なぜ格差が生まれるのか？（引用）

「Aさんが少し優秀である」→「Aさんに仕事を任せる」→「Aさんはこれまで以上に熱心に仕事に取り組む・この仕事からさまざまな経験を積む」→「次の仕事もAさんに任せる」→「ますます2人の差が広がる」

このように「少しの差」が徐々に「大きな格差」となっていくのだ。

まず1つ目は「発揮場面を意識的に持つこと」である。
2つ目にオススメしたいのは「やる気を示すのは早いタイミング」を意識することである。

PP plot and QQ plot

There are two methods that visually compare two distributions. One of them can be the theoretical distribution so the other can be tested if it fits the theoretical one. In both methods, if the distributions are similar, the plots aligns on the y = x line.

QQ plot is much easier to plot. "Most people these days prefer the qqplot to the pp plot, the qq-plot gives more room to the set of points that are generally most interesting."


1. PP plot (P: probability)
Basics
Compare two distributions by plotting the two cumulative distribution functions (CDF) against each other.

---------------------------------------------------------
# Ex.
# Generate dummy distributions

dist_1 <- rvonmises(n=50, mu=circular(0), kappa=0.1)
dist_1 <- as.vector(dist_1)
dist_1 <- dist_1 %% pi
dist_1 <- sort(dist_1)
cdf_dist_1 <- dist_1/pi
# CDF of the uniform distribution

# f(x) = 1/(b-a) (a<x<b)
#       0       (x<a or x>b)

# Generate model distributions
i <- 1 : length(dist_1)
cdf_dist_model <- i/(length(dist_1)+1)


# Plot: This is the PP plot.
plot( cdf_dist_1, cdf_dist_model, xlim=c(0,1), ylim=c(0,1), pty="s" )
abline(0,1)
mtext( side=3, line=1, text=paste("PP plot"), cex=1.5)

---------------------------------------------------------
Extension
pp.plot : Plots the empirical distribution of a data set against the best fitting von Mises distribution function



2. QQ plot (Q: quantile)
Basics
Compare two distributions by plotting their quantiles against each other.
q-quantile (0 =< q =< 1) is the value that divide distribution into q:1-q.
---------------------------------------------------------
# Ex.
# Generate dummy distributions
dist_1 <- rt(200, df = 5)
dist_2 <- rt(200, df = 5)


# SORT two distributions
dist_1 <- sort(dist_1)
dist_2 <- sort(dist_2)


# Just plot: This is the QQ plot.
plot(dist_1, dist_2)

---------------------------------------------------------

Extension
The nb of data of x and y can be different. We just see the quantile data point. This program is prepared in R.
qqplot (dist_1, dist_2)

Matlab Gmail

Matlab can send an email (maybe can't make a call, though). Here is how to do it with Gmail. I've just played with this and checked this works. Still don't know when to use it, though. (this is supposed to be used by people who work on long simulation)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

% Define these variables appropriately:
mail_address = 'linli@obasic.net';            % My E-Mail Address
user_name = 'linli';                          % My Username
password = 'likeiwilltellyoumypassword';      % My E-Mail Password
smtp_server = 'mail.obasic.net;               % My SMTP Server
 
% Then this code will set up the preferences properly:
setpref('Internet', 'E_mail', mail_address);
setpref('Internet', 'SMTP_Username', user_name);
setpref('Internet', 'SMTP_Password', password);
setpref('Internet', 'SMTP_Server', smtp_server);
props = java.lang.System.getProperties;
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.auth', 'true');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.class', 'javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory');
props.setProperty('mail.smtp.socketFactory.port', '465');

Nationality

Iranian has difficulties to install in western countries... There is a Iranian intern student in our group. He is looking for a job in the oil industry, hopefully in France, as he studies reservoir engineering, but large western oil company do not want to hire any Iranians. Even if Iranians are hired, they don't have all access to the information in these companies. They refuse even to receive his CV so he cannot have any contacts.

In our company there are Iranians but they are ok, i.e., once they are hired, there are more or less protected by the local labor law.

He said his plan is to go to Canada, if he can't get a job.

