多元自迴歸條件異質變異數之模型設定研究欉清全, Genius Tung Unknown Date (has links)
經濟理論明白揭示,在不確定下,金融性資產的選擇不僅要考慮其未來報
酬率的平均值,更需將風險程度納入決策過程中。而最佳風險測度為預測
誤差的變異數(Variance of Forec ast Error)。傳統實証方法均視變異
數為固定常數,實無法掌握變異數具有條件異質性的特點。為了到達此目
的,Engle(1982) 提出向量自迴歸條件異質變異數(ARCH)模型,此模型假
定條件變異數不再是固定常數而是過去干擾項平方的線型函數,為實証方
法上一項偉大的突破。在考慮多個變數的聯立動態體系中,由於跨方程式
間可以互相提供額外的訊息,往往可以增加估計的效率性,直覺上比單變
數的設定更能掌握資料的實際情形。故往後的學者便提出了多元自迴歸條
件異質變異數(Multivariate ARCH) 模型,此一模型亦有其缺點存在,因
其待估計參數過多,形成自由度嚴重減少,將導致估計值缺乏效率性。所
以如何利用可獲得的有限資料對模型進行更有效率的估計方式,此為研究
Multivaria te ARCH的重要課題。本文將對Multivariate ARCH做一系列
的介紹,並利用VAR 的貝氏方法對參數進行估計。而多元因素AR CH模型
也是探討的重點。

從作者與發明人的關係探討技術發展各階段論文與專利活動之關聯性──以電腦視覺領域之賈伯濾波器技術為例 / Discovering the Relationship between Publishing and Patenting Activities from the Relatedness of Authors and Inventors over the Life Cycles of Technological Development── Case Study of Gabor Filter in Computer Vision許舜棋, Hsu, Shun Chi Unknown Date (has links)
在技術快速變遷的環境中,如何迅速掌握與研發相關的情報以協助研發決策的制訂,已經成為企業重要的競爭優勢來源。近年來,由於電腦運算能力的快速提昇,使用電腦輔助企業自動、快速地從大量增加的科技資訊(特別是專利和論文)中淬取出攸關的資訊,就成為了近年來產業界和學術界積極研究的目標。
在眾多方法中,使用書目計量分析和專利分析方法是最引人注目的方法之一。使用書目計量分析和專利分析可以從龐大的論文和專利資訊中,快速瞭解科技發展的動態:包括瞭解科技發展的階段為何,熱門的科技領域為何,重要的作者和企業為何等等。然而,現階段的書目計量分析和專利分析雖然可以協助瞭解科技發展的全貌,對於科技發展下技術發明活動與科學研究活動的關聯性,以及不同的科技發展階段裡發明人和作者的動態關係,卻仍然缺少相關的研究。
因此,本研究提出以下三點研究問題:
1. 不同類型的論文作者和專利發明人的科學研究/技術發明活動,與技術發展階段的關聯性為何?
2. 發明作者的技術發明/科學研究活動與一般發明人或作者的差異為何?
3. 發明作者的技術發明活動與科學研究活動關係為何?
針對以上的研究問題,本研究首先通過回顧相關文獻以建立分析發明人和作者的研究架構,再蒐集專利和論文的資料並依照架構的需要處理資料,最後進行分析與討論以得到研究結論。
本研究主要獲得以下三點研究結論:
1. 天才發明人是技術發展處於萌芽期時專利發明的要角,而關鍵發明人大多在技術發展進入成長期時才投入專利發明。至於頂尖作者,則在技術發展的萌芽期、成長期和成熟期都是論文發表的要角。
2. 關鍵發明人有很高的機會是頂尖作者,而發明作者如果不是關鍵發明人,則其專利發明的表現有略高的機會較其他發明人更差。
3. 大部份發明作者的專利發明活動在論文發表活動之後;但是關鍵發明人則較傾向先申請專利,再發表主題高度相關的論文。 / Mining information to improve corporate R&D decision making had been an important source of competitive advantage in the rapid changing technological environment. Recently, extracting relevant information quickly and automatically from massive amount of technological data (especially patent and scientific publications) with the aide of computer had become an active research area for both industrial and academic researchers due to ever-growing computing power.
