization for generalized estimating equations is a questionable practice.

description: Wireless systems contain transmitters and receivers in order to exchange information. In the past decades, this exchange of information was conducted with the us e of only one modulated carrier (frequency). As wireless technology evolved, new techniques emerged. One of them was unique for its capability of significant lower data loss compared to others. The main concept of the new technique, commonly known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, was the utilization of various orthogonal carriers (frequencies) which were multiplexed with each other in order to prevent system breakdown in the case of frequency fading. In this paper we simulated our enhanced OFDM platform based on Turbo Coding (TC) in the presence of a noisy channel (AWGN, Phase noise, Rician noise, ITU PA3) exhibiting excellent BER performance.

description: While galaxy clusters are dominated by quiescent galaxies at local, they show a wide range in quiescent galaxy fraction (QF) at higher redshifts. Here, we present the discovery of two galaxy clusters at $z \sim 0.95$ with contrasting QFs despite having similar masses (log ($M_{200}/M_{\odot}$)$ \sim 14$) and spectra and redshifts of 29 galaxies in these clusters and 76 galaxies in the surrounding area. The clusters are found in the Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field and confirmed through multi-object spectroscopic (MOS) observation using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph (IMACS) on the Magellan telescope. The two clusters exhibit QFs of $0.094^{+0.11}_{-0.032}$ and $0.38^{+0.14}_{-0.11}$, respectively. Analysis of large-scale structures (LSSs) surrounding these clusters finds that properties of these clusters are consistent with the anti-correlation trend between the QF and the extent of surrounding LSS, found in Lee et al. (2019), which can be interpreted as a result from the replenishment of young, star-forming galaxies keeps the QF low when galaxy clusters are accompanied by rich surrounding environments.

description: Fluctuations are fundamental for living organisms. They arguably result from interactions with the complex, and unpredictable environment, and can often be manifested as temporal variability. Let us consider the smallest representative of living organisms, the cell. It must continually resist the external perturbations, such as variations in the electrochemical gradient induced by changes in the extracellular ionic concentrations. To avoid the rise in osmotic pressure, that drives the water into the cell and could result in the cell bursting, the cell carefully adjusts the concentration of permeable ions. Those continuous adjustments can be achieved only through a highly specialised network of membrane transporters, both passive, ion channels, and active, ion pumps. The collective activity of the membrane transporters is manifested in the dynamics of the membrane potential -- very often viewed as fluctuations, seemingly without a preference for any particular frequency band. The aim of the work presented here is to provide understanding and insight into the dynamics of the free-running membrane potential in non-excitable cells, based on experimental data from Jurkat and smooth muscle cells. In order to achieve this, first the quantitative comparisons of the average values of the membrane potential and their standard deviations recorded in various extracellular solutions are made. The analysis is further extended through the use of the wavelet transform to investigate the time and frequency components of the signal. This work is the first to report an intermittent oscillation in smooth muscle cell, around 0.008 Hz in the membrane potential recorded with the free-running voltage perforated whole-cell patch clamp method. Additional activities around frequencies of 0.03, 0.05 or 0.09 Hz can be also observed. These appear as intermittent behaviour. To further understand this dynamics from univariate time series, two methods were applied: wavelet-bispectrum and time-reversibility. The wavelet-bispectral density was developed. An appropriate normalisation for the wavelet bispectrum, that allows for a formal quantitative, not merely qualitative interpretation of the results of wavelet-bispectral analysis, was proposed. The practical aspects of the bispectral analysis were discussed using numerical examples. Finally, the newly developed auto-wavelet-bispectral analysis was applied to the recordings of the membrane potential. These indicated possible nonlinear couplings between different oscillatory modes in the cellular membrane potential.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The field of forward error correction was greatly influenced by the discovery of turbo codes. This invention led to a great improvement in terms of Bit-Error-Rate (BER). Various schemes have been proposed and are based either on parallel or serial designs of concatenated decoders. These decoders are iterative using SOVA (soft output viterbi) or MAP (maximum a posteriori) algorithms. They introduce superior recovery functions of data which have been transmitted through noisy environments. Actually, these turbo schemes compared to convolutional codes achieve better data recovery with the increase of the constraint length. Considering all previous principles, we designed a new parallel turbo encoder-decoder system. This system was compared to already existing serial and parallel turbo coding schemes and to a convolutional encoder. Performance level was verified through simulations including Additive White Guassian noise. BER analysis exhibited better results compared to all other designs for various numbers of iterations.

description: This paper studies the characteristics of an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication system employing Impulse Radio techniques and, specifically, the effects of the matched filter of a correlator receiver in the performance of such a system. Such effects are evaluated in terms of the Bit Error Rate (BER) for a Binary Pulse Position Modulation (BPPM) scheme, in an indoor multipath propagation channel and in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The case of imperfect channel estimation is taken into account, while comparisons with perfect channel estimation are performed. The dependence of BER on parameters such as the signal to noise ratio (SNR), the number of estimation pilot pulses and correletor taps, is finally derived. It is shown that there is an optimum number of correlator taps for best BER performance depending on the channel estimation procedure.

description: In this paper we perform experimental measurements targeting the UWB wireless channel. For this case we utilize Impulse Radio channel sounding techniques in time domain. The aim is to estimate the channel characteristics such as the path loss, the shadowing effect, the mean excess delay spread, the RMS delay spread and the number of dominant paths. In order to obtain the channel’s impulse response we utilize the CLEAN algorithm for the time-domain deconvolution technique. For the purpose of this experiment we generate very short UWB pulses by a proper transmitter and we study the propagation thought the wireless channel.

