傳統工業升級計畫評估的統計分析 / Statistical analysis on the evalution of a conventional industries upgrading program

張仲翔, Chang, Chung Hsiung Unknown Date (has links)
工業的發達與否代表一個國家國力的強弱,故欲使我國達已開發國家之林,提昇整個工業或產業的升級,已經是刻不容緩的事。近年來,政府致力於發展新的高科技產業,同時,對於傳統工業也以獎勵或鼓勵技術升級的方式,以提昇整體產業競爭力。其中包含了所謂"傳統工業技術升級計畫"。   所以,本文欲藉助對數線型模式,針對"傳統工業技術升級計畫",來建構及解釋一些模式,並提出建議,以期傳統工業升級計畫,能更符合每個產業的要求。 / Modernization of Industry represents the powerfulness of a country. It'surgent to upgrade the inndustry, so that our country become a developed country.The government has been making every effort on new hi-tech industries lately, at the same time, the government also provide different incentives to upgradethe tradional industries. This way would increase the competitiveness of ourone of the incentives is that the government provided the so called "Conventionalindustries upgrading program"   In this paper, we use loglinear models to analyze the data given by those companies that participated "Conventional industries upgrading program". Based on the models, we shall make some suggestions and conclusions.

A game theoretic analysis of adaptive radar jamming

Bachmann, Darren John Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
Advances in digital signal processing (DSP) and computing technology have resulted in the emergence of increasingly adaptive radar systems. It is clear that the Electronic Attack (EA), or jamming, of such radar systems is expected to become a more difficult task. The reason for this research was to address the issue of jamming adaptive radar systems. This required consideration of adaptive jamming systems and the development of a methodology for outlining the features of such a system is proposed as the key contribution of this thesis. For the first time, game-based optimization methods have been applied to a maritime counter-surveillance/counter-targeting scenario involving conventional, as well as so-called ‘smart’ noise jamming.Conventional noise jamming methods feature prominently in the origins of radar electronic warfare, and are still widely implemented. They have been well studied, and are important for comparisons with coherent jamming techniques.Moreover, noise jamming is more readily applied with limited information support and is therefore germane to the problem of jamming adaptive radars; during theearly stages when the jammer tries to learn about the radar’s parameters and its own optimal actions.A radar and a jammer were considered as informed opponents ‘playing’ in a non-cooperative two-player, zero-sum game. The effects of jamming on the target detection performance of a radar using Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR)processing were analyzed using a game theoretic approach for three cases: (1) Ungated Range Noise (URN), (2) Range-Gated Noise (RGN) and (3) False-Target (FT) jamming.Assuming a Swerling type II target in the presence of Rayleigh-distributed clutter, utility functions were described for Cell-Averaging (CA) and Order Statistic (OS) CFAR processors and the three cases of jamming. The analyses included optimizations of these utility functions, subject to certain constraints, with respectto control variables (strategies) in the jammer, such as jammer power and spatial extent of jamming, and control variables in the radar, such as threshold parameter and reference window size. The utility functions were evaluated over the players’ strategy sets and the resulting matrix-form games were solved for the optimal or ‘best response’ strategies of both the jammer and the radar.

Proximity to Potential Sources and Mountain Cold-trapping of Semi-volatile Organic Contaminants

Westgate, John Norman 13 August 2013 (has links)
If sufficiently persistent, semi-volatile organic contaminants (SVOCs) can travel long distances through the atmosphere from their points of release and become concentrated in cold, remote regions. As air is sampled for SVOCs to establish both their presence and the success of emission reduction efforts, it becomes helpful to determine sampling site proximity to sources and the origin of the sampled air masses. Comparing three increasingly sophisticated methods for quantifying source proximity of sampling locations, it was judged necessary to account for the actual history of the sampled air through construction of an airshed, especially if wind is highly directional and population distribution is very non-uniform. The airshed concept was improved upon by introducing a ‘geodesic’ grid of equally spaced cells, rather than a simple latitude/longitude grid, to avoid distortion near Earth’s poles and to allow for the comparison of airshed shapes. Assuming that a perfectly round airshed reveals no information about sources allows the significance of each cell of an airshed to be judged based on its departure from roundness. Combining air-mass histories with a 2 year-long series of SVOC air concentrations at Little Fox Lake in Canada’s Yukon Territory did not identify distinct source regions for most analytes, although γ-hexachlorocyclohexane appears to originate broadly in north-eastern Russia and/or Alaska. Based on this remoteness from sources, the site is judged to be well suited to monitor changes in the hemispheric background concentrations of SVOCs. A model-based exploration revealed wet-gaseous deposition as the dominant process responsible for cold-trapping SVOCs in mountain soils. Such cold trapping is particularly effective if precipitation rate increases with altitude and if temperature differences along the mountain are large. Considerable sensitivity of the modeled extent of cold-trapping to parameters as diverse as scale, mean temperature, atmospheric particle concentration and time relative to emission maxima is consistent with the wide variety of observed enrichment behaviour. Concentration gradients of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls in air and soil measured on four Western Canadian mountains with variable distance from sources revealed source proximity as the main driver of concentrations at both the whole-mountain scale and along individual mountain transects.

