    The author has dealt with amalgamation of pattern primitives and its justification in language description, in earlier studies [4] & [5]. Here an attempt is being made to apply distribution free techniques, more commonly known as non-parametric statistical methods in finding the confidence coefficient and adjustment factor for obtaining the standard form of words taken from different sub-dialects.Dhami, H.S..

    On The Comovement of REIT Prices

    Full text link
    This study examines the comovement of equity real estate investment trust (REIT) prices in both the vintage (1980–1991) and the new (1992–2004) REIT eras. The results indicate that the comovement of equity REIT prices within the same property type has strengthened during the new REIT era. The results also indicate that, all else being equal, a high institutional participation, a low insider ownership, and a large market capitalization are associated with a high within-property-type price synchronicity. The evidence is consistent with two notions: (1) that increasing participation by institutional investors in the new REIT era facilitates the pricing of property-type common information on firm-level prices, and (2) that REITs’ information openness to institutional investing plays a role in this strengthened pricing relationship.

    ) Jiawei Han, Sonny H.S. Chee and Jenny Y. Chiang Intelligent Database Systems Research Laboratory School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6 f han, schee, ychiang [email protected] URL: http://db.cs.sfu.ca/ Abstract Data warehouses and OLAP engines are expected to be widely available in the near future. The data in data warehouses has been cleansed, integrated, and preprocessed, and infrastructures have been built surrounding data warehouses for efficient data analysis. Therefore, data warehouses or OLAP databases are expected to be a major platform for data mining in the future. We discuss the issues related to efficient and effective data mining in large data warehouses and/or data marts, including the desired architectures for an integrated on-line analytical processing (OLAP) and on-line analytical mining (OLAM) system, the expected features of OLAM, and how to implement such a system effectively. 1 Introduction With recent developments..

    Metafore spaziali della conoscenza di sé nei dialoghi di H.S. Skovoroda : fonti patristiche

    Spatial Metaphors for Self-knowledge in the dialogues of H.S Skovoroda. Patristic Sources In this paper the Author analyzes some spatial metaphors informing H.S. Skovoroda’s representation of self-knowledge as a dynamic process. Knowledge of the true self – which is one of the recurring themes in the Ukrainian philosopher’s oeuvre – is often portrayed as tension between open (e.g. streets, markets, the sky, the planets…) and closed spaces (e.g. the house, the room), with the ‘home’ being a symbol for the soul. As man seeking communion with God has to abandon what lies outside his inner self, the authentic gnoseological process is represented as an introverted movement through symbolic space. Broadly speaking, this very opposition harks back to Philo of Alexandria and Patristic thought, whose anti-physicist stance shaped their rejection of the phenomenological world as an ‘interior vs. exterior’ contrast. Furthermore, the broader biblical context in which those spatial terms appear is also taken into account, while demonstrating Skovoroda’s partial dependence on Patristic models. The fi nal part of the paper argues that the scheme underlying Neo-platonic emanation – which is itself to be considered as an oscillation between unity and dispersion – appears to be a symbolic model for Skovoroda’s spatial representation of self-knowledge
