Shero, Jeffrey A.; Al Otaiba, Stephanie; Schatschneider, Chris; Hart, Sara A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Many of the analytical models commonly used in educational research often aim to maximize explained variance and identify variable importance within models. These models are useful for understanding general ideas and trends, but give limited insight into the individuals within said models. Data envelopment analysis (DEA), is a method rooted in…

Gagliardi, Annie; Feldman, Naomi H.; Lidz, Jeffrey – Cognitive Science, 2017
Children acquiring languages with noun classes (grammatical gender) have ample statistical information available that characterizes the distribution of nouns into these classes, but their use of this information to classify novel nouns differs from the predictions made by an optimal Bayesian classifier. We use rational analysis to investigate the…

Debons, Anthony; and Others – 1967
A proposed classification system was studied to determine its efficacy to the Air Force Control-Display Area. Based on negative outcomes from a logical assessment of the proposed system, an alternate system was proposed to include the coordinate index concept. Upon development of a thesaurus and an index system for 106 documents on VSTOL/VTOL…
