Constructing Ethnic Fractionalization Indices
In recent years, ethnic fractionalization has emerged as a central variable in quantitative analyses of outcomes ranging from economic growth rates (Easterly and Levine, 1997) and the quality of governance (La Porta et al, 1999) to ethnic conflict (Kay et al, 2000) and the frequency of coups d’etat (Londregan and Poole, 1990). Almost all such analyses employ, either alone or in combination with...
متن کاملReducing control selection errors associated with underground bolting equipment.
Selecting the incorrect control during the operation of underground bolting and drilling equipment causes serious injuries. Shape coding and the layout of dual control banks are two aspects of control design which require further examination. The aims of this research were: (i) to determine whether arbitrary shape coding was effective in reducing selection error rates in a virtual analogy of ro...
متن کاملGenetic worth and stability of selection indices in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Improvement of one trait on its own will affect the performance of other traits because ofgenotypic correlations between traits. Index selection is one of the tools used by plant breedersto overcome this problem. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate selection indices developedfor improving grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Forty-nine rice genotypes were cultivated atTonekabon Rice Rese...
متن کاملSampling Issues of Tournament Selection in Genetic Programming
Tournament selection is one of the most commonly used parent selection schemes in Genetic Programming (GP). While it has a number of advantages over other selection schemes, it still has some issues that need to be thoroughly investigated. Two of the issues are assocated with the sampling process from the population into the tournament. The first one is the socalled “multi-sampled” issue, where...
متن کاملSampling Errors in Phylogeny I
The sampling variance of nucleotide diversity or branch length in a phylogenetic tree constructed by any distance method provides a criterion to judge whether a deduction or an inference made from data is statistically significant. However, computation of the sampling variance is usually tedious, particularly when the number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) or DNA sequences is large, and m...
