Controlling for a variable

In order to truly have a healthy lifestyle, physical activity is a huge factor that can go a long way in benefitting an individual’s lifestyle. In a low-contact intervention done by Aoife Lane, Niamh Murphy, Adrian Bauman, and Tien Chey on inactive Irish women who recently participated in a mass 10km run, they share their results and assessment on the effectiveness of this type of intervention. In this paper, I will summarize the overall basis and findings of the intervention conducted by the…

10/15/15: Today my experiment was approved. I plan to start on the 18th. 10/18/15: Today was the start date of my experiment. Today I performed the bulk of the procedure. First, I gathered all of the materials. Then, I put 147mL of soil in each of the cups and marked each cup. Next, I did level one (100 W) for 30 seconds in the microwave. Coming out of the microwave they were about the same temperature and texture. For level 5 (500 W), the grass seeds were in the microwave for 30 seconds and…

Wealth inequality is a big parts of Americans lives, the problem is that most of us are oblivious to just how large the margin actually is. The United States has the highest degree of wealth inequality among all industrialized countries: On the Gini coefficient index of wealth equality, the United States ranks 93rd out of 134 countries (Central Intelligence Agency, 2009). We see this in policy when it comes to taxation and redistribution. In an ideal situation, the rich would be taxed at the…

What is Downs Syndrome? Downs Syndrome (DS) is the leading form of intellectual and chromosomal deformity (Sherman et al., 2007), affecting approximately 1 in every 700 babies born each year (Parker et al. 2010). The main physiological aspect and cause of DS is the trisomy of chromosome 21 in which the usual paired chromosome becomes a trio (Patterson, 2009). DS also has a clear clinical presentation from birth with a number of distinct symptoms such as (percentages represent number of DS…

would be used in our research because the dependent variable is a categorical variable which is define at two levels (vaccination behaviors). The Logistic Regression model is defined as a statistical analysis that used to measure the risk or odds of an event between the categorical dependent variable (vaccination behaviors in children of age 6 years or less) and one or more independent variables after controlling for number of confounding variables. For logistic regression model there are some…

This research report use a replication data from Clark And Golder (2006) article to test the conditional hypothesis with interaction variable from Duverger’s theory. The argument of his theory state that increasing the number of ethnic groups within a country will only to an increase in the effective number of electoral party if the electoral system is proportional or permissive. • Multivariate Regression Analysis Table~ ef{tab:example1} shows that when there are ethnic groups in a society…

Potential variables in testing distance on golf balls as a result of dimple depth and dimple shape that need to be controlled are the type of golf ball, their construction, the type of golf club, the type of swing used, the tee height, wind, and the turf hit off of. In order to take care of the golf ball construction and type of golf ball, I will do extensive research on each ball. I will conduct my experiment at an indoor golf simulator where they can measure the trajectory of my shot, this…

technical/ farming, after controlling for other variables. Also, less conscientious people tend to work in construction and extraction/ production than service occupations. Only neuroticism has no effect on occupations. Similar patterns can also be seen in gender separated models (analyses not shown), but males with less conscientiousness are apt to work in sales/ office and administrative/ farming also. These findings support my hypothesis 2 that…

required to the management for effectively discharging its functions such as planning, organizing, controlling, directing, co-ordinating and decision making”. He states the important objectives of cost accounting as…

different problems. The horse would choose the answer for the owner’s problem or could not answer the computation problem at all. When scientists have two theories that appear to be equally possible, the parsimony principle is used. This principle encourages scientists to choose the simpler theory with fewer conceptual relationships to be preferred. In addition, scientists have learned to look for facilitated communication cues as was the case in an autism studies by Faith in 1989 and 1993…
