 There are five major parts required to turn this program into a practical data analysis tool: (1) methods for deciding which terms in the ANOVA decomposition to include (model selection), (2) methods for choosing good values of the smoothing parameters λ α, λ αβ,..., (3) methods for making confidence statements concerning the estimate, (4) numerical algorithms for the calculations and, finally, (5) public software. In this paper we carry out this program, relying on earlier work and filling in important gaps. The overall scheme is applied to Bernoulli data from the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy to model the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy as a function of glycosylated hemoglobin, duration of diabetes and body mass index. It is believed that the results have wide practical application to the analysis of data from large epidemiologic studies.That’s the official narrative in Thailand, but look deeper, the Chinese there were forced to change their names, Chinese schools were closed. There was state violence in Bangkok’s Chinatown in 1945 and 1975

And the Statement “the Jews of the East”? That was from a Thai king, and no it wasn’t meant as a compliment but to spite the Chinese like how the Europeans spite the Jews back then.

Re: Kidnapping, there are rich natives and Espanyols but they were not targeted by kidnappers. The kidnapping spree was a racialized crime

On Thai-Chinese: ([https://medium.com/@hijadelsol/finding-my-identity-as-a-thai-chinese-2f58645a5e20](https://medium.com/@hijadelsol/finding-my-identity-as-a-thai-chinese-2f58645a5e20))

What Ifind it interesting though that people who are like 1/8th Chinese in Thailand seem to identify somewhat as Chinese like the writer in Medium.

Sa Pilipinas, kapag 1/4 Chinese, wala na ang pagkaChinese nila. LolI was browsing on reddit and came across this great post on tuning your advertising on Facebook.

\section{Introduction}
Energy spectra of the black hole candidates (BHCs) have mainly
two spectral states: high/soft state and low/hard state. 
It has been established that the high/soft state happens at
comparatively high mass accretion rate, and there is an optically thick
and geometrically thin accretion disk which extends to three
Schwarzschild radii from the central black hole. However, the origin of the 
low/hard state has not been clarified yet. 
X--ray spectra in the low/hard states  are well represented by 
a power law with a photon index of 1.4$\sim$1.7 (Tanaka $\&$ Shibazaki 1996), 
The energy cutoff of the spectrum ($E_{\rm{cut}}$) is seen at $\sim$100 keV by 
past gamma-ray observations (Grove et al. 1998). 
It is believed that there is a high temperature corona inside the standard disk, and
radiation is produced by inverse Compton scattering from a part of soft
photons via optically thin plasma with very high temperature around the
black hole. 
Indeed, the broadband spectra of many black hole binaries in the
hard state are successfully modeled by thermal Comptonization model
(Dove et al. 1996, Pountanen $\&$ Svensson 1996), although location and
geometry of the corona are still debated. \\
 GX 339--4 was found by the X--ray satellite OSO--7 in 1971 (Markert et
al. 1973). Since it was similar to Cygnus X--1 in terms of the feature of
spectrum and short time variations, it was suggested as a black hole
candidate (Samimi et al. 1979). This source is one of the best studied
BHCs at X rays and gamma rays by various instruments: Ginga/LAC (Ueda,
Ebisawa and Done 1994), CGRO/OSSE(Grabelsky et al. 1995, Smith et
al. 1996), ASCA (Wilms et al. 1998), RXTE (Smith et al. 1996), and
Beppo--SAX (Corongiu et al. 2003). GX 339--4 exihited the five different
spectral states in the previous outbursts (Tanaka $\&$ Shibazaki 1996),
but often stayed in the low/hard state. All the spectra in the low/hard
state are roughly explained by a power law with an exponential cutoff or
thermal Comptonization model, requiring some modification of reflection
component, soft excess and iron-K lines. Detailed broadband analysis in
2-1000 keV was done using the Ginga, RXTE and OSSE data in 1991 and 1996
observations by Zdziarski et al. (1999) and Wardzi$\acute{n}$ski et
al. (2002). Wardzi$\acute{n}$ski et al. (2002) concluded that the four
spectra in the hard state have very similar intrinsic X-ray slope of photon
index $\cong$1.75. On the other hand, they found a possible correlation that
the high-energy cutoff energy decreases with luminosity
increasing. Zdziarski et al. (2004) studied the long term behaviour
using 16-years light curves by compiling the GINGA/ASM, CGRO/BATSE, and
RXTE/ASM data, and also found that the electron temperature depends on
the luminosity by showing a correlation between the BATSE flux and
photon index in the 20--160 keV range.

As mentioned above, many authors have studied some observations during
individual outbursts of this source. Hence, the correlation among various
parameters (high energy cutoff, photon index, and so on) are poorly
understood. Thus, in order to clarify the radiation mechanism of the
low/hard state, we first performed a systematic study of detailed
correlations among spectral parameters using the large public RXTE data
archives.  \\
In this paper, we report on the results of the analysis of 171 RXTE data sets 
of GX 339--4 in the low/hard state during its 1996-2005 outburst. In
Section 2, we describe the procedure of analysis. In section 3, we
present the results and discussions. 

\section{Observations and Data Reduction}
GX 339--4 has been observed over $\sim$10 years by RXTE satellite. 
Figure $\ref{lc_1996_2005}$ shows the 1.5--12 keV RXTE/ASM light
curve. GX 339--4 underwent three outbursts in 1997, 2002, and 2004 during 
the past 10 years. According to McClintock $\&$ Remillard (2004), it is known 
 that HR2 in the low/hard state shows $\sim$ 1.5 where HR2 is the 
ratio of ASM counts in 5--12 keV to counts in 3--5 keV