Apartment (3)

What kind of apartments do you want to live in? Apartments in Paris varies enormously one to another. They are roughly categorized to 2: old style apartments and modern style apartments. Old style apartments are clearly different between 1900's 1930's, and modern styles 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's and 2000's. The good points of old apartment is the beauty of its building. The good points of modern building is the comfort of inside. It is not surprising to have trouble in the old apartment, such as the leak of water, lack of hot water, noise from neighbors etc.

- Old or modern

- Shower

- with elevator or not

1. Look for an apartment on web sites

or . Se loger is the site where you can see the apartment offered by agencies, on the other hand pap is the site for individual deal.

2. Call the agent and make an appoint of the visit

You should check every day and if you find a nice one you have to call soon. The apartments will be rent within 2-3 days after it is come up in the market.

3. Visit apartment with the agent and make a decision

Visit can be a private visit and a group visit. Generally the time limit to choose is at the end of the same day of the visit.

4. Give your profile documents to the agent

Generally, there are a lot people who want to live. This is the deal between . Owner ask agent to find a good renter because sometimes renters stop paying the rent so owner want a reliable renter. Agent looks for applicants for the apartment and give the owner the profiles of the applicants.

Read csv file in C

Here is the C code to get csv file data.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include "stdio.h"

#include "stdlib.h"

#include "math.h"

int main(void){

FILE *fin;

float a=0;

int nb_data = 60, i=0;

float* ReadArray;

ReadArray = (float *)malloc(sizeof(float)*nb_data);

/* open file */

if( (fin=fopen("TestData.csv","r")) == NULL ){

printf("file cant open\n");

exit(1);

}

/* get data one by one */

while( fscanf(fin,"%f,", &a) != EOF )

{

/* print */

ReadArray[i] = a;

printf( "read value=%f\n", ReadArray[i]);

i++;

}

fclose( fin );

}

French tax return

French citizen have to pay the taxes by oneself. There are two types of taxes - 1) taxes drawn from salary which companies pay so people don't have to deal with and 2) taxes I have to deal with by myself.

1)

2)

- 所得税 income tax

3回に分ける方式と、毎月払う方式（銀行口座からの引き落とし）から選べる。

今年の分は、前年の給料に基づいて支払っていき、年末に調整をする。

In this site (http://www.impot.gouv.fr/), we can quickly simulate the sum of tax we need to pay.
Generally, the amount corresponds to one month salary and proportional to the working period. If you started to work in June, you'll have to pay half of your one month salary.

- 住民税 resident tax

住んでいる地域と、アパートの大きさによって、額が決まる。

パリで30程度のstudioなら、500ユーロぐらいとのこと。

[ref. 1] Other taxes in France

- Consumption tax

5.5%。TVA(Tax à la Valeur Ajoutée) という。

[ref. 2] Tax in Japan

収入is brut、所得is net.

所得税が実際に課税されるのは、所得から社会保険料(国民年金、厚生年金、健康保険等)や扶養控除、基礎控除等の各種控除を差し引いた後の金額

Antivirus soft

Recently bought McAfee antivirus software. As the package is written in French, I expected French version for the software itself. However once it is installed in my PC, all explications were in Japanese. This means that the software somehow recognized the mother language of my PC and adopted to the language. In fact, I wanted to see French interface just for my interest and for practicing my French... this is a shame.

Velib

Velib is much easier to use than I have been expecting. This is my impression after taking a ride for the first time since I arrived in France. Very comfortable to ride in.

Here are the problems. First, in France it is not allowed to use the walkway for bicycle so people use the car road like motorcycle. So there are bicycles in the big intersection and rotary between cars. Second, there are many one-way street in Paris and bicycles, of course, need to follow it. People have to use other non direct streets. Then how can you find it is one-way or not because there are no signs in many cases?? The most common way is to check the direction of parked cars, or if there are two traffic light on the both sides of the street, the street is one way.

Today there are 1800(!) Velib stations in/close to Paris and they are placed about every 300m.

Why France?

