Bayesian statistics

descriptive statistics were used well in the Coffman article Descriptive statistics are is by researchers to describe, compare, and to characterize a relationship. (Polit, 2010) “Descriptive Statistics are used to present quantitative and qualitative descriptions in a manageable form” (Trochim, 2006). Coffman study on the the effects of tangible social support and depression on diabetes self efficacy in Hispanic older adults, demonstrated appropiate and good use of descriptive statistics in…

METHODS Participants A total of one hundred and fifty office workers (75 women and 75 men) at the age of 25 years old will be the subject of this experiment. In order for the experiment to be fair, equal number of male and female of the same age are tested and all of them will be asked to wear the exact same uniform made out of the same material which is made of nylon specially made and distributed to all participants. The participants will then be divided into five groups. One group consists of…

I have selected and answered seven topic questions required for this paper. First, I discuss the difference between archaeology and pseudoarcheology. Next, I uncover the five forms of archaeological data, and define ethnocentrism. Later, I talk about what cultural resource management means and what it is used for. Then, I used my notes to describe the importance of mapping and data keeping. Following was a list of four subsistence forms and what they are. Lastly, I unravel the cultural evolution…

The components of the red beads experiment include a box of 4,000 wooden beads, a paddle with fifty bead size depressions, a second smaller box for mixing the beads, six willing workers, two inspectors who made independent counts, a chief inspector who verifies the counts, an accountant who records the counts and a customer who will not accept red beads. The job is to produce white beads and the standard for each worker is fifty white beads per day. When you play the game, each player uses a…

sex, drugs, and other things children my age should not have a clue about. I soon realized that there were many factors in such influenced such behavior; the structure needed for children, the building blocks needed to instruct structure, and the statistics that prove that structure is needed. The structure in children should be intuited from the beginning of their life. Every little moment in a child’s life affects their future and their own decisions. For example, in “Welding with…

The article I choose was "Effectiveness of an e-learning tool for education on pressure ulcer evaluation" by Morente, Morales-Asencio and Veredas. The purpose of this article was to determine if e-learning modules would be more effective in teaching the assessment and treatment of pressure ulcers than the traditional classroom methods. Pressure ulcers are serious preventable clinical complications that can lead to pain, infection, hospitalization, and even death (Kelly & Isted, 2011).…

Aim 3. Validation of transcriptional drivers and therapeutic combinations in CRPC. Rationale and strategy: To experimentally validate computationally predicted drivers of CRPC, we will use loss- and gain-of-function approaches for in vitro (i.e., cell lines) and in vivo (i.e., xenograft models) experimental validation to determine whether these genes are essential for drug-resistance. Computationally inferred drug combinations will be validated for their effect on MRs’ activity and ability to…

Variable choice: Medications are an important part of patient care. It has been shown that as the number of medications, the frequency of taking medications or the complexity of the prescription increases the more difficulty patients have in complying with the therapy. Compliance with medications is extremely important as medication non-compliance; misuse and drug-drug interactions may cause admission and/or readmission to the hospital, increased length of hospital stay and may lead to…

Introduction Movement speed of Stentor is dependent upon the temperature of water in the environment surrounding Stentor. Stentor is a member of the Phylum Ciliophora. Stentor are ciliate unicellular protozoa which is one the largest singled celled organisms (Webb, 2007) Stentor are found in waters that are calm usually near the surface on different plants (Webb, 2007). Stentor use cilia to consume food and movement. Stentor are ectothermic organisms, which means that Stentor body temperature…

Results Yasumuro and Ikeda (2011) discovered statistically significant differences between the poor and enriched environments through exploratory behavior, various body patterns, and reactions to stimulus. The duration of exploratory behavior witnessed in the octopuses in the poor environment were notably less frequent than the standard or enriched environments, while the enriched environments displayed the most exploration of all three environments. Variations of exploratory behavior were seen…
