Although it has long been acknowledged that interviewers play a crucial role in the survey data collection process, there is little research concerning interviewer effects on how respondents perceive the interview. We investigate whether interviewer effects exist regarding how much respondents report having enjoyed the interview and whether these…

Previous work has demonstrated similarities and differences between aerial and terrestrial image viewing. Aerial scene categorization, a pivotal visual processing task for gathering geoinformation, heavily depends on rotation-invariant information. Aerial image-centered research has revealed effects of low-level features on performance of various…

Methods of network meta-analysis (NMA) can be classified as arm-based and contrast-based approaches. There are several arm-based approaches, and some of these have been criticized because they recover inter-study information and hence do not obey the principle of concurrent control. Here, we point out that recovery of inter-study information in…

Sport analytics remains a growing area in the sport industry. As such, the demand for skills and knowledge in this area has grown. This demand includes off-field data, such as marketing trends, as well as financial data related to sport organizations. There has been a trickle-down effect in sport management (and other) education programs to teach…

Purpose: This study explored how the SchoolWeavers Tool could enhance South Africa's Whole-School Evaluation process and support South African school leaders in creating school learning ecosystems that facilitate learner success, offering a diagnostic assessment tool enabling educational leaders to assess school culture from multiple perspectives.…

This study presents several multivariate Generalizability theory designs for analyzing automatic item-generated (AIG) based test forms. The study used real data to illustrate the analysis procedure and discuss practical considerations. We collected the data from two groups of students, each group receiving a different form generated by AIG. A…

Monitoring the fidelity with which implementers implement behavioral procedures is important, but individuals tasked with monitoring fidelity may have received little training. As a result, their data may be affected by variations in implementers' performance, such as the frequency of fidelity errors. To determine the extent to which the frequency…

Estimating prescription medicine use is challenging due to recall bias associated with surveys and coverage bias in administrative data. This study assesses how making operational improvements and combining both survey and administrative data sources can increase data quality on filled prescriptions. We use data from the Medicare Current…

Systematic reviews are a time-consuming yet effective approach to understanding research trends. While researchers have investigated how to speed up the process of screening studies for potential inclusion, few have focused on to what extent we can use algorithms to extract data instead of human coders. In this study, we explore to what extent…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations increased virtual programming and adoption of online technologies. This article outlines the University of California assessment of tools for gathering data on participant learning outcomes from virtual educational programs. After assessing colleagues' experiences and searching for new web applications,…

Background: Content validity is a key measurement property that should be considered when selecting or reviewing a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). In the field of communication disorders, there are several PROMs available, most of which are disease specific. It is unknown what the quality of the content validity of these PROMs is. Aims:…

School-based citizen science (SBCS) provides opportunities for teachers to purposefully integrate mathematics and science content and practices throughout the year. With SBCS projects, students have countless opportunities to apply their mathematics skills within the context of science data collection and sense making. This article details how a…

Accurate data extraction is a key component of evidence synthesis and critical to valid results. The advent of publicly available large language models (LLMs) has generated interest in these tools for evidence synthesis and created uncertainty about the choice of LLM. We compare the performance of two widely available LLMs (Claude 2 and GPT-4) for…

Detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks in wireless networks remains a critical challenge due to their deceptive nature and potential to compromise network integrity. This paper proposes a novel approach to wormhole detection by leveraging propagation delay analysis between network nodes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on signature-based…

There is a growing need to empirically evaluate the quality of online instructional interventions at scale. In response, some online learning platforms have begun to implement rapid A/B testing of instructional interventions. In these scenarios, students participate in series of randomized experiments that evaluate problem-level interventions in…