Among the methods of retrieving technological information, bibliometrics and patent analysis are two of the most attractive ones. Bibliometrics and patent analysis provide a quick way to capture the dynamics of technological development, including the stage of technological development, active technological research area and important researchers/corporates, etc. Although bibliometrics and patent analysis are helpful to understand the landscape of technological development, there still lacks researches about the relationship between scientific invention and research activities as well as the dynamics between patent inventors and publication authors along different stages of technological development.
Hence, this research raises the following questions:
1. What is the relation between scientific research/invention activities and technological development stages for different categories of publication authors and patent inventors?
2. What is the difference of scientific research/invention activities between Inventor-Authors and other inventors/authors?
3. What is the relation between scientific research and invention activities of Inventor-Authors?
This research reviews related researches to define a research framework connecting authors, inventors and technological development stages. Then patent and publication data are collected and processed based on the research framework. This research conclusion is made after analysis and discussion.
Conclusion of the research includes the followings:
1. "Talent Inventors" play important role when the technological development is in "Emerging" stage, and "Key Inventors" starts patent inventions after the technological development enters "Growth" stage. "Top Authors" play important role across "Emerging", "Growth" and "Maturity" stages of technological development.
2. "Key Inventors" are more probable to be also "Top Author". "Inventor-Authors" who are not "Key Inventors" are more probably to perform worse than other inventors.
3. Most "Inventor-Authors" apply for patents after papers of highly related topics are published. But "Key Inventors" tend to apply for patents before papers of highly related topics are published.

臺灣地區服務業就業趨勢之年齡、年代及世代分析郭雅雅 Unknown Date (has links)
隨著經濟發展與所得水準提升,臺灣地區就業人口由早期的第一級產業-農林漁牧業逐漸移向第二級產業-工業,再由第二級產業轉移至第三級產業-服務業。為瞭解臺灣地區服務業就業之趨勢,國內多數研究僅就蒐集資料以年齡、年代或世代三方面分別作探討,本文則改採流行病學領域中所廣泛使用之年齡-年代-世代模型(Age-Period-Cohort Model),就行政院主計處「人力資源調查」資料來作分析。但年齡、年代與世代三者間存在共線性問題(即世代=年代-年齡),導致迴歸模型產生無限多組解,為了自其中選出一組較適當之參數估計值,文獻中提供了許多不同形式的解決方法。本文則採用Fu(2000)所提出之本質估計量(Intrinsic Estimator,簡稱IE),這是一種不受參數限制式影響的估計方式。我們除了藉以取得惟一的參數估計值,進而分析年齡、年代及世代效應對服務業就業比率之影響外,並與傳統之受限廣義線性模型估計量(Constrained Generalized Linear Models Estimator,簡稱CGLIME)作一比較,來說明採用本質估計量之優點及方便之處。 / Along with economical development and higher income level, Taiwan area employed population has gradually been switching from farming, forestry, fishing and animal husbandry to goods-producing industries, and then onto services-producing industries. In order to understand the trend of employment in service-producing industries in Taiwan, most domestic studies focus on the aspects of age, period or cohort separately. We, instead, adopt the Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model, which is well recognized in the epidemiology, to analyze the data from “Manpower Surveys” conducted by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. in this study.
However, due to the collinearity among the age, period, and cohort effects, the APC model suffers from the identifiability problem. Some possible solutions have been provided in the literature. Among them, the Constrained Generalized Linear Models Estimator (CGIME) is undoubtedly the most popular choice, while the Intrinsic Estimator (IE) (Fu (2000)), which is invariant to the constraint selected to obtain the parameter estimates, is less well-known. We compare the results obtained from IE with that of CGIME in this study, and discuss the advantages of using the Intrinsic Estimator.
