    Factor analysis for paired ranked data with application on parent-child value orientation preference data

    No full text
    Ranking data appear in everyday life and arise in many fields of study such as marketing, psychology and politics. Very often, the key objective of analyzing and modeling ranking data is to identify underlying factors that affect the individuals’ choice behavior. Factor analysis for ranking data is one of the most widely used methods to tackle the aforementioned problem. Recently, Yu et al. [J R Stat Soc Ser A (Statistics in Society) 168:583–597, 2005] have developed factor models for ranked data in which each individual is asked to rank a set of items. However, paired ranked data may arisewhen the same set of items are ranked by a pair of judges such as a couple in a family. This paper extended the factor model to accommodate such paired ranked data. The Monte Carlo expectation-maximization algorithm was used for parameter estimation, at which the E-step is implemented via the Gibbs Sampler. For model assessment and selection, a tailor-made method called the bootstrap predictive checks approach was proposed. Simulation studies were conducted to illustrate the proposed estimation and model selection method. The proposed method was applied to analyze a parent–child partially ranked data collected from a value priorities survey carried out in the United States

    Marine algal flora of Pengchia Yu and its special place in the marine phytogeography of Taiwan

    No full text
    A total of 52 taxa of marine benthic algae is reported from Pengchia Yu, a remote islet located off northeastern Taiwan. Two taxa represent new records for the marine flora of Taiwan, three taxa show their range extension. This islet acts as a tropical refugium in a region that is widely known to have cold water floristic affinities. The effects of the sea surface-water temperature and current on the distribution of algae are also discussed.TR: CS9510874Source type: Electronic(1

    Textbook of neonatal medicine : a Chinese perspective

    No full text
    This authoritative and comprehensive text is written by an internationally renowned group of medical experts of Chinese ethnic origin from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and six other countries. As a scientific and clinically practical review of current knowledge on medical care of normal and high-risk infants, this book covers the essentials of modern neonatal medicine. Conditions which are common or life-threatening have been selected for detailed description, while sufficient information is provided on uncommon or less serious problems to help gain an understanding of how they are best managed. A special emphasis has been put on describing experiences which are unique to Chinese infants. The 91 chapters reflect the personal interest and experience of the 77 contributors whose contemporary view and practical approach should prove useful for postgraduate trainees and specialists wishing to keep themselves up to date in neonatal medicinepublished_or_final_versionEditorsContributorsForewordsPrefaceIndex p8971 Organisation of Perinatal Care / Shoo K.
