متن کاملDiverging moments and parameter estimation
Heavy tailed distributions which allow for values far from the mean to occur with considerable probability are of increasing importance in various applications as the arsenal of analytical and numerical tools grows. Examples of interest are the Stable and more generally the Pareto distributions for which moments of sufficiently large order diverge. In fact, the asymptotic powerlaws of the distr...
متن کاملDiverging Tendencies in Multidimensional Secession
We review mean-field and fluctuation-dominated behaviors exhibited by the Seceder Model, which moves an evolving population to various critical states of self-organized segregation, delicately balancing opposed sociological pressures of conformity & dissent, and giving rise to rich ideological condensation phenomena. The secession exponent and finite societal Seceder limits are examined. This p...

Using data from the 2003-2007 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS), we compare mothers’ (N = 6,640) time spent in four parenting activities across maternal education and child age subgroups. We test the hypothesis that highly educated mothers not only spend more time in active child care than less educated mothers, but that they alter the composition of that time to suit children’s developmental ne...
