Abstract:

In a preprint by J. Wood, V. Lomadze, and E. Rogers, chains and boundary maps were defined for 2-D discrete behavioral systems. The corresponding homology groups were studied and tied to trajectory properties. Indeed, the homology groups encapsulated the concepts of autonomy, controllability, and signal restriction. We shall present an extension of their work to n-D discrete behavioral systems. In particular, we shall streamline the construction of the chain groups, the boundary maps between chains, and the study of the resultant homology groups. While constructing this machinery, we shall p

Paper 2: Individual Specific Weighting Scheme to a Multidimensional Poverty Measure Abstract Weights in the estimation of multidimensional poverty have a central role by showing the relative importance of dimensions.

On the other hand, the endowment based weighting scheme gives more weight to the dimension with large number of deprived individuals. The proposed weighting schemes c

Abstract:

In this PhD thesis we explore the concept of a multidimensional asymptotic class. This is a new notion in model theory, arising as a generalisation of the Elwes–Macpherson–Steinhorn notion of an N-dimensional asymptotic class [22] and thus ultimately as a development of the Lang–Weil estimates of the number of points of a variety in a finite field [47]. We provide the history and motivation behind the topic before developing its basic theory, paying particular attention to multidimensional exact classes, a special kind of multidimensional asymptotic class where the measuring functions provide

Abstract:

An MDS (MultiDimenaional Scaling) model of personality assessment is presented as an alternative method of personality assessment designed to incorporate recently discovered cognitive principles relating to how people mentally organize categories (Roach, 1978), including personality trait categories (Broughton, 1984). The MDS model is shown to generalize from a tool for evaluating the self concept and the semantics of interpersonal categories (Partridge, 1984) to one that taps the full gamut of personality assessment in the interpersonal domain as defined by Wiggins (1979).

Properties of the non-stationary second moments (correlations and dispersions) of their distribution are studied in a connection with the other evidences of transport in a one-dimensional Mori chain.

Abstract:

During the last twenty years the theory of linear algebraic and high-order differential equation systems has been greatly researched. Two commonly used types of system description are the so-called matrix fraction description (MFD) and the Rosenbrock system matrix (RSM); these are defined by polynomial matrices in one indeterminate. Many of the system's physical properties are encoded as algebraic properties of these polynomial matrices. The theory is well developed and the structure of such systems is well understood. Analogues of these 1-D realisations can be set up for many dimensional syst

, Outside Jungian analytical psychology, Jung is categorised as a personality "theorist. Because, historically, evaluations of Jung's personality theory have given rise to myths, misrepresentations and misunderstandings about Jung's work, a re-appraisal of his reputation as a personality theorist is long overdue. The resulting marginalisation of his theory of personality restricts Jung scholarship, limits opportunities for research, and minimises the public accessibility of Jungian psychotherapy. My approach is hermeneutical. By surveying more than is usual in what is defined as Jung's persona

Abstract:

Test selection in psychological assessment is guided, both explicitly and implicitly, by how informative tests are with regard to a trait of interest. Most existing formulations of test information are sensitive to subpopulation variation, with the result that test information will vary from sample to sample. Recently, measures of test information have been developed that quantify the potential informativeness of the test. These indices are defined by the properties of the test, as distinct from the properties of the sample or examinee. As of yet, however, measures of potential information hav

Abstract:

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious psychiatric disorder characterised by turbulent interpersonal relationships, impaired self image, impulsivity, and a recurrent pattern of unstable affect which is usually evident by early adulthood. It has a community prevalence rate of two per cent, and approximately nine per cent of people diagnosed with BPD commit suicide. This suggests that BPD has one of the highest lethality rates of all psychiatric disorders. The course of the disorder shows a steady improvement over the course of early adulthood with the majority of cases remitting by

This thesis proposes a comprehensive framework that allows analysis of preference-sensitive well-being and inequality. It draws together complementary aspects of attempts to operationalise a more inclusive and multidimensional definition of well-being, through subjective well-being measurement, social welfare theory, and multidimensional indices of well-being and inequality. Theoretical proposals and empirical strategies are put forward, with illustrations using data from the British Household Panel Survey.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents a dynamic theory of personality and emotions. The theory offered is explicit in its incorporation of an evolutionary-functionalist perspective and suggests that personality and the emotions are dynamic within the limits imposed by the functions of each. The dissertation begins by discussing the ubiquity of goals and goal-organising constructs in living systems. Personality, it is argued, is most validly conceptualised as being a complex goal-organising construct. Specific attention is then given to the consideration of innate motives in a motivational model of person

Abstract:

This thesis aims to rescue the tradition of corporation theory from the implications of ontological and ethical individualism, which form important tenets of mainstream political theory. My argument for corporate personality builds on the Lockean and Humean theory of personal identity over time. According to this theory, personal identity is not rooted in the identity of a deep and indivisible Self, but in the relatedness between temporally distinct psychological stages. A person is a group of desires, beliefs, memories, traits and other attitudes, tied together by a causal string. On the best

Abstract:

The effectiveness of multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques in recovering the underlying dimensionality of dichotomously-scored data was examined for unidimensional and multidimensional data. Thirty-three data sets of varying numbers of dimensions with differing patterns of item discrimination were generated using a multidimensional latent trait model in a Monte Carlo simulation study. Margin-sensitive measures (agreement, phi, and kappa) and margin-free measures (Φ/ Φ(max), Yule's Q, and the tetrachoric correlation) were used as measures of similarity and the resulting matrices were scaled

These procedures account for indeterminacies in (1) translation, (2) dilation, (3) rotation, and (4) correlation. However, no procedures currently exist to equate number correct scores after parameter estimates are placed on the same scale. This resea
