Commentary on Wu and Ma

Commentary on Wu and Ma.

Fisher (1947) and Bailey (1961) considered a two-locus tetrasomic model and exploited the basic features of genetic segregation and linkage of tetrasomic inheritance. They attempted to establish the relationship between the model parameters (the coefficients of double reduction at two linked loci, say α and β respectively, and recombination frequency between them, r) and frequencies of gamete m...

Inner Speech is not so Simple: A Commentary on Cho and Wu (2013)

We welcome Cho and Wu’s (1) suggestion that the study of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) could be improved by contrasting and testing more explanatory models. However, we have some worries both about their criticisms of inner speech-based self-monitoring (ISS) models and whether their proposed spontaneous activation (SA) model is explanatory. Cho and Wu rightly point out that some phenome...

Utushi and Ma: Infusing Two Japanese Concepts into Western Psychotherapy (commentary on Morioka)

The cultural problem described by Morioka (2008) and his concepts of utushi and ma are compared and contrasted to western concepts that convey somewhat overlapping meaning. These include inner critic, underdog voices, identification, projective identification, and organismic valuing process. Morioka's ideas are linked to the work of Rogers, Cooley, Mead, and Lewin. We discuss how utushi and ma ...

On Wu and Schaback’s Error Bound

Radial basis functions are a very powerful tool in multivariate approximation since they are mesh free. In the theory of radial basis functions, the most frequently used error bounds are the one raised by Madych and Nelson in [5] and the one raised by Wu and Schaback in [6], especially the latter. It seems that Wu and Schaback’s error bound is five times more frequently used than that of Madych...