description: Measuring the pace and spatial distribution of gentrification is important to developing policies to mitigate its negative consequences. Typically, this is done through an analysis of census data on demographic, socioeconomic or housing change. However, this approach has numerous shortcomings, including the homogenizing effect on differences within neighbourhoods and the infrequency of census data collection. Visual analysis, particularly when examining multiple temporal views of the same location, has the potential to render visible fine-grained detail about spatial, economic and cultural changes within the urban landscape. Google Street View (GSV) is emerging as a source of repeat photography data. In this article, we employ a GSV analysis within a number of neighbourhoods in Hamilton, Ontario. Coding and analysing GSV images between 2009 and 2021 reveals an array of specific home upgrades, as well as aesthetic changes that reflect middle-class tastes, values and lifestyles that suggest more upgrading than found within conventional statistics or dominant narratives about the city. Mapping these changes paints a complex, and fine-grained, block-by-block picture of gentrification that reveals why some areas are more conducive to gentrification than others. Our analysis is important for critical visual methodologies, theoretical discussions about gentrification and neighbourhood change theories and debates within planning and policymaking.

description: Abstract: The concept of ‘social capital’ has met with huge success among governmental agencies, including governments at all levels and transnational entities such as the World Bank. And yet the concept has been subjected to a devastating critique. This paper investigates a number of reasons given in the literature for its popularity. It starts with a brief overview of the social policy context in Australia, where the social capital framework has been influential. It goes on to discuss some of the reasons for the framework’s popularity, both admiring, e.g. it broadens our understanding of community well-being beyond the economic, and critical, e.g. it ignores the power of (real) capital. The paper concludes by suggesting that 'social capital' continues to prevail, despite its dubious epistemological status, because it serves a useful ideological function for (real) capital.

description: As the retirement village sector has grown, it has also become increasingly diversified, offering services ranging from fully independent housing to nursing home care. In the context of policy change and debate about government financial support for aged care and accommodation, it is important to understand how retirement villages fit in to the wider picture. The Department of Social Security commissioned this study at the end of 1996, partly because there were some questions about whether policies on eligibility for Rent Assistance among retirement village residents had kept up with changes in the level and distribution of residents' housing costs, but also to provide an up-to-date information base for wider consultations about policy in this area.

Australian Attitudes to Unemployment and Unemployed People
Creators: name: Eardley, Tony
name: Matheson, George
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1999

description: Social security support for unemployed people in Australia in the last decade has become increasingly conditional on their demonstrating ever greater job search effort. Yet we know relatively little about whether this shift accords with public opinion. This paper draws on a study of community attitudes to unemployment and unemployed people, commissioned by the former Department of Social Security, based on review and analysis of attitudinal survey data. Overall the evidence is ambiguous. Although, by international standards, Australians take a relatively hard line on the responsibilities of unemployed people to actively seek work, there is little information available about views on the specifics of activity testing. Also, although a majority opposes greater public expenditure on unemployment, they still see an important role for government in addressing unemployment and supporting unemployed people.

description: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is vastly used in wireless networks. Its superiority relies on the fact that information can be split in large amount of frequencies. Each frequency is called information subcarrier. OFDM exhibits excellent annotation in channel fades and interferers as only a few subcarriers can be affected and consequently a small part of the original data stream can be lost. Orthogonality between frequencies ensures better spectrum management and obviates the danger of intersymbol interference. However, an essential problem exists. OFDM systems have high peak to average power ratio. This implies large fluctuations in signal power, ending up in increasing complexity of ADCs and DACs. Also, power amplifiers must work in a larger linear dynamic region. In this paper we present two new techniques for reducing Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR), that can be added in any OFDM system and we compare them with other existing schemes.

Subjects: subject: Climate Change
subject: Disaster risk
subject: Risk Assessment

description: Impact Chains are a conceptual model based on cause-effect chains that include all major factors and processes leading to specific climate risks. After being first developed by Eurac Research for climate risk assessments (CRAs) in the European Alps around 10 years ago, they have now been applied in almost twenty national climate risk assessments worldwide (e.g., Burundi, Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Madagascar).

This training session will go through the terminology and concepts of climate risk and CRA in general, which will be preparatory for understanding the concepts of the Impact Chains and how they are built. After a brief outlook on the current research directions in progress at Eurac Research, the event will conclude with a simple “hands-on” example of building a demonstrative Impact Chain for a simple CRA scenario.

description: This paper studies the characteristics of an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication system employing Impulse Radio techniques and, specifically, the effects of the matched filter of a correlator receiver in the performance of such a system. Such effects are evaluated in terms of the Bit Error Rate (BER) for a Binary Pulse Position Modulation (BPPM) scheme, in an indoor multipath propagation channel and in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The case of imperfect channel estimation is taken into account, while comparisons with perfect channel estimation are performed. The dependence of BER on parameters such as the signal to noise ratio (SNR), the number of estimation pilot pulses and correletor taps, is finally derived. It is shown that there is an optimum number of correlator taps for best BER performance depending on the channel estimation procedure.

description: In this paper we present and investigate the concept of a novel smart microstrip E-shaped patch antenna for 3G applications. The total radiated power and the overall gain performance of the proposed smart antenna is presented, analyzed and compared with the smart antennas consisted of rectangular patch. The smart antenna configuration for both cases is a linear array. In order to reduce the size of the antenna, which is incorporated into the backside of the handset, two antenna elements are considered with an inter-element spacing of a quarter wavelength (λ/4), while for the base station antenna system we used four microstrip E-shaped patch antenna elements. The computer simulation results confirm that the antenna has a gain bandwidth of 10% for VSWR≤4. Moreover, the return loss S11 at 2GHz of the proposed smart antenna system for mobile handsets is -20dB, a value that allows the E-shaped antenna to match easily to 50Ω source.
