Efficient Employment Of Cohorts Of Labor In The U.S. Economy: An Illustration Of A Method, A. E. Boardman, Steven M. Miller, A. P. Schinnar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper presents a model for the analysis of efficient labor force participation in the U.S. economy. Ridge regression estimates of the elasticities of cohorts of labor, classified by sex and occupation, are used in conjunction with wage data to illustrate the derivation of efficient allocation of labor cohorts in five economic sectors. These efficient constructs are compared with actual census data for 1960 and 1970. The results, while tentative, show a trend toward more efficient utilization of labor and greater participation by women in the work force.

The Cusp Catastrophe And The Laws Of Dialectics, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The three classical "laws" of dialectics of Hegel and Engels, ( 1) the transformation of quantity into quality, (2) the interpenetration of opposites, and (3) the negation of the negation, can be given precise meanings in terms of the Catastrophe Theory of Rene Thom and E. C. Zeeman. This suffices to counter the charge that dialectics is scholasticism or empty metaphysics, but does not support claims of universality for the dialectical principles, nor guarantee the validity of any particular application of these principles.

Requisite Variety And The Second Law, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

Although the Law of Requisite Variety (LRV) speaks directly about entropy (of a set of disturbances to a system, and of the states and effects of a regulator), the relation of Ashby's principle to the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not appear to have been commented on, In this paper, it is shown that, when regulation is viewed as a temporal process, the LRV can be interpreted as a statement of, and, in fact, a consequence of, the Second Law. In essence, the regulator reduces the variety (entropy) of the system being regulated by a compensatory increase of variety (entropy) …

Dialectics And Catastrophe, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The three classical principles of Hegelian and Marxist dialectics, (1) the transformation of quantity into quality, (2) the unity and struggle of opposites, and (3) the negation of negation, can be modeled with the Catastrophe Theory of René Thom and E. C. Zeeman, especially with the ‘elementary catastrophes’ known as the cusp and the butterfly.

Quantum Measurement And Gödel's Proof, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics has the character of a fundamental incompleteness within that theory similar to the incompleteness of axiomatic systems in mathematics, discovered and elaborated by Gödel and others. The difficulty of describing the measurement process by the time-dependent Schrodinger equation may reflect the limitations of formal language , and quantum theory may thus require a formalism consisting of two levels of description, one for the dynamics and one for measurement, levels whose relationship resembles that of a calculus and meta-calculus.

Using A Prediction Model In Forecasting Appeals, Paul A. Rake

IUSTITIA

Following the 1972 reorganization of the Indiana Court of Appeals into three panels serving defined geographical districts, the Court soon found itself floundering with too many unevenly distributed cases. Lacking a sufficient base of statistical data from which to formulate a plan to cope with the problem, various proposals, including redistricting the court, adding more judges, and developing a more sophisticated staff research, could not be measured for effectiveness or advisability.

In response to these problems, the Court developed a project to deal with the future caseload by constructing a regression model to predict appeals. This model generated estimates of …
