イチローSP


「子供に、楽しいから野球選手になってくれとは、僕はとても言えない」
そんな思いを抱えながらもひたすら戦い続けるイチロー
純粋にすごいと思う。

ところどころ、見ていて涙が出てきた。



たとえ結果が出なくても、難しいボールに挑み続ける。
調子が落ちてきても甘いボールをまとうとしない。
「瞬間的に結果を出すために、自分が貫いてきたもの、信じているものを崩してしまうということは、
自分が信じてきたものを否定する、自分の行き方も否定してしまう。
姿勢というものが変わってしまうと、もうそこにいる意味がない。」


最高のパフォーマンスを出すためには、
極力妥協を排除する必要があるが、
人間は弱いから少しでも緩めるとどんどん緩んでいく。
そこをこらえるために、
必死で守るべき軸を必死で守っていかないといけない。


ちょっとゆるゆるの日々が続いていたが、
ここら辺で締めていきたい。



「これまでやってきた時間で得たものを、胸を張ってまだ言えない。これだとまだ表現することができない。
人としての成熟期はもっともっと先にあって、そのときに選手でいたい。
体が元気なときに選手でいて、それが終わってから何かを知るのではさびしい。選手であるときにそれをつかみたい。」


毎日必死で戦い続けてきた人間の言葉と覚悟、精神というのは、
やっぱり違うし、
自分もそんな人間でありたいと思う。



ちなみに、
こちらの動画も好き。

Lee's bounds in Stata

Missing Dataの問題を扱うスタンダードな誘導系の方法は、

1. IVを使うHeckman-typeのアプローチ
2. Observablesを使って観測確率を推定してその逆数でウェイト付けするInverse Probability Weighting
3. ManskiやLeeのBound analysis

に大別できると思うけれど、
LeeのBound analysisのStata commandがあることを発見。


http://www.stata.com/meeting/germany12/abstracts/desug12_tauchmann.pdf


昨年末のカンファレンスで
HoustonのElain LiuがLee's boundも使っていたけれど、
そうか、きっとこのプログラムを使ったのか。
自分のプロジェクトで使おうと思ってコードを書こうとLeeの論文を見たら、
Monotonicity Conditionが自分のデータの場合にはきつそうだったので断念したのだけど、
既存のプログラムがあったら、とりあえず推計してみる気にはなる。

Third European Research Conference on Microfinance

Third European Research Conference on Microfinance


http://www.uia.no/en/div/conferences/microfinance_conference



The Norwegian Centre for Microfinance Research will host the conference that aims to be the world's most important meeting place of academics involved in microfinance research.

The conference is a three-day event that includes plenary panel discussions and parallel sessions during which research papers will be presented and discussed. The panel discussion will include invited renowned speakers with an academic and practical background.
