schoolwork at the same time that you are doing the following activities: Facebook, email, IM, talking, texting.. etc. The results for this study showed that their sample spent the most time searching items online and using Facebook. The hierarchical linear regression to predict overall GPA was significant (Junco et al. 2012). In regards to demographics, males had lower GPAs. In conclusion, ICTs were negatively predictive of overall GPA. It has been suggested that distractions are associated…
paper, Gaskin & Richard (2012) discuss the indirect costs of pain by analyzing various data sets. Specifically, this is a cross-sectional study, and authors examine both health care expenditures and economic burdens by using logistic regression models and generalized linear models. The results indicate that all these pains impact one’s productivity significantly, including headaches in the neck area. Therefore, authors of this paper provide their readers an in-depth understanding of how…
Associations was considered statistically significant at the p<0.05 and 0.01 level. Derivation of Linear regression equations were done to calculate height from both foot lengths and knee height of an individual. The anthropometric measurements and instruments used to measure them are though very simple, practical and non-invasive still there is lack of…
Analytical approach: Regression Independent variable: Calcium levels Dependent variable: Soil pH Hypothesis 2: Calcium levels in the soil affect species richness. Prediction: An increase in the calcium levels in the soil will decrease the species richness. Reasoning: As the calcium levels increase, some plants begin to take advantage of increased calcium levels and outcompete other plants, driving them to extinction. Thereby, decreasing species richness. Analytical approach: Regression…
“We Are Women Hear Us Roar: The Trials and Tribulations of Women in Science throughout History” Some historians believe that the history of women in science was one of linear progression. They feel that women’s opportunities in science in both Europe and America have become increasingly better as times have changed. Even though women have made advancements in the scientific world, there have been setbacks. These setbacks were more prevalent among women of color and lower socioeconomic status,…
Ethics and Economics of Tobacco Farming: A Case Study of Rural Bangladesh Habibur Rahman1 Jani Parvin2 Abstract Tobacco is being dealt as one of the major cash crops which are largely grown in Kushtia, Chittagong Hill, and northern regions of Bangladesh. Actually it is a non‐food plant used as a basic raw material for products that is proved to be harmful for health, environment and society. Tobacco is both dangerous and addictive. Its production thus raises ethical questions. The study is…
AML software is used by financial institutions to detect suspicious transactions and analyze customer data.

AML solutions provide real-time alerts and tools for financial enterprises to automatically report suspicious events to maximize security and operational efficiency. It is becoming essential for financial enterprises to…
kidney disease (DKD). Sixty DKD patients were observed over one year. Creatinine Clearance Rate (CCR) values were 21.0 ± 11.8 mL/min/1.73 m(2) at the start of the study, and 15.7 ± 10.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2) at the end of one year. “The multivariable linear regression analysis indicated salt intake (standardized coefficient: -0.34, P = 0.010) and urinary protein excretion (standardized coefficient: -0.33, P = 0.011) to be factors independently affecting the annual CCR…
statistics are used to make inferences from the data to more general conditions. Most of the major inferential statistics come from a general family of statistical models known as the General Linear Model. This includes the t-test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), regression analysis, and many of the multivariate…
are the customer service ratings, are affected by the data collected during the sampling process. The most sophisticated tool we can use that will give us a true picture of the relationships is the correlation and multiple regression formula. Utilizing the multiple regression tool will give inferences about overall customer service ratings including the following: relationships between customer service ratings, which are the independent variable and sales and customer satisfaction, which is…
