Linear regression

In order to determine if there is a relationship between foreign aid and African coup susceptibility, one must first operationalize these variables as measurements. With regard to the coup d’état, successful coups must first be distinguished from unsuccessful coups and plotted coups (Lunde 1991). According to Jackman (1978), a successful coup occurs when the incumbent political regime is spontaneously and illegally replaced by an insurgent group, usually without physically participating in the…

My purpose for applying to the PhD program at [University Name] is to develop my skills as both a researcher and instructor in the field of international relations, but I can’t say that I’ve always known I wanted to get a PhD in political science or even that I was certain of my decision once I began my graduate studies. In reality, the path that led me to pursue a PhD has been a long and somewhat unexpected one. I began my undergraduate career as a biochemistry major, but by the end of my first…

From fig 2.2, it can be seen that the linear residuals are relatively far from the base line which is an indication of non-proportionality in the system. The standard error of this process is 2342 and correlation coefficient R2 is 0.8651 which is an unacceptable correlation(Fogel et al. 1984). However, when the 4th and 5th points on the linear residuals are arbitrarily removed, standard error reduces to 1877 and a better value of R2=0.9027…

1. I’m now a Master’s student in Ophthalmology major. My thesis research will be “Risk of Infection from Swimming with Contact Lens On.” Objective: The objective of this study is to know the risk of eye infection from swimming with contact lens on. Justification: Although the risks that are associated with extensive wearing of contact lenses are well known, there has not been a sufficient explanation of the cause of swimming with contact lens on increases the risk of infection. This research…

LITERATURE REVIEW Another article to be discussed is titled: The McKeown Thesis: A Historical Controversy and its Enduring Influence. McKeown’s thesis states that advancements in the medical field were not the reason for the population increase in the industrialized world but rather improvements in things such as the standard of living – especially diet and nutritional health which brought about better economic conditions and resulted in an population increase (McKeown, 2002). The objective of…

Chalfin and associates determined that controlling for murder, arrest rates, capital convictions relative to murders, and executions relative to lagged convictions are problematic for research involving the “rational offender model” because of possible changes in enforcement and policy. From state to state there are variations in the time from conviction to execution, with some executions being overturned. These factors can affect an individual’s decision to commit murder. Following this line…

based on self-reported GPAs. The results in the study provide further evidence for the requirement to examine intrinsic motivation as a mediator of the strength of parenting styles as being a predictor of academic performance.The study focused on the linear relationships whereas, future research may need to emphasise reciprocal and bidirectional relationships by exploring the possibility of academic performance or academic achievement as a predictor of parenting styles and the other variables in…

Fig. 2(B) shows the Nyquist plot of the EIS of the EFC system using the hydrolysate. The results of the EIS for the hydrolysates showed a similar tendency of impedance. The semicircle portion at high frequency and linear portion (Warburg impedance) at a low frequency were observed. The resistance of charge-transfer (Rct) and the electrolyte resistance (Rs) could be calculated using the diameter of the semicircle in the plot and the intercept on the real axis of the…

with HCl and part 2 reacted KOH and HCl. In parts 2, 3, and 5, 2.0 M of KOH, HCl, and NaOH were each separately diluted with water, respectively. After collecting the data, the goal of the lab was to then calculate the enthalpy change by using linear regression models on Excel and the appropriate equations relating to enthalpy…

the Transtheoretical model of change (TTM) to implement my intervention, I made this decision because it seems to be most practical intervention that could have the most effective results for me as it is a fluid mythology that allows for error and regression. Additionally, there has been substantial evidence that supports the effectiveness of TTM as a motivational tool for this kind of…
