The sisters' riddle and the importance of variance when guessing demographic rates from kin counts
Demography 17, 103--114 (1980).
[Link]
[GScholar?]
[BibTeX]
Abstract: It is known that even people who do not know their ages, know their kin; leading to the belief in demography that kin counts in various types of communities can fill in the data gaps left by lack of adequate census or vital registration figures. A formula was proposed in 1978 by Goldman, whereby the rate of natural increase could be estimated in a stable population from the ratio between the total numbers of younger and older ever-born sisters of living women over an age greater than the total length of the child- bearing span. The main use for this model is in relatively small communities where a survey of kin is feasible or in a situation where anthropoligical data has already been collected for other purposes. The model does not work where random variability about mean values is great. Computer microsimulations show the large statistical errors derived when the formula is used for nonstable populations. When the population is increasing, there are more younger sisters than older sisters; when the population is decreasing, the reverse is true. The rate of increase must, therefore, be included in the simulation. A variation on the original Goldman theory takes into account random variability, changing rates, and other elements in a nonstable demographic situation. Microsimulation with the modified version illustrates its usefulness in population growth-rate estimation.

Demographic consequences of incest tabus: A microsimulation analysis
Science 205, 972--977 (1979).
[GScholar?]
[DOI]
[BibTeX]
Abstract: Theories of incest tabus usually stress the psychosocial advantages of marriage regulation. But marriage regulation may produce delays in mating and thus loss of fertility to a population. Computer microsimulation experiments measure the amount of fertility that must be achieved outside a normatively specified marriage system in order to keep population constant. This amount varies directly with scope of tabu and inversely with population size. For populations of hundreds it is negligible, but for populations of dozens it can be very great. In the latter, flexibility of marital arrangements may permit maintenance of fertility without repeated revision of rules of marriage.

Parameter estimation in X-ray astronomy using maximum likelihood
The Astrophysical Journal 230 (No. 2), 274--287 (1979).
[GScholar?]
[DOI]
[BibTeX]
Abstract: Methods of estimation of parameter values and confidence regions by maximum likelihood and Fisher efficient scores starting from Poisson probabilities are developed for the nonlinear spectral functions commonly encountered in X-ray astronomy. It is argued that these methods offer significant advantages over the commonly used alternatives called minimum chi-squared because they rely on less pervasive statistical approximations and so may be expected to remain valid for data of poorer quality. Extensive numerical simulations of the maximum likelihood method are reported which verify that the best-fit parameter value and confidence region calculations are correct over a wide range of input spectra.

The strong limits of random matrix spectra for sample matrices of independent elements
Ann. Probab. 6 (No. 1), 1--18 (1978).
[GScholar?]
[ZM] [MR] [DOI]
[BibTeX]
Abstract: This paper proves almost-sure convergence of the empirical measure of the normalized singular values of increasing rectangular submatrices of an infinite random matrix of independent elements. The limit is the limit as both dimensions grow large in some ratio. The matrix elements are required to have uniformly bounded central $2 + \delta$th moments, and the same means and variances within a row. The first section (relaxing the restriction on variances) proves any limit-in-distribution to be a constant measure rather than a random measure, establishes the existence of subsequences convergent in probability, and gives a criterion for almost-sure convergence. The second section proves the almost-sure limit to exist whenever the distribution of the row variances converges. It identifies the limit as a nonrandom probability measure which may be evaluated as a function of the limiting distribution of row variances and the dimension ratio. These asymptotic formulae underlie recently developed methods of probability plotting for principal components and have applications to multiple discriminant ratios and other linear multivariate statistics.