タイトルの質問は、死ぬまで聞かれるであろう。ただ、ヤボだと思うし（人にはそれぞれ事情があるもので、フランスに来るというのは、スーパーに買い物に行くのとはわけが違って、込み入った理由があることが多い）、相手の個人的な領域に足を踏み入れるような気がする。自分は、躊躇してしまう。ただ、聞き方によっては、それほど領域の奥に入ることはないと思うし、状況によっては、聞くのが自然という場合があると思う。

・最初に日本から出た理由

年上の親友をきっかけに、エンジニアとして来日していた外国人たちと知り合ったときに、エクスパットという仕事のスタイルがあることを知り、ある国にとどまって、そこでずっと生活をしていくのがつまらないと感じたということが一番だろう。大学時代を通して、専攻に物足りなさを感じて、ずっとくすぶっていて、何か外に向けてしたいと思っていたが、大学を通じでは、外に繋がるものが何も見つけられなかった。1年間のインターンシッププログラムに応募した。どんな一年になるか、全く予想がつかなかったけど、何かを得たいと思っていた。経験、語学、仕事、の3つのうち、会社が決まった時点で、とりあえず経験（CVに良いという意味）はゲットした。仕事つまらなかったり、自分の能力以上のものであれば、それは捨てて、語学に専念しようと思っていた。あるプログラムの先輩が「プログラムをウルルン滞在記にするな」と言ったが、これはまさにそうで、いい思い出にするだけには勿体なさすぎるプログラムである。

・残りたかった理由

【即時的なもの】

1．エンジニアの社会的ステイタスが高い・・・エンジニアは給料が良い部類だ。頭を使って、ものを作りだす仕事が、尊敬されている。

2．仕事にとても興味が持てた

3．いい会社だった

5．パリでの生活は問題ない・・・溶け込めているように感じられる必要があると思う。溶け込めているように感じられたのは、フラットメイトの存在が大きかったと思う。

【将来的なもの】

1．キャリアの差別化ができる

2．学ぶことができ、専門を伸ばすことができる

3．英語と仏語の両方を身につけられる

Search apartment (2)

In Paris, the price of apartment has been going up since several years. One of my friend said to me that she bought an apartment in the 11th district when she was a student (now she is 30 years old), and renting it now.

http://www.metrofrance.com/paris/paris-l-immobilier-bat-de-nouveaux-records/pkez!isFN4CHDDoBKXQ6rINuA@Q/

is a free paper distributed every morning at the gate of metro stations in Paris.

Search apartmetn (1)

Finding a nice apartment is difficult in Paris. I found my current place through mixi, but I need to leave for some reason or another in not so long. This time, as I am newly hired as semi-expatriot, the company's agent helps me find an apartment. I just have to tell her the criteria and She does the research calling real estate agent and internet. My criteria are

- along the line 12 or 13

- less than 800 euros

she takes two or three days for the search so I needed to take an appointment in advance to be sure she can take enough time for the search. On May 24 she came over to me to pick me up then we went to see the apartments by her car. finally we did the visit of 9 apartments in or outside Paris. Still it is very difficult to choose one.

What is important is to "work well". Definitely. I didn't chose this time. We will do the second visit next month (June).

Note for moving to abroad

１．外国でproof of marriage registrationは、婚姻届の受理証明書（旧姓のっている）が

届出人のみ受け取れ、350円かかる

２．変圧器について：熱が出るような電化製品はw数が大きいため、大きなものが必要。数万円、かつ重い。

Japanese Pension (2)

Japan has an agreement of premium of pension between other main countries

http://www.sia.go.jp/seido/kyotei/index.htm

In France, companies have to pay the premium of employees.

This site discuss the point of residence registry

http://www.interq.or.jp/world/naoto/benricho/jumin.html

: in my case, thanks to the agreement, the premium I will pay in France will be valid in Japan. so I don't have to pay premium here in Japan, so I should not register my residence in Japan.

Japanese prepaid mobile

Even for a short stay in Japan, you will need mobile phone for many practical reason.

The prepaid type mobile offered by Softbank is very useful for a short stay.

