Estimating Long Run Relationships in Economics: A Comparison of Different Approaches

Year: 1991
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: One of the benefits of the Engle and Granger (1987) two-step procedure for modelling the relationship between cointegrated variables is that the "long run equilibrium" relationship can be estimated consistently by a straighforward OLS regression involving the levels of the variables. Test statistics with appropriate asymptotic distributions can also be computed fairly easily by applying the modifications of Park and Phillips (1988). However, the omission of dynamics may well be detrimental to the performance of the estimator in finite samples. In this paper we use a Monte Carlo study to compare various estimators of the long run parameters. It is found that estimates which include the dynamics are much more reliable, even if the dynamic structure is overspecified. Furthermore, even though t statistics based on Park and Phillips' fully modified estimator are asymptotically valid, they do not have good finite sample properties. In contrast, the sizes of t tests based on an estimator which does make use of dynamics are very reliable.

description: For the ATLAS Pixel Detector fast readout electronics has been successfully developed and tested. Main attention was given to the ability to detect small charges in the order of 5,000 electrons within 25 ns in the harsh radiation environment of LHC together with the challenge to cope with the huge amount of data generated by the 80 millions channels of the Pixel detector. For the integration of the 50 micron pitch hybrid pixel detector reliable bump bonding techniques using either lead-tin or indium bumps has been developed and has been successfully tested for large scale production.

Wind-Wind Collision in the eta Carinae Binary System: a Shell-Like Event Near Periastron

description: The exact nature of eta Carinae is still an open issue. In this paper we assume a binary system to explain the strong X-ray emission, but we also take into account that, near periastron and because of the highly eccentric orbit, the wind emerging from eta Carinae accumulates behind the shock and can mimic a shell-like ejection event. For this process to be effective, at periastron the secondary star should be located between eta Carinae and the observer, solving also the discrepancy between the orbital parameters derived from ground and space based observations. We show that, as the secondary moves in its orbit, the shell cools down and the number of available stellar ionizing photons is not enough to maintain the shell temperature at its equilibrium value of about 7500 K. The central part of the shell remains cold and under these conditions grain formation and growth can take place in timescales of hours. Using recently published HST data for the optical and UV continuum during the 2003 shell event, we estimated that a fraction of 0.01 of the interstellar dust to H ratio is enough to explain the observations. We also calculated the neutral gas column density intercepting the line of sight at each point of the orbit near periastron, and were able to reproduce the form and duration of the X-ray light curve without any change in the eta Carinae mass loss rate. This same column density can explain the observed H$α$ light curve observed during the 2003 event.

description: It is shown that an exact solution of the transient dynamics of an associative memory model storing an infinite number of limit cycles with l finite steps by means of the path-integral analysis. Assuming the Maxwell construction ansatz, we have succeeded in deriving the stationary state equations of the order parameters from the macroscopic recursive equations with respect to the finite-step sequence processing model which has retarded self-interactions. We have also derived the stationary state equations by means of the signal-to-noise analysis (SCSNA). The signal-to-noise analysis must assume that crosstalk noise of an input to spins obeys a Gaussian distribution. On the other hand, the path-integral method does not require such a Gaussian approximation of crosstalk noise. We have found that both the signal-to-noise analysis and the path-integral analysis give the completely same result with respect to the stationary state in the case where the dynamics is deterministic, when we assume the Maxwell construction ansatz. We have shown the dependence of storage capacity (alpha_c) on the number of patterns per one limit cycle (l). Storage capacity monotonously increases with the number of steps, and converges to alpha_c=0.269 at l ~= 10. The original properties of the finite-step sequence processing model appear as long as the number of steps of the limit cycle has order l=O(1).

description: Feature warping is a core technique in optical flow estimation; however, the ambiguity caused by occluded areas during warping is a major problem that remains unsolved. In this paper, we propose an asymmetric occlusion-aware feature matching module, which can learn a rough occlusion mask that filters useless (occluded) areas immediately after feature warping without any explicit supervision. The proposed module can be easily integrated into end-to-end network architectures and enjoys performance gains while introducing negligible computational cost. The learned occlusion mask can be further fed into a subsequent network cascade with dual feature pyramids with which we achieve state-of-the-art performance. At the time of submission, our method, called MaskFlownet, surpasses all published optical flow methods on the MPI Sintel, KITTI 2012 and 2015 benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/microsoft/MaskFlownet.

