Deviance as a System-Identification Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper was presented at the Conference on Strategies of Longitudinal Research on Drug Use, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1976. The conference proceedings were supposed to be published by Denise Kandel who organized the conference, but that didn’t happen. In 1989, after more than a decade of waiting, I decided to revise the paper and see it into print, but after some minor editing I stopped, feeling that the paper no longer adequately reflected my increasingly constructionist views on deviance. Now it strikes me that the paper is an interesting systems analysis view of deviance, and not as devoid of constructionism as I thought, so I am making it available: August, 2003.

Linking Managerial Coaching and Workplace Deviance: The Mediating Role of Thriving at Work
Workplace deviance is indeed an issue for any organization. Many researchers have endeavored to explore different predictors to control this problem. However, managerial coaching can be seen as a leading managerial practice to address this issue within the organizations. Using the LMX theory, a model was developed to explore the direct relationship between managerial coaching and workplace devi...
متن کاملIIR System Identification Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm with Chaos
Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...
متن کاملDeviance analysis of age-period-cohort models
Age-period-cohort models for Lexis diagrams are considered. The identification problem is addressed by reparametrizing the models in terms of freely varying parameters. The reparametrisation covers all three Lexis diagrams. A new plot of the unidentified time effects is suggested and interpreted. Deviance analysis covering a wide range of sub-models is presented. The methods are applied to Belg...
متن کاملOptimal Lag Structure Selection In
For the modelling of time series, multivariate linear and nonlinear systems of equations became a standard tool. These models are also applied for non–stationary processes. However, estimation results in finite samples might depend on the specification of the model dynamics. We propose a method for automatic identification of the dynamic part of VEC– models. Model selection is based on a modifi...
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of Min-Time Optimal Control Problem in Constrained LTI Systems: A State Transition Matrix Approach
In this paper, the min-time optimal control problem is mainly investigated in the linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time control system with a constrained input. A high order dynamical LTI system is firstly considered for this purpose. Then the Pontryagin principle and some necessary optimality conditions have been simultaneously used to solve the optimal control problem. These optimality ...
