The Design And Evaluation Of Interactivities In A Digital Library, Muniram Budhu, Anita Coleman
Faculty Publications
The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil engineering—geotechnical (soil), rock, and water engineering (GROW). The concept of interactivities guides the design, development, and evaluation efforts of the GROW digital collection. This article describes the salient features of GROW, defines and discusses interactivities as an emerging, integral part of teaching and …

Preference And Perceived Danger In Field/Forest Settings, Thomas R. Herzog, Glenn E. Kutzli
Preference And Perceived Danger In Field/Forest Settings, Thomas R. Herzog, Glenn E. Kutzli
Peer Reviewed Articles
The authors investigated preference, perceived danger, and fear for a sample of 70 field/forest settings. Predictor variables included perception-based variables (visual access, penetration,movement ease), information-based variables (mystery, concealment, refuge), and variables thought to intervene between concealment and danger (entrapment, rearview concern). All variables were rated by independent groups. Danger and fear were strongly positively correlated for these settings, but preference and danger had a more modest negative correlation. Factor analysis of the strongly inter-correlated predictor variables yielded two factors, interpreted as Visibility and Locomotor Access. Both factors were positive predictors of preference and negative predictors of danger. Further analyses suggested …

On The Estimation Of Binomial Success Probability With Zero Occurrence In Sample, Mehdi Razzaghi
On The Estimation Of Binomial Success Probability With Zero Occurrence In Sample, Mehdi Razzaghi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The problem of estimating the probability of a rare event when the sample shows no incidence of the event is considered. Several methodologies based on various statistical techniques are described and their relative performances are investigated. A decision theoretic approach for estimation of response probability when the sample contains zero responses is examined in depth. The properties of each method are discussed and an example from teratology is used to provide illustration and to demonstrate the results.
Null Distribution Of The Likelihood Ratio Statistic For Feed-Forward Neural Networks, Douglas Landsittel, Harshinder Singh, Vincent C. Arena, Stewart J. Anderson
Null Distribution Of The Likelihood Ratio Statistic For Feed-Forward Neural Networks, Douglas Landsittel, Harshinder Singh, Vincent C. Arena, Stewart J. Anderson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Despite recent publications exploring model complexity with modern regression methods, their dimensionality is rarely quantified in practice and the distributions of related test statistics are not well characterized. Through a simulation study, we describe the null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for several different feed-forward neural network models.

A Simulation Study Of The Impact Of Forecast Recovery For Control Charts Applied To Arma Processes, John N. Dyer, B. Michael Adams, Michael D. Conerly
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Forecast-based schemes are often used to monitor autocorrelated processes, but the resulting forecast recovery has a significant effect on the performance of control charts. This article describes forecast recovery for autocorrelated processes, and the resulting simulation study is used to explain the performance of control charts applied to forecast errors.

Accounting For Non-Independent Observations In 2×2 Tables, With Application To Correcting For Family Clustering In Exposure-Risk Relationship Studies, Leslie A. Kalsih, Katherine A. Riester, Stuart J. Pocock
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Participants in epidemiologic studies may not represent statistically independent observations. We consider modifications to conventional analyses of 2×2 tables, including Fisher’s exact test and confidence intervals, to account for correlated observations in this setting. An example is provided, assessing the robustness of conclusions from a published analysis.
Combining Quantum Mechanical Calculations And A Χ^2 Fit In A Potential Energy Function For The Co_2 + O^+ Reaction, Ellen F. Sawilowsky
Combining Quantum Mechanical Calculations And A Χ^2 Fit In A Potential Energy Function For The Co_2 + O^+ Reaction, Ellen F. Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In order to compute a highly accurate statistical rate constant for the CO2 + O+ reaction, it is necessary to first calculate the potential energy of the system at many different geometric configurations. Quantum mechanical calculations are very time-consuming, making it difficult to obtain a sufficient number to allow for accurate interpolation. The number of quantum mechanical calculations required can be significantly reduced by using known relations in classical physics to calculate energy for configurations where the oxygen is relatively far from the CO2. A chi-squared fit to quantum mechanical points is obtained for these configurations, and the resulting …
Type I Error Rates For Rank-Based Tests Of Homogeneity Of Slopes, Alan J. Klockars, Tim P. Moses
Type I Error Rates For Rank-Based Tests Of Homogeneity Of Slopes, Alan J. Klockars, Tim P. Moses
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The purpose of this study was to explicate two issues concerning the standard and rank based test of homogeneity of slopes. Two alternative ranking methods intended to address nonnormality and additive treatment effect patterns were developed and compared in terms of their ability to control Type I error. The results replicated previous findings of inflated Type I error rates with leptokurtic curves and with rank based tests with some patterns of additive treatment effects. The new nonparametric procedures generally control Type I error although they were slightly inflated with skewed distributions.
Exploration Of Distributions Of Ratio Of Partial Sum Of Sample Eigenvalues When All Population Eigenvalues Are The Same, Moonseong Heo
Exploration Of Distributions Of Ratio Of Partial Sum Of Sample Eigenvalues When All Population Eigenvalues Are The Same, Moonseong Heo
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This paper explores empirically the first two moments of ratio of the partial sum of the first two sample eigenvalues to the sum of all eigenvalues when the population eigenvalues of a covariance matrix are all the same. Estimation of the first two moments can be practically crucial in assessing non-randomness of observed patterns on planar graphical displays based on lower rank approximations of data matrices. For derivation of the moments, exact and large sample asymptotic distributions of the sample ratios are reviewed but neither can be applicable to derivation of the moments. Therefore, I rely on simulations, where data …
On Distribution Function Estimation Using Double Ranked Set Samples With Application, Walid A. Abu-Dayyeh, Hani M. Samawi, Lara A. Bani-Hani
On Distribution Function Estimation Using Double Ranked Set Samples With Application, Walid A. Abu-Dayyeh, Hani M. Samawi, Lara A. Bani-Hani
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
As a variation of ranked set sampling (RSS); double ranked set sampling (DRSS) was introduced by Al-Saleh and Al-Kadiri (2000), and it has been used only for estimating the mean of the population. In this paper DRSS will be used for estimating the distribution function (cdf). The efficiency of the proposed estimators will be obtained when ranking is perfect. Some inference on the distribution function will be drawn based on Kolomgrov-Smirnov statistic. It will be shown that using DRSS will increase the efficiency in this case.

Chronic Disease Data And Analysis: Current State Of The Field, Ralph D'Agostino Sr., Lisa M. Sullivan
Chronic Disease Data And Analysis: Current State Of The Field, Ralph D'Agostino Sr., Lisa M. Sullivan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Chronic disease usually spans years of a person’s lifetime and includes a disease free period, a preclinical, or latent period, where there are few overt signs of disease, a clinical period where the disease manifests and is eventually diagnosed, and a follow-up period where the disease might progress steadily or remain stable. It is often of interest to investigate the relationship between risk factors measured at a point in time (usually during the disease free or preclinical period), and the development of disease at some future point (e.g., 10 years later). We outline some popular designs for the identification of …