Two-particle propagator and magnetic susceptibility in the Hubbard model- An improved treatment

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We treat the two-particle Green's function in the Hubbard model using the recently developed tau-CPA, a hybrid treatment that applies the coherent-potential approximation (CPA) up to a time tau related to the inverse of the band width, after which the system is averaged using the virtual-crystal approximation (VCA). This model, with suitable approximations, does predict magnetism for a modified Stoner criterion. The evaluation of the two-particle propagator in the tau-CPA requires the solution of the pure CPA, within whose formalism the vertex correction and the weighted Green's functions are obtained. The dynamical susceptibility, including the vertex correction and the weighted scattering by the residual interaction, is calculated and shows a spin wave spectrum in the ferromagnetic regime.

description: Fractional Calculus gives a generalisation of the common techniques of integration and differentiation. Although the origin of Fractional Calculus lies more than 150 years behind us, it is still quite unknown. Recently however, Phillips (1984,1985) used fractional calculus to derive the distributions of the Stein-Rule and SUB estimator and Knight (1986b) used it to find the moments of the 2SLS estimator. This paper gives an introduction to fractional calculus by showing the ideas behind the definitions, giving examples and some applications. At the end an attempt is made to show the relevance of this calculus for the different fields of Econometrics and to put it in a more general mathematical perspective.
Excitation and charge transfer in low-energy hydrogen atom collisions with neutral manganese and titanium

description: Data for inelastic processes due to hydrogen atom collisions with manganese and titanium are needed for accurate modeling of the corresponding spectra in late-type stars. In this work excitation and charge transfer in low-energy Mn+H and Ti+H collisions have been studied theoretically using a method based on an asymptotic two-electron linear combination of an atomic orbitals model of ionic-covalent interactions in the neutral atom-hydrogen-atom system, together with the multichannel Landau-Zener model to treat the dynamics. Extensive calculations of charge transfer (mutual neutralization, ion-pair production), excitation and de-excitation processes in the two collisional systems are carried out for all transitions between covalent states dissociating to energies below the first ionic limit and the dominating ionic states. Rate coefficients are determined for temperatures in the range 1000 - 20 000 K in steps of 1000 K. Like for earlier studies of other atomic species, charge transfer processes are found to lead to much larger rate coefficients than excitation processes.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study the non-equilibrium steady states in a closed system consisting of interacting particles obeying exclusion principle with quenched hopping rate. Cluster mean field approach is utilized to theoretically analyze the system dynamics in terms of phase diagram, density profiles, current, etc. with respect to interaction energy $E$. It turns out that on increasing the interaction energy beyond a critical value, $E_c$, shock region shows non-monotonic behavior and contracts until another critical value $E_{c_1}$ is attained; a further increase leads to its expansion. Moreover, the phase diagram of an interacting system with specific set of parameters has a good agreement with its non-interacting analogue. For interaction energy below $E_c$, a new shock phase displaying features different from non-interacting version is observed leading to two distinct shock phases. We have also performed Monte Carlo simulations extensively to validate our theoretical findings.

description: Absorption imaging is the most common probing technique in experiments with ultracold atoms. The standard procedure involves the division of two frames acquired at successive exposures, one with the atomic absorption signal and one without. A well-known problem is the presence of residual structured noise in the final image, due to small differences between the imaging light in the two exposures. Here we solve this problem by performing absorption imaging with only a single exposure, where instead of a second exposure the reference frame is generated by an unsupervised image-completion autoencoder neural network. The network is trained on images without absorption signal such that it can infer the noise overlaying the atomic signal based only on the information in the region encircling the signal. We demonstrate our approach on data captured with a quantum degenerate Fermi gas. The average residual noise in the resulting images is below that of the standard double-shot technique. Our method simplifies the experimental sequence, reduces the hardware requirements, and can improve the accuracy of extracted physical observables. The trained network and its generating scripts are available as an open-source repository (http://absDL.github.io/).

 Description. Translation of Pic (1932): Somewhat elongate, shining, pronotum testaceous with three green vittae, extensively and densely punctate; scutellum black; elytra in many individuals with scattered green maculae, strongly and externally tricostate Total length 10 mm.
 This species differs from A. basilica Thomson by the regular punctation of the pronotum on each side and the elytra with a distinct vitta on the lateral margin, a nearly square humeral macula, followed by two short lines arranged obliquely, a somewhat elongate macula and postmedial disc, followed by a short line presutural an irregular subtransverse macula before apex, these greenish-black.
 Discussion. The type of this species could not be located in the M. Pic collection in the MNHN (A. Mantilleri, per. com.). I have been unable to locate determined specimens of this species or any specimens fitting this description and the original description is too superficial to determine the placement of the species. Until the type is located, the species should be treated as incertae sedis (ICZN 1999, Art. 67.2.5).

