Canonical correlation

My hypothesis, that the more introvert a person is the higher would the tendency towards choosing delayed over instant gratification be, could not be prov-en, as shown in Figure 1. Applying Spearman’s rank correlation on my results confirmed the zero correlation between introversion and choosing delayed gratification, thus, the null hy-pothesis holds true. It seems that introversion, or the lack of it, does not impact a human’s choice of gratification. It has to be considered, that…

Iliad. Homer immortalized it and its epic heroes .In this essay, I will examine the similes, that immortalize Homer as a poet, consider the canonization of his work, and end up offering a short poem as an example of how a literary work can become canonical. Homer’s similes characterized that they are long, extended, rich, omniscient, and informative. The Iliad is comprised of more than fifteen thousands of lines, divided in books. He describes about everything in his epic; trees, battleground,…

The Psalter is a book of Holy Scripture that has been both captivating and profitable in my personal journey of faith. Unfortunately they never became much more than a guide for Godly living, comforting words for those in torment or grief as well as songs and poetry that were slightly more anointed than modern hymns and contemporary worship songs. This study of the Psalms has been beneficial as it re-enforced and greatly deepened my understanding of discipleship in the Psalms. It also gave me…

Ever look at crime and question if there is a specific pattern to how crime occurs? Thanks to past records and recent technology we can see that there are specific patterns in crime based on different variables. These variables can vary between the day of the week, time of day, weather patterns, and even the holidays just to name a few. The types of crimes can also change with the variables themselves. For example, violent and property crimes were significantly related to major holidays (Cohn, &…

opinion, this alone merits The Rose’s inclusion in this and all other art history classes. Yet, these statistics do not encapsulate all of The Rose’s mystique, intrigue, and troubled history, nor do they demonstrate the way in which it complicates the canonical survey of art and design that we began the course with/the Western canon of art or how it complements the other modules in this course as they currently exist. I specifically wanted to work with postwar American art of the 1950s because…

Dann (1977) described the travel decision making process two stages or factors; push factors are those that make a person want to travel and it mainly social psychological motives. Then, pull factors are external factors that affect where a person travels to fulfil needs or desires. He suggested that anomie and ego enhancement were the basic underlining reasons for travel.  Followed by Dann’s push and pull motives, Crompton (1979) went further and managed to identified nine motives for travel…

This early work used what are called local methods to calculate related mutations from protein sequences, however suffered from indirect false correlations that result from treating every pair of residues as independent of all alternative pairs.In 2011, a distinct, and this time world applied mathematics approach, demonstrated that predicted coevolved residues were adequate to predict the 3D fold…

In the book of Leviticus, Israelite generation following those died in the dessert was given The Law before they entered the promised land. It is in that Law that we find another clue supporting the likelihood that Noah was sodomized. Both Leviticus 18 and 20 establish laws forbidding sexual interaction between familial relationships. In Leviticus 18:3, God begins by saying, “You shall not do what is done… in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.” The…

It can be said that cinema is a polyhedral phenomenon which is affected by human culture and influences more cultures. Cinema and watching movie in theaters or in another words going to cinema is one of…

– the overall relationship is statistically significant * If statistically significant we can say R^2 is different from 0 (Only continue if the relationship is significant) Step 2 – strength of association * Measured by the multiple correlation coefficient (coefficient of determination), R^2 * Adjusted R^2 takes the number of IV’s and sample size into account (can compare to different samples) * R^2 shows the predictive accuracy (if you can predict DV perfectly R^2 will be…
