Regression analysis

Fisman and Svensson found some evidence that corruption influences growth at the micro level. They have used the dataset which contains information on the estimated bribe payments of the firms in Uganda. Their dataset contains information from the Ugandan Industrial Enterprise Survey about 243 firms in 5 locations and 14 industries. As it was discussed before, corruption has a very secretive and uncertain nature, and therefore there have been implemented different methods in order to increase…

Successful organisations ensure that they maintain an environment which enables the full potential of their people to be realised. They also ensure that they align their staff management objectives with the organisation’s objectives. Training is an important activity undertaken to ensure employees at all levels have the necessary skills to carry out their roles effectively and to ensure the achievement of the organisations objectives. Of fundamental importance is the identification of the…

A. Mumford-Shah segmentation functional Mumford and Shah proposed this segmentation method based on a variational platform. Let Ω certainly be a bounded open amount of region R in addition to u_0 is preliminary image data. Segmentation of this kind of image into homogeneous items is completed via the search for a pair of components (u, K), where K is a number of contours, and u is usually a piecewise smooth approximation of u_0.The minimization of an energy functional (u, K) in a way that u…

2.3 The Interpretation of the Symbolism (4-5) ד כִּי יָמִים רַבִּים, יֵשְׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--אֵין מֶלֶךְ וְאֵין שָׂר, וְאֵין זֶבַח וְאֵין מַצֵּבָה; וְאֵין אֵפוֹד, וּתְרָפִים. ה אַחַר, יָשֻׁבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּבִקְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם, וְאֵת דָּוִיד מַלְכָּם; וּפָחֲדוּ אֶל-יְהוָה וְאֶל-טוּבוֹ, בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים. {פ} 4 For the Israelites shall remain many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward the…

The fundamental theorem of Calculus: The fundamental theorem of calculus asserts the interrelated properties of integration and differentiation. It says that a function when differentiated, can be brought back by integrating (anti-derivative) or a function when integrated, can be brought back by differentiation. First theorem: Let f be a function that is integrable on [a,x] for each x in [a,b], then let c be such that a≤c≤b and define a new function A as follows, A(x)=∫_c^x▒f(x)dt, if a≤x≤b.…

Seatwork: A. Convert the following rotation to degrees and revolution. 1. 1/3 rotation : counterclockwise 2. 4/5 rotation : clockwise 3. 13/3 rotation clockwise B. Change each radian measure to degree measure and sketch the angles in standard position. 1. / 3 rad 2. -3 / 4 C. Determine which of the following angles are quadrantal angles. 1. 850 = __________________ 3. 5600 = ___________________ 2. 2700 =…

2.2 The method At the searcher will do the searching process as follows: I. Start at the origin and search the cell number 1 and then number 2, 3. Now, the first revolution is completed. If the target not found, then go to step II. II. Since, the target is not detected, then the searcher will do the second revolution which contain the cells number 4 to number 14 as in Fig.1(a). And so on until the hole will detect. Assuming that the target is randomly located in the space at the…

My average adjacent length was about 4.5% less than the correct length, so it concludes that the illusion had a small impact on my perception of line. 2A: How is this illusion related to depth perception? When we see the two lines to be at different distance, our brain try to figure out that which is near to our vision by showing the visible distance. So the line which form near edge of an exterior corner, we think that this line looks shorter…

The first part of the experiment required one to trace the light rays going through a converging and diverging lenses. By setting up the light source towards the end of the paper and placing the lenses about 5 cm in front of the light the focal distances were found to be 14 cm for the converging lens and -5.5cm for the diverging lens. These focal distances theoretically make since because the converging lens causes the light rays to combine in front of the lens making it positive and the…

In conducting a national analysis of the hypothesis on the effectiveness of the strictness of drunk driving laws, a one-tailed correlation test will be conducted to determine if a negative correlation exists between the two variables. Before conducting the actual statistical analysis, a scatter chart was made in order to help visualize the relationship between the variable. As can be seen in the scatter plot, there is indeed a negative relationship between the variables. However, the…
