Kuan-hsing Chen, Asia as Method: Toward Deimperialization,

Lincoln Chen: fostering health collaboration with Asia.

“My recent focus on China was a happy happenstance, a coincidence of sorts, not really planned”, refl ects Lincoln Chen. This is a surprising admission from the president of a private American foundation, the China Medical Board (CMB), but Chen has spent most of his life working in the USA and elsewhere in the world and his engagement with China is a new venture—he became president in 2006.

We very much welcome the comments on our paper (Xu and Randall 1999, hereafter XR99) by Tao, Shie, and Simpson (2001, hereafter TSS). TSS comment on some different results and interpretations between XR99 and Tao et al. (1999, hereafter T99). Using the Goddard cumulus ensemble (GCE) model, T99 produced different statistical equilibrium (SE) states by changing the specifications of domain-averag...

Poisson Approximation and the Chen-Stein Method

The Chen-Stein method of Poisson approximation is a powerful tool for computing an error bound when approximating probabilities using the Poisson distribution. In many cases, this bound may be given in terms of first and second moments alone. We present a background of the method and state some fundamental Poisson approximation theorems. The body of this paper is an illustration, through varied...