Note that docomo doesn't have this service any more (before they had). AU has the prepaid phone service, but the financial situation of AU has been apparently not good since several years, so this seemed to be kind of dangerous, as you may want to use it for next several years.

First, you need to buy these

1. mobile phone (prepaid type) : the price depends on the type, but mine was 2500 yen or so.

2. prepaid card : 2 types, 3000yen and 5000yen.

To activate it, call "1400", then follow the instruction

1. Charge credit: just give the number of mobile card

2. Register free email service: this cost you 300yen, but this is cost-effective I think. this service is only for 30 days, so you have to do it again if you use more than the period.

Every time you come to Japan, you just have to buy the card and do the above.

The credit is valid for 2 months from the date you charged.

The number is valid for 1 year after the last credit is expired.

Voila.

Summer time

Summer time started last Sunday. At 2 am people have to set their clock back one hour.

I love this season. I feel very happy just for the change. The photo is taken at 8:45 pm.

In Japan summer time existed between 1948 and 1951, but the bad reputation abolished it.

So what happened with summer time in Japan?

In fact, people was forced to work (by their bosses or, I guess, spontaneously) longer...

F test for regression

回帰式を得た後は、回帰式（つまるところ回帰式の係数）に意味があるのかを調べる必要がある。

回帰だけならどんなデータでもできてしまうからである。

Ｆ検定とt検定の2種類があり、Ｆ検定はすべての係数の有意性を一度にしらべるもの、t検定は各係数について別個に調べるものという認識でokだろう。

Ｆ検定とは、そもそも、帰無仮説が正しければ統計量がF分布に従うような統計学的検定の総称である。

H₀: 「全ての係数がゼロであるものと、得られた回帰式の、2群間の分散に差がない(等分散である)」

p-value<0.05であれば、回帰式の係数はゼロではないということになり、遠まわしに得られた回帰式の係数が意味を持つということになるようである。

xを説明変数（explanatory variable）、yを目的変数（objective variable）とすると

Rであれば、

Matlabであれば、

result = regstats(y,x)

Enseigner le français au Japon

J'ai posé une question à une amie français qui habite à Osaka. C'est pour mon ami français, qui habite à Paris et qui veut aller au japon et travailler un peu pour vivre.

Je crois que si anglais ou amrican, ça sera pas trop difficle car avec le boum d'intérêt de la langue anglaise.

Pour ce qui est des écoles de langues. Est-ce que ton ami parle japonais ? C'est un point important. Après, as-il de l'expérience en tant qu'enseignant ? Ces deux points sont très importants, si ce n'est pas le cas, c'est un peu risqué... Après, il faut savoir que c'est un travail très mal rémunéré au Japon, mais qui demande beaucoup d'efforts et de travail. Du coup, c'est bien pour une période courte, mais beaucoup abandonnent au bout d'un moment, et se tournent vers un autre travail. La solution la plus intéressante est de participer au programme JET (voir leur site web). Ils permettent d'enseigner sa langue maternelle au Japon avec une rémunération intéressante et dans des conditions idéales. Mais la sélection est rude : encore faut-il une forte motivation, un très bon niveau de japonais, et au moins une petite expérience en enseignement.

France-Japan Cultural Gap

This site lists the interesting comparison between France and Japan.

Cultural comparison is always interesting. This site describes very well. From my experience, these are considerably right. France and Japan have many common points but if you step back and look at both objectively these two countries are very very different.

The more I stay in France and learn French language, the more I feel I never be able to understand French. But what is important will not be to understand, but to feel home and like it. The reason will come from another source.

Least Square Method (LMS)

I'm currently working on a project which requires least square method, either linear and non linear. there are several ways to use it, like how we define its residual. I was trying to find best answer, but it was hard. In this case, this is a helpful advice.

「・・・これは一つの最小二乗法のやり方であって、他の方法もあるでしょう。

方法が違えば、最適値も違ってくるでしょう。仮定が違えば、値も違うことになりますが、
それはそれでいいんではないかと思います。

そもそも、データー処理の数学は、厳密数学ではありません。

統計数学と同様に、アバウトな数学なのです。」

LSM with weight is needed for robust estimation.
