Accommodating the Public Sphere: Beyond the Market Model

This Essay has two major components. First, in Parts I and II, I describe and critique the Court\u27s opinion in Dale, beginning with an examination of the social origins of scouting, then proceeding to an analysis of Dale. Second, in Parts III and IV, I place the questions raised in Dale in another context in which they belong but are seldom analyzed, that of the jurisprudence of public accommodations laws . . . In conclusion, I join the two major themes by framing Dale\u27s claim as the latest in a series of cases that have invoked an evolving understanding of citizenship. What is specifically at stake in Dale is the relationship between civic status and gender and sexuality. What it illustrates more broadly is the need for a contemporary social theory of citizenship that encompasses the discursive dynamics and power of the institutions of civil society

Accelerated Parameter Estimation with DALEχ\chi

We consider methods for improving the estimation of constraints on a high-dimensional parameter space with a computationally expensive likelihood function. In such cases Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) can take a long time to converge and concentrates on finding the maxima rather than the often-desired confidence contours for accurate error estimation. We employ DALE$\chi$ (Direct Analysis of Limits via the Exterior of $\chi^2$) for determining confidence contours by minimizing a cost function parametrized to incentivize points in parameter space which are both on the confidence limit and far from previously sampled points. We compare DALE$\chi$ to the nested sampling algorithm implemented in MultiNest on a toy likelihood function that is highly non-Gaussian and non-linear in the mapping between parameter values and $\chi^2$. We find that in high-dimensional cases DALE$\chi$ finds the same confidence limit as MultiNest using roughly an order of magnitude fewer evaluations of the likelihood function. DALE$\chi$ is open-source and available at https://github.com/danielsf/Dalex.git

SAS Macro BDM for Fitting the Dale Regression Model to Bivariate Ordinal Response Data

A SAS macro for fitting an extension of the Dale (1986) regression model to bivariate ordinal data is provided. The macro is described in detail and examples from Dale (1986) and McMillan, Hanson, Bedrick, and Lapham (2005) are discussed.
