Oxford Handbook on Adam Smith
No full textAdam Smith (1723-90) is a thinker with a distinctive perspective on human behaviour and social institutions. He is best known as the author of the An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). Yet his work is name-checked more often than it is read and then typically it is of an uninformed nature; that he is an apologist for capitalism, a forceful promoter of self-interest, a defender of greed and a critic of any 'interference' in market transactions . To offset this caricature, this Handbook provides an informed portrait. Drawing on the expertise of leading Smith scholars from around the world, it reflects the depth and breadth of Smith's intellectual interests. After an introductory outline chapter on Smith's life and times, the volume comprises 28 new essays divided into seven parts. Five sections are devoted to particular themes in Smith's corpus - his views on Language, Art and Culture; his Moral Philosophy; his Economic thought, his discussions of History and Politics and his analyses of Social Relations. These five parts are framed by one that focuses on the immediate and proximate sources of his thought and the final one that recognizes Smith's status as a thinker of world-historical significance - indicating both his posthumous impact and influence and his contemporary resonance. While each chapter is a discrete contribution to scholarship, the Handbook comprises a composite whole to enable the full range of Smith's work to be appreciated

Sheriff Shirley Dewey Smith
No full textSheriff Shirley Dewey Smith was born in Mount Vernon, Georgia on August 7, 1897. He served in World War I and moved to Manatee County in 1925. He served on both the Bradenton and Palmetto police forces. He was later named Chief Deputy for the Manatee County Sheriff's Department under C.J. Hutches. He filled in as interim sheriff after Sheriff Hutches died, until the November election. Actually he followed Mrs. Eva Hutches, C.J.'s wife, as sheriff. She had been appointed by the county commission to fill out her husband's term while awaiting the governor's official appointment, and she served 12 days. In 1948 he was elected by overwhelming majority to the position of Constable of District Six, which at that time embraced all of Manatee County south of the Manatee River. After his 1948 primary victory, Governor Caldwell appointed Smith to complete the unexpired term of Charles Stewart, beginning his regular term in January 1949. Then, on June 4, 1950, Smith died of a heart attack after shooting at and wounding a man who had benn firing a gun in the air. [Portrait taken by Slocum Studio of Bradenton]
The effect of sample design on principal component analysis
No full textMost sample surveys are multivariate and many lend themselves to multivariate methods of analysis. The most usual mode of such analysis is a standard statistical package, such as BMDP or SPSS, in which the multivariate analyses are based on the underlying assumption that the data are generated as independent observations from a common probability distribution. This assumption ignores the sample selection procedure involved in the survey, which leads to the following basic questions. What effects can the sample design have on methods of multivariate analysis? How should such effects be taken into account? This article considers the case of principal component analysis and, in particular, the point estimation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a covariance matrix. It is assumed that the selection of the sample depends on the population values of auxiliary variables as, for example, in stratified sampling. The conventional estimators, based on the assumption of simple random sampling, are compared with alternative probability-weighted and maximum likelihood estimators. Under a multivariate normal model, simple expressions are presented for the approximate model bias of the different estimators. The validity of these results is assessed in a simulation study involving a disproportionate stratified design