Die Bürger Dresdens und ihre Städtische Bibliothek

Becker, Antje 15 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Im letzten Jahr wendete sich die Stadt Dresden nach dem Zufallsprinzip an ihre Einwohner, mit der Bitte, zwei Fragebögen auszufüllen. Deren Fragen richteten sich hauptsächlich auf die Lebensbedingungen am Wohnort. Die Datenerfassung für die eingegangenen Fragebögen endete im Dezember 2010. Es konnten 4.534 Fragebögen ausgewertet werden. Die rücklaufquote lag bei 46 % und ist damit die zweitbeste in der Geschichte der kommunalen Bürgerumfragen Dresdens. Wie bereits in Kommunalen Bürgerumfragen zurückliegender Jahre, insbesondere 2007, gibt die Kommunale Bürgerumfrage 2010 erneut Gelegenheit dazu, interessante Aspekte der Nutzung der Städtischen Bibliotheken, im Vergleich zu anderen kulturellen Einrichtungen Dresdens, zu hinterfragen.

A comparative study of permutation procedures

Van Heerden, Liske 30 November 1994 (has links)
The unique problems encountered when analyzing weather data sets - that is, measurements taken while conducting a meteorological experiment- have forced statisticians to reconsider the conventional analysis methods and investigate permutation test procedures. The problems encountered when analyzing weather data sets are simulated for a Monte Carlo study, and the results of the parametric and permutation t-tests are compared with regard to significance level, power, and the average coilfidence interval length. Seven population distributions are considered - three are variations of the normal distribution, and the others the gamma, the lognormal, the rectangular and empirical distributions. The normal distribution contaminated with zero measurements is also simulated. In those simulated situations in which the variances are unequal, the permutation test procedure was performed using other test statistics, namely the Scheffe, Welch and Behrens-Fisher test statistics. / Mathematical Sciences / M.

In observable data set that occur excess of zeros, its common to have sobredispersion. In this sense, the models zero-inflated power series (ZISP) were proposed to accommodate these excesses. Specifically for the analysis of observed data, it was made a study of gradient statistic, proposed by Terrell (2002), to test the hypotheses in relation to inflation parameter ZISP models. This test is based on evaluation of the performance of gradient statistic compared with the classical likelihood ratio (Wilks, 1938), score (Rao, 1948) and Wald (Wald, 1943) statistics. In addition, recently, fragility has being modeled by discrete distributions using non-negative integers values that allows zero fragility, which means, individuals who do not present the event of interest (fraction of zero risk). For this type of latent data, we have proposed a new survival model induced by discrete frailty with ZISP distribution. This proposal brings a real description of individuals without risk, because individuals cured due to genetic factors (immune) are modeled by fraction of deterministic zero risk, while the cured by treatment are modeled by fraction of random zero risk. In this context, we also developed the gradient statistic to verify parameter significance of zero risk for data modeled by fraction of deterministic zero risk. To show our proposals, we present the results of simulation studies and applications using real data. / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal, estudar a significância de zeros numa análise de dados observáveis e latentes. Nos conjuntos de dados observáveis que ocorrem excessos de zeros, é comum a existência de sobredispersão. Neste sentido os modelos Zero-Inflacionados Série de Potência (ZISP) foram propostos para acomodar o excesso de zeros. Especifcamente para a análise de dados observáveis com excesso de zeros desenvolvemos um estudo da estatística gradiente, proposta por Terrell (2002), para testar as hipóteses em relação ao parâmetro de inflação do modelo ZISP, baseado na avaliação da performance da estatística gradiente em comparação com as estatísticas clássicas da razão de verossimilhan ça (Wilks, 1938), escore (Rao, 1948) e Wald (Wald, 1943). Por outro lado, recentemente a fragilidade é modelada por distribuições discretas sob os inteiros não negativos e permite fragilidade zero, isto é, indivíduos que não apresentam o evento de interesse (fração de risco zero). Para este tipo dados de latentes, propusemos um novo modelo de sobrevivência induzida por fragilidade discreta com distribuição ZISP. Essa proposta traz uma descrição mais real dos indivíduos sem risco, pois inclui indivíduos curados devido aos fatores genéticos (imunes) modelados como a fração de risco zero determinístico, enquanto que, os indivíduos curados por tratamento são modelados pela fração de risco zero aleatório. Neste contexto desenvolvemos também a estatística gradiente para verificar a significância do parâmetro de risco zero para dados modelados pela fração de risco zero determinístico. E para completar o desenvolvimento das propostas, apresentamos os resultados de estudos de simulação e exemplos de aplicação com uso de dados reais.
