Regression

This part discusses the specifications of model to investigate the correlation between FDI and human development. Based on the Sharma and Gani (2014) paper as a basic guideline as well as many previous theoretical and empirical studies, an empirical model is built to estimate any role of FDI in affecting human development. Therefore, this study specifies the general model as follows: HDIit = αit + β1FDIGDPit + β2Aidit + β3Tradeit + β4Govit + β5Ruleit + εit…

The six are repression, projection, displacement, sublimation, denial, and regression. Repression, the most important mechanism was the first Freud discovered. “Repression is an unconscious mechanism employed by the ego to keep disturbing or threatening thoughts from becoming conscious” (Defense Mechanisms). Things that are repressed…

There is no doubt that Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois both have comparable aspirations in regards to progression for African Americans. Washington’s views and efforts are so prominent and respected for that era, due to the fact that he was able to accomplish a great deal as an African American. Through his achievements and belief system, he became the conduit for blacks and whites to communicate and exist together to some degree. Even though Mr. Washington has been held in high…

The association between Binge Drinking and Depression among Early Adults Background Numerous research on the association between binge drinking behavior and depression, and shows that the relationship exists but the causality between them is unclear. Defined by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2010), drinking 5 or more alcoholic drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days is considered as binge drinking. Depression is one of the negative…

this article titled, “Branching habit and the allocation of reproductive resources in conifers” also used methods like Corner’s rule to analyze conifer’s reproductive structures (ie. whether large-diameter branches bear large cones) and used simple regression models to show the association between branch diameter and cone volume of conifers. This approach is similar to the main paper of study. In both articles, both branch diameter and cone measurements were made to determine whether the…

months of age, when the vaccination was distributed, and children that were never vaccinated. These results showed no temporal association between the onset of autism within one or two years after being vaccinated with MMR. In addition, developmental regression was not clustered in the months after vaccination. The data from these results does not support the connection between MMR and autism and if an association was to occur, it was so rare it could not be…

Regression analysis was then performed looking at health-related quality of life (HRQOL). They found after adjusting for age, gender, and time since transplantation that sexuality accounted for the most variance in life satisfaction (16.5% of variance), followed by headaches (15.7%), altered body shape (13.6%), and swelling of hands and feet (13%). A further study from the same center followed a cohort of patients posttransplant longitudinally over 1 year. On regression analyses, again…

and Songer measured the dependent variable by simply using the numbers 1 and 0. The number 1 meant that the appeals court decision was reviewed by the Supreme Court while 0 signified that the decision was not reviewed. The authors used a logistic regression to calculate the statistical significance of each independent variable. Bowie and Songer also held formal and informal interviews with 28 appeals court judges from various Courts of Appeals Circuits. During these interviews the judges were…

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The yellow wallpaper” centers around domestic abjection, regression and in some ways, female castration. This short story is in large part biographical. Charlotte Gilman is diagnosed with a nervous breakdown, and Charlotte Gilman was told that she must never write again. Gilman started to feel like she was losing her mind without writing, so she wrote “The yellow wallpaper” as an act of catharsis and also to demonstrate that an idle mind is not necessarily…
