Yunxiao Chen; Chengcheng Li; Jing Ouyang; Gongjun Xu – Grantee Submission, 2023
We consider the statistical inference for noisy incomplete binary (or 1-bit) matrix. Despite the importance of uncertainty quantification to matrix completion, most of the categorical matrix completion literature focuses on point estimation and prediction. This paper moves one step further toward the statistical inference for binary matrix…

Meyen, Sascha; Sigg, Dorothee M. B.; von Luxburg, Ulrike; Franz, Volker H. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Background: It has repeatedly been reported that, when making decisions under uncertainty, groups outperform individuals. Real groups are often replaced by simulated groups: Instead of performing an actual group discussion, individual responses are aggregated by a numerical computation. While studies have typically used unweighted majority voting…

Jeremy Stoddard; Jais Brohinsky; Jason A. Chen; Derek Behnke; M. Shane Tutwiler; Janice Robbins – Grantee Submission, 2025
This paper explores how PurpleState, a political simulation designed to foster skills and knowledge for informed civic participation, develops students' abilities to counter or resist the effects of political polarization and partisanship. Throughout the simulation, which has been implemented in Virginia and Wisconsin, students are asked to…

Schnurr, Matthew A.; De Santo, Elizabeth M.; Green, Amanda D.; Taylor, Alanna – Journal of Geography, 2015
This article investigates the particular mechanisms through which a role-play simulation impacts student perceptions of knowledge acquisition. Longitudinal data were mobilized in the form of quantitative and qualitative surveys to examine whether the simulation succeeded in increasing knowledge around both content and skills. It then delves deeper…

Rauh, Jonathan – Journal of Political Science Education, 2014
Active learning, including in-class debates, is used in social science classrooms as a means of improving meaning and increasing understanding of complex materials. However, in-class debates do not fully satisfy all aspects of experiential learning because students do not get to experience the results of multifaceted concepts, such as strategic…

Newman, Dianne L.; Bull, Kay S. – Evaluation Review, 1985
The relationship between voting habits and parental status on the need for evaluative data before supporting a controversial school program was examined. Parents who voted most frequently wanted the most information and less immediately gave support. Nonvoting nonparents were similar. Voting nonparents were more likely to provide immediate…
