Statistical theory

Plan of Action Over the past several months, I have gotten to know my case study student Imani. I have learned a great deal about her so far, but I continue to learn new things each day I attend field experience. I have learned that she does tend to complain about assignments, but she will complete anything that is handed to her. She does care about her grades and she becomes upset if she receives a grade lower than her standards. I believe she has her standards set around a “B” average but I…

Max GladeCS228 Written ReportFor my final project I decided to expand my KNN-Learner to be able to recognizemovement and gestures that occur over time. I started off working with the ASLalphabet but came to the conclusion that not many signs are dynamic, so I trained myKNN classifier to recognize RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council) hand signalswhich mostly require hand movement. On top of requiring the ability to track movementthe KNN classifier and my code needed to be able to handle…

involve past events, which cannot be tested. Take, for example, the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Biological Evolution as it pertains to the past; both are theories that explain all of the facts so far gathered from the past, but cannot be verified as absolute truth, since we cannot go back to test them. More and more data will be gathered on each to either support or disprove them. The key force for change in a theory is, of course, the scientific method. A scientific law, said Karl Popper, the…

(Harrington, Bosch, Schools, Beel-Bates, Anderson) Yes statistical significance was presented and insignificant. The results were not compelling findings. Many of the test scores did not show which testing style was more appropriate to teach with. Limitations are constricting to studies and this one holds a large…

Magic. A somewhat purposeless and unpredictable power that is believed to alter the outcome of events in a person’s life. We may all believe in some kind of magic, especially when we feel we need it the most such as during dangerous situations, even though they are not proven to increase our probability of a specified event. George Gmelch and Richard Felsen released an article pertaining this subject. The article, entitled “Can a Lucky Charm Get You Through Organic Chemistry”, gave the general…

This finding is in conformity with theories and in line with findings by Hulya Ulku, (2007) and Yanrui Wu, (2012) that there is positive relationship between R&D expenditure and economic growth and increase in R&D expenditure will eventually induce economic growth. The coefficient of high-tech…

Condominiums for Sale The cost or real estate can differ from region to region and with size and quality. One factor that greatly effects the sale of a piece of property with a view. Such is the data that will be analyzed herein. Can the data support the fact that there will be buyers willing to pay more for a condominium with a view? Consequently, would a comparable home without a view that is considerably less expensive actually take longer to sell? Overview of the Condominiums for sale The…

Out of all, the burned area showed a significant increase in longleaf pines, (Pinus Palustris) and a decrease in woody species, compared to the unburned area. In fact, it jumped from a frequency of 15 in the unburned area to a frequency of 50; which is two times that of the burned area (see figure 1). Compared to all other species of tree, Pinus Palustris experienced the most increase of frequency. Whereas, Pinus Clausa or sand pine, was only present in the burned area showing that it was a…

Behavioural Ecology Comparison between the roaring rate of the red deer in Richmond Park and in wildlife R ed deer males use a deep guttural vocalization (roar) to attract females. Previous studies have correlated high roaring rates to higher reproductive success. In this study, we investigated the influence of living in a limited area such as Richmond Park (RP), with direct human contact in roaring rate of red deer. The roaring rate of three males living in RP were calculated and compared to…

In schools where students fail to achieve state achievement standards in reading and math does instruction geared towards social-emotional intelligence support academic goals? If so, what if any approaches demonstrate documented success in the classroom environment? What place do the practices of Eastern religions have in a secular classroom? The answers to these questions are revealed through an exploration of mindfulness curriculum. The social-emotional stresses of poverty are thoroughly…