Entanglement criterion for pure $M\otimes N$ bipartite quantum states

description: We propose a entanglement measure for pure $M \otimes N$ bipartite quantum states. We obtain the measure by generalizing the equivalent measure for a $2 \otimes 2$ system, via a $2 \otimes 3$ system, to the general bipartite case. The measure emphasizes the role Bell states have, both for forming the measure, and for experimentally measuring the entanglement. The form of the measure is similar to generalized concurrence. In the case of $2 \otimes 3$ systems, we prove that our measure, that is directly measurable, equals the concurrence. It is also shown that in order to measure the entanglement, it is sufficient to measure the projections of the state onto a maximum of $M(M-1)N(N-1)/2$ Bell states.

description: We analyze two pulse-coupled resonate-and-fire neurons. Numerical simulation reveals that an anti-phase state is an attractor of this model. We can analytically explain the stability of anti-phase states by means of a return map of firing times, which we propose in this paper. The resultant stability condition turns out to be quite simple. The phase diagram based on our theory shows that there are two types of anti-phase states. One of these cannot be seen in coupled integrate-and-fire models and is peculiar to resonate-and-fire models. The results of our theory coincide with those of numerical simulations.

description: Serious alternatives to the AR(1) disturbance model in econometric applications of linear regression include MA(1) disturbances and the sum of independent white noise and AR(1) disturbance components. All three are special cases of ARMA(1,1) processes. This paper reports an empirical power comparison of tests for AR(1), MA(1) and ARMA(1,1) disturbances assuming ARMA(1,1) disturbances. Tests compared include the Durbin-Watson test, the locally best invariant test and various point optimal invariant (POI) tests. The results suggest that the power of the POI test is largely invariant to the choice of AR(1) parameter value at which power is maximized. This conclusion is strengthened by a theoretical result.

description: The problem of computing estimates of the state vector in a non-stationary dynamic linear model is considered. Such estimates cannot be obtained with the usual Kalman filter because it fails, on finite precision computing machines, when seeded with the infinite variances associated with the required diffuse or partially diffuse prior probability distribution. The response in the literature has been the development of a number of relatively complex hybrid filters specifically designed to avoid the problem. However, it is argued in this paper that this response has been largely unwarranted. Rather, it is established that any square root implementation of the Kalman filter is capable of producing satisfactory results, so long as the required triangular orthogonalisation calculations are undertaken with standard fast Givens transformations, rather than the more usual Householder or Gram-Schmidt procedures.

description: Solar systems based on the coupling of parabolic concentrating collectors and thermal engines (i.e. dish-Stirling systems) are among the most efficient generators of solar power currently available. This study focuses on the modelling of functioning data from a 32 kWe dish-Stirling solar plant installed at a facility test site on the University of Palermo campus, in Southern Italy. The proposed model, based on real monitored data, the energy balance of the collector and the partial load efficiency of the Stirling engine, can be used easily to simulate the annual energy production of such systems, making use of the solar radiation database, with the aim of encouraging a greater commercialisation of this technology. Introducing further simplifying assumptions based on our experimental data, the model can be linearised providing a new analytical expression of the parameters that characterise the widely used Stine empirical model. The model was calibrated against data corresponding to the collector with clean mirrors and used to predict the net electric production of the dish-Stirling accurately. A numerical method for assessing the daily level of mirror soiling without the use of direct reflectivity measures was also defined. The proposed methodology was used to evaluate the history of mirror soiling for the observation period, which shows a strong correlation with the recorded sequence of rains and dust depositions. The results of this study emphasise how desert dust transport events, frequent occurrences in parts of the Mediterranean, can have a dramatic impact on the electric power generation of dish-Stirling plants.

title: Distance Learners' Conceptions of Reflection in Higher Education
Creators: name: Alden, Bethany

description: Frameworks for reflective learning have developed over the past 40 years as researchers and practitioners have sought to enhance the learning journey. Some of these models include reflection as a necessary stage in the process of transforming experience into knowledge. Other models intimate that reflective activity happens at higher stages of competency. Some adult learners may have encountered reflective activities and theories in their workplaces as part of personal development planning or on previous educational courses in meeting a particular learning outcome. But, how do tertiary distance learners, who often have varied employment and educational backgrounds, relate to the notion of reflection? This thesis employed a phenomenographic approach to identify the ways in which distance learners at the UK’s Open University conceptualise reflection. The first phase of this research collected data through the use of an open-ended questionnaire to explore the different ways in which distance learners conceptualise reflection. A second phase involved three longitudinal case studies of level 1 undergraduate students. This study investigated the extent to which distance learners’ conceptions of reflection change during their university experience. A final study explored distance learners’ conceptions of reflection on a postgraduate professional development module. This third study attempted to determine whether distance learners with more experience of higher education hold different conceptions of reflection than distance learners with less university experience. Findings from this thesis offer a set of seven qualitatively different conceptions of reflection held by tertiary distance learners. Owing to certain individual and institutional factors, distance learners’ conceptions of reflection often change during their higher education experience. While literature suggests that distance learners with more experience of higher education may hold more sophisticated conceptions of reflection, their ability to articulate these conceptions may be restricted because of tacit knowledge. Conclusions from this thesis have pedagogical implications for distance learning providers in terms of how reflective learning components are embedded in the curriculum. Distance educators will benefit from a growing understanding of students’ conceptions of reflection in considering how facilitative strategies can promote learning and epistemological development through reflection. Finally, the findings of this study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge related to reflection and development in higher education.

