Interview Excerpt of Mrs. Amelia Boynton Robinson
No full text(1911-2015) Amelia B. Robinson a civil rights leader, the daughter of George and Anna Robinson, was born in Savannah, Georgia. Amelia attended two years at Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth (now Savannah State University, a historically black college). She transferred to Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), earning a degree in home economics in 1927. She was a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement in Selma, Alabama and a key figure in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches. In 1984, she became founding Vice-President of the Schiller Institute which was affiliated with Lyndon LaRouche. She was awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr., Freedom Medal in 1990

Edgeworth Expansions for Semiparametric Averaged Derivatives - (Now published in Econometrica, 68 (2000), pp.931-979.)
No full textA valid Edgeworth expansion is established for the limit distribution of density-weighted semiparametric averaged derivative estimates of single index models. The leading term that corrects the normal limit varies in magnitude, depending on the choice of bandwidth and kernel order. In general this term has order larger than the n -½ that prevails in standard parametric problems, but we find circumstances in which it is O(n -½), thereby extending the achievement of an n -½ Berry-Essen bound in Robinson (1995). A valid empirical Edgeworth expansion is also established. We also provide theoretical and empirical Edgeworth expansions for a studentized statistic, where the correction terms are different from those for the unstudentized case. We report a Monte Carlo study of finite sample performance.Edgeworth expansion, semiparametric estimates, averaged derivatives
On Topological Chaos in the Robinson-Solow-Srinivasan Model
No full textIn this paper, we offer an instance of (topologically) chaotic optimal behavior in a twosector model with irreversible investment, originally formulated by Robinson, Solow and Srinivasan. Our result follows from the theory of turbulence in non-linear dynamical systems, and relies only on the existence of a continuous optimal policy function. The fact that there is a unique optimal program from each initial stock when future utilities are discounted by a factor smaller than the labor-capital ratio may be of independent interest.

Uniform Embedding of Robinson Similarity Matrices
No full textA Robinson similarity matrix is a symmetric matrix where the entry values on all rows and columns increase toward the diagonal. Decompose the Robinson matrix into the sum of k {0, 1}-matrices, then these k {0, 1}-matrices are the adjacency matrices of a set of nested unit interval graphs. Previous studies show that unit interval graphs coincide with indifference graphs. An indifference graph has an embedding that maps each vertex to a real number, where two vertices are adjacent if their embedding is within a fixed threshold distance. In this thesis, consider k different threshold distances, we study the problem of finding an embedding that, simultaneously and with respect to each threshold distance, embeds the k indifference graphs corresponding to the k adjacency matrices. This is called a uniform embedding of a Robinson matrix with respect to the k threshold distances. We give a sufficient and necessary condition on Robinson matrices that have a uniform embedding, which is derived from paths in an associated graph. We also give an efficient combinatorial algorithm to find a uniform embedding or give proof that it does not exist, for the case where k = 2

Edwal Robinson
No full text"Edwal Robinso[n] A.B. 22823 Boom defence HMAS Platypus."Index to the location of names on the quilt ; A1-2Edwal Robinso[n]. Able Seaman. 22823. Boom defence. His Majesty's Australian Ship Platypus.These patches were signed by people who visited the Northern Territory during the Year of Commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin, 1992, or who wrote from interstate or overseas during that year. The quilt measures almost five metres by three, and is designed to resemble a typical porcellanite stone wall as can still be seen on some old Darwin buildings. In addition to the names on the Quilt there are nurse's colourpatch, the emblem of the Civil Construction Corps and twenty pictures of sites which would have been familiar to people of Darwin at the time. Some of the buildings can still be seen today, whereas others have disappeared as a result of enemy action, Cyclone Tracy or the indomitable march of progress. The illustrations on the Quilt were based on photographs taken during the war years and now held in the collections of the Northern Territory Library. The Quilt was made by Jenny Armour, and took about 18 months of weekends and other free time to complete, using techniques of patchwork, applique, and machine embroidery and was quilted using 100% Australian wool batting
