From Chinese Original Domicile to Taiwanese Ethnicity: An Analysis of Census Category Transformation in Taiwan
No full textThe two purposes of this article are to a)identify the historical, social, & political
processes behind the formation & transformation of ethnic categorization in Taiwan’s population census procedures, & b) to locate the position of ethnic categorization in the political & social systems of postwar Taiwan. The author describes how ethnic characteristics in the general population were categorized by the
Republic of China (ROC) government across seven censuses conducted between 1956 & 2000, then uses the data to propose a four-stage transformation. An explanatory framework of political institution re-construction byMainland Chinese in Taiwan during the postwar era is offered to position the role & function of ethnic categorization. The author argues that categorizing people in terms of their geographic
origins in China or Taiwan was institutionalized by the ROC government under the banner of “Chinese national imagination” to meet the political goals of unifying people & claiming legitimacy for its efforts to retake the mainland. Categorization played an important role in the temporary political institutions that were established by the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) regime to claim that it was still the legitimate ruler
of China. However, categorization also revealed the regime’s lack of trust in the Taiwanese people to show loyalty to the Chinese nation, which the government suggested was the result of five decades of Japanese colonial rule. The end result was an institution in which Taiwanese were under-represented both politically & culturally.
After 1971 (when international support for the KMT regime declined), Chinese national ideology came under intense internal challenge, with the emerging opposition advocating an alternative Taiwanese national imagination. According to
demands for ethnic equality, temporary political arrangements were interpreted by opposition groups as institutions of ethnic discrimination against Taiwanese. The transformation of categorization from Chinese “original domicile” to Taiwanese “ethnicity” entailed not only a change in imagined societal boundaries, but also in ideal patterns of inter-group relations within the society. The original domicile categorization
system was eventually abolished after major institutional changes occurred in the early 1990s. The author addresses the circumstances under which the ethnicity concept became salient in Taiwan, & how it was used to counteract a nationalist discourse rather than an explicit racist ideology. Thus, ethnic relations in
Taiwan developed concurrently with a dispute over national identity, rather than within a less controversial national boundary
Is the Maximum Partial Likelihood Estimator for Cox’s Proportional Hazards Model Also a General Least Squares Estimator?
No full textThe equivalences in estimation between the maximum likelihood approach (e.g., the
usual maximum likelihood estimator) and the least squares approach (e.g., the ordinary,
weighted, generalized, and iterative reweighted least squares estimators) have been estab-lished
for many well-known classes of statistical regression models such as linear regression
model, logistic regression model, and generalized linear models (GLMs). However, no such
connection has been discovered yet for the maximum partial likelihood estimator (MPLE) of
the regression coefficients in Cox’s proportional hazards model (Cox 1972, 1975). In this
study, by choosing an appropriate ”moment condition” of generalized method of moments
(GMM) estimation, we find that with the ”asymmetric orthogonal expected information ap-proach”
of adaptive estimation, the optimal martingale estimating function obtained from the
minimization of the corresponding GMM quadratic form for a consistent estimator of the
regression coefficients reduces to the partial score function of the Cox’s proportional hazards
model, which implies that the well-behaved MPLE is also a general least squares estimator.
This finding is not only very interesting in its own rights, but it provides us with an oppor-tunity
to develop GLMs-type regression models locally for stochastic processes and to apply
some powerful GMM-related estimating techniques such as the instrumental variables method
to deal with several known statistical modeling problems including measurement error and
simultaneous-equations bias in analysis of survival or time-to-event data