description: In order to obtain information about the internal structure of the preformed pairs in the pseudogap state of high $T_c$ superconductors, we calculate the propagator of a singlet pair with center of mass coordinate $\mathbf{r}$, and relative distance $\pmbρ$, by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation, representing the sum over repeated two-particle scattering events due to a distance dependent attraction. We define then a ``pair structure function'' $g_{P}(\mathbf{P},\pmbρ) $ that depends on the internal distance $\pmbρ$ between the partners and on the momentum $\mathbf{P}$ of the pair. We calculate this function both for a local potential and $s-$wave symmetry of the order parameter and for a separable potential and $d-$wave symmetry of the order parameter. The influence of the center of mass momentum, strenght of the interaction, temperature, density of particles and of the pseudogap in the one-electron spectrum is studied for both cases.

description: There are few things that so clearly connect us to the environment as food, or illustrate how overtly dependant we are on the plant for our survival. Examining how our food is produced is at the core uniting many of the global issues relating to our misuse of land, energy and other resources – and with a modest amount of thought and effort about the food selections we make, we have the potential to make strides towards resolving climate-related problems each time we pick up a fork. Initially, it may seem like changing one’s eating habits is a strange way to approach preventing climate change, however, it is known that our food system is a significant contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, educating ourselves about climate-friendly food choices is an essential step towards becoming empowered eaters who are able to effect change. As a first attempt to increasing public awareness about the relationship that exists between food choices and climate change, our group was assigned the task of developing an educational campaign to be used at The UBC Farm. The main purpose of this initiative is to encourage patrons at the Saturday Farmer’s Market to adopt a more sustainable approach to food-shopping and eating by exposing them to one or more of three complementary marketing tools: 1. a “Carbon Smart Food Guide” containing general information and guiding principles on how to become a carbon smart consumer 2. an on-line publication aimed at providing those interested with more detailed information than that presented in the food guide 3. a carbon smart logo to be used as a part of a visual display at food stands so that shoppers are able to quickly and clearly identify carbon smart items It is our goal that, collectively, this campaign will help climate-concerned consumers be more successful at navigating the food system, thereby having a positive impact on our community, and our environment.

description: We calculate electromagnetic mass difference of mesons using a method proposed by Duncan {\it et al}. The RG-improved gauge action and the non-compact Abelian gauge action are employed to generate configurations. Quark propagators in the range of $m_{PS}/m_{V}=0.76-0.51$ are obtained with the meanfield-improved clover quark action. Chiral and continuum extrapolations are performed and the results are compared with experiments. Finite size effects are also examined. Quark masses are extracted from the measured spectrum. Our preliminary values for light quark masses are $m_{u}^{\bar{MS}}(μ=2 {GeV}) = 3.03(19)$ MeV, $m_{d}^{\bar{MS}}(μ= 2 {GeV}) = 4.44(28)$ MeV, $m_{s}^{\bar{MS}}(μ= 2 {GeV}) = 99.2(52)$ MeV.

description: Interval arithmetic libraries provide the four elementary arithmetic operators for operand intervals bounded by floating-point numbers. Actual implementations need to make a large case analysis that considers, e.g., magnitude relations between all pairs of argument bounds, positional relations between the arguments and zero, and handling of the special values, infinities and NaN. Their correctness is not obvious as they are implemented by human hands, which comes to be critical for the reliability. This work provides a mechanically-verified interval arithmetic library. For this purpose, we utilize the Why3 platform equipped with a specification language for annotated programs and back-end theorem provers. We conduct several proof tasks for each of three properties of the target code: validity, soundness, and tightness; zero division exception handling is also verified for the division code. To accomplish the proof, we propose several techniques for specification/verification. First, we specify additional lemmas that support deductions made by back-end SMT solvers, which enable to discharge proof obligations in floating-point arithmetic containing nonlinear terms. Second, we examine the annotation of tightness, which requires to assume that a computation may result in NaN; we propose specific extremum operators for this purpose. In the experiments, applying the techniques in conjunction with the Alt-Ergo SMT solver and the Coq proof assistant proved the entire code.

description: In the unidimensional unfolding model, given m objects in general position there arise 1+m(m-1)/2 rankings. The set of rankings is called the ranking pattern of the m given objects. By changing these m objects, we can generate various ranking patterns. It is natural to ask how many ranking patterns can be generated and what is the probability of each ranking pattern when the objects are randomly chosen? These problems are studied by introducing a new type of arrangement called mid-hyperplane arrangement and by counting cells in its complement.
