New Liu Estimators for the Poisson Regression Model: Method and Application

A new shrinkage estimator for the Poisson model is introduced in this paper. This method is a generalization of the Liu (1993) estimator originally developed for the linear regression model and will be generalised here to be used instead of the classical maximum likelihood (ML) method in the presence of multicollinearity since the mean squared error (MSE) of ML becomes inflated in that situation. Furthermore, this paper derives the optimal value of the shrinkage parameter and based on this value some methods of how the shrinkage parameter should be estimated are suggested. Using Monte Carlo simulation where the MSE and mean absolute error (MAE) are calculated it is shown that when the Liu estimator is applied with these proposed estimators of the shrinkage parameter it always outperforms the ML. Finally, an empirical application has been considered to illustrate the usefulness of the new Liu estimators.Estimation; MSE; MAE; Multicollinearity; Poisson; Liu; Simulation

The Diatomic Molecular Spectroscopy Database: Data-science Driven Applications

Spectroscopic constants of molecules characterize the unique fingerprints of molecules and atoms. In particular, for diatomic molecules, spectroscopic constants encapsulate essential information about different applications in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, such as laser cooling or quantum information. To help find molecules well-suited for a given application, we have developed a database linked to an interactive website.\footnote{X. Liu, S. Truppe, G. Meijer and J. P\'{e}rez-R\'{i}os, J. Cheminform. \textbf{12}, 31 (2020)} The spectroscopic constants and Franck-Condon factors can be retrieved in useful formats from the website or via an application programming interface. New data can also be uploaded upon acceptance by the web managers. By applying machine-learning approaches to this dataset, we show that the spectroscopic constants, including the equilibrium distance, harmonic vibrational frequency, and binding energy, are correlated and depend solely on the constituent's groups and periods. Based on these relationships, ground-state spectroscopic constants of polar diatomic molecules can be predicted with a relative error of $<5\%$, whereas the same properties for the A-excited electron state are predicted with an error of $<11\%$.\footnote{X. Liu, G. Meijer and J. P\'{e}rez-R\'{i}os, arXiv:2005.07913 (2020)} Anyone can make these predictions with access to our database, and it does not require any quantum chemistry knowledge. Separately, we construct a database consisting of experimental electric dipole moments of 162 diatomic molecules. We show that the dipole moment of diatomic molecules is related to the constituent atoms' atomic properties, including electron affinity and ionization potential, and molecular properties that describe the force on the electrons at the equilibrium distance.\footnote{X.

Conservation laws can be derived from field equations?

Charge conservation law ($\partial_{\beta} J^\beta =0$) usually is considered as a corollary of Maxwell's equations. A circular reasoning, however, is found in the derivation. A similar fallacy exists in the matter source's conservation law ($\nabla^{\mu}T_{\mu\nu}=0$) and Einstein's field equations. Therefore, the source's conservation laws are NOT consequence of field equations.Comment: 2 page

Vibronic effects on electronic spectra and nonadiabatic photophysics. A quantum/classical dynamical approach.

Quantum vibronic effects have a remarkable impact on the lineshape of electronic spectra.1 They can also play an important role in the dynamics of photophysical processes like internal conversions at Conical Intersections or charge and energy transfer in multichromophoric systems. Recent advancements allow a fair description of such effects in rigid (harmonic) molecules in gas phase.1-4 However, in biology and in material science the photoexcited chomophores are usually embedded in a solvent, possibly establishing with them specific interactions, or even in more complex and heterogeneous environments. Moreover, many systems with interesting optical properties are flexible, i.e. the optical transition triggers large-amplitude curvilinear distortions, and this challenges the applicability of harmonic approximation. Trajectory based approaches are very suitable to deal with these scenarios but they neglect quantum nuclear effects. We are currently working with the hope to devise robust hybrid quantum/classical (QC) approaches to merge the potentialities of trajectory based methods and those of the quantum vibronic methods developed for rigid systems in gas phase or implicit solvents.1,5-6 The system is partitioned in two subsystems: a quantum core (the chromophore or just its high-frequency modes) and an environment (which can include also large amplitude motions of the system itself and is treated at a more approximate classical level) and the challenge is the reliable description of their mutual couplings. We will illustrate our recent results with a number of examples ranging from the chiro-otpical properties of flexible conjugated systems (e.g. oligothiophenes) to the nonadiabatic decay of photoexcited DNA nucleobases7 in acqueous solution. 8-12 1.

Extending the range of the inductionless magnetorotational instability

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) can destabilize hydrodynamically stable rotational flows, thereby allowing angular momentum transport in accretion disks. A notorious problem for MRI is its questionable applicability in regions with low magnetic Prandtl number, as they are typical for protoplanetary disks and the outer parts of accretion disks around black holes. Using the WKB method, we extend the range of applicability of MRI by showing that the inductionless versions of MRI, such as the helical MRI and the azimuthal MRI, can easily destabilize Keplerian profiles ~ 1/r^(3/2) if the radial profile of the azimuthal magnetic field is only slightly modified from the current-free profile ~ 1/r. This way we further show how the formerly known lower Liu limit of the critical Rossby number, Ro=-0.828, connects naturally with the upper Liu limit, Ro=+4.828.Comment: Growth rates added, references modified; submitted to Physical Review Letter

Breach procedure for axillary hyperhidrosis.

Dear Editor, We read with interest the communication on ‘A simple and practical method for axillary osmidrosis resection’ by Liu X, Mao T, Lei Z, Fan D appeared on JPRAS 2009.1 We found the description of the technique very useful with the support of intra-operative pictures. The use of artery clips to evert the skin flaps can be easily reproduced. However it is surprising that the Authors did not consider and mention in the References a paper by Mr N Breach appeared in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in the late 70ies,2 when he was Senior Registrar at the Plastic Surgery Department of the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK. Since then this latter procedure for surgical treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis has been widely adopted, [3], [4] and [5] especially in the Western world and in the UK where is known as the ‘Breach’ procedure. The main difference with the technique described in the paper by Liu X et al. consists in the number of incisions that has now been minimized
