Abstract In Japanese social discourse, male freeters have variously been understood as lazy and uninterested in working ‘properly’ or victims of a changing employment landscape. This chapter argues that male freeters attempted to distance themselves from the 'freeter' category primarily because of the social ramifications and character ...

Description of Distributions I: Real x
2003In the present chapter, some important distributions are defined and described. The event variable x is real, i.e. the distributions are probability densities. In Sect. 4.1, we describe Gaussian models. The exponential distribution is described in Sect. 4.2. The Cauchy distribution and Student’s t-distribution are defined in Sect. 4.3.

I. Real Equations with Real Unknowns
2016We begin with a preferably simple case, which is susceptible of geometric treatment, namely with a real algebraic equation for the unknown x, in which a parameter λ appears: f (x, λ) = 0.

Fitting a function β to the observed x may yield a poor result even if the available parameters are ξ optimised As explained at the beginning of Chap. 13, the function β(t) is actually a family of functions β(t; ξ), and one determines the range of ξ that falls into the Bayesian area. It is possible that even the optimum parameter ξ opt, defined in Sect.

Journal of Latin American Studies, 1998
One of the main conclusions of this commentary is that the Real plan – the stabilisation programme introduced in Brazil in July 1994 which was quite successful in bringing inflation down from the extremely high levels that prevailed before that period – did not attack the main cause of the country's inflation, that is, the large financial ...

The procedure of fitting a family of functions β to a set of observations x is discussed in the present chapter. The observations x = (x 1,..., x M ) are assumed to be real numbers here, in contrast to Chap. 15, where they are natural numbers. They are assumed to have a Gaussian distribution. This is a standard problem of statistics.

Ignorance about the hypothesis ξ cannot in general be expressed by the uniform prior. This is a consequence of the transformation law of a probability density discussed in Sect. 2.2. Under a reparameterisation of the hypothesis, the uniform density generally changes into another one that is no longer uniform.

Challenge, 2015
Is there a way to make the financial system systemically more stable? This former OECD and Treasury economist thinks it can be done by making the Federal Reserve the holder of insured demand deposits, thus taking them out of the hands of the commercial banks, which can then make loans based on money they can attract on their merits. Let the market work,

Why did Enron fail? Was it the criminality of key corporate executives, and their resort to deceptive bookkeeping and off‐balance sheet financing, as the popular accounts suggest?This article argues that the popular accounts may confuse causes and consequences and suggests that the seeds of Enron's demise were sown years before criminal behavior took ...
