Boys and girls establish relatively stable gender stereotyped behavior patterns by middle childhood. Parent-report questionnaires measuring children’s gender-related behavior enable researchers to conduct large-scale screenings of community samples of children. For school-aged children, two parent-r...
Statistical and Comparative Evaluation of Various Indexing and Search Models
This paper first describes various strategies (character, bigram, automatic segmentation) used to index the Chinese (ZH), Japanese (JA) and Korean (KR) languages. Second, based on the NTCIR-5 test-collections, it evaluates various retrieval models, varying from classical vector-space models to more ...
Optimal Spectral Bandwidth for Long Memory
For long range dependent time series with a spectral singularity at frequency zero, a theory for optimal bandwidth choice in non-parametric analysis of the singularity was developed by Robinson (1994a). In the present paper, the optimal bandwidths are compared with those in case of a smooth spectrum...
