The Positive Illusory Bias And Adhd Symptoms: A New Measurement Approach, Sarah A. Fefer Jan 2013

The Positive Illusory Bias And Adhd Symptoms: A New Measurement Approach, Sarah A. Fefer

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of academic and social competence among adolescents with a continuum of inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Past literature suggests that children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) display self-perceptions that are overly positive compared to external indicators of competence, a phenomenon that is referred to as the positive illusory bias (PIB; Owens, Goldfine, Evangelista, Hoza, & Kaiser, 2007). The PIB is well supported among children with ADHD, and recent research suggests that the PIB persists into adolescence. To date, research on the PIB has relied on difference scores (i.e., an indicator of competence is …


An Integrated Screening And Optimization Strategy, Nathaniel Jackson Rohbock Jul 2012

An Integrated Screening And Optimization Strategy, Nathaniel Jackson Rohbock

Theses and Dissertations

Within statistical methods, design of experiments (DOE) is well suited to make good inference from a minimal amount of data. Two types of designs within DOE are screening designs and optimization designs. Traditionally, these approaches have been necessarily separated by a gap between the objectives of each design and the methods available. Despite being so separated, in practice these designs are frequently connected by sequential experimentation. In fact, from the genesis of a project, the experimentor often knows that both designs will be necessary to accomplish his objectives. Due to advances in the understanding of experimental designs with complex aliasing …


After Further Review: An Update On Modeling And Design Strategies For Agricultural Dose-Response Experiments, M. J. Frenzel, W. W. Stroup, E. T. Paparozzi Apr 2010

After Further Review: An Update On Modeling And Design Strategies For Agricultural Dose-Response Experiments, M. J. Frenzel, W. W. Stroup, E. T. Paparozzi

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

Research investigating dose-response relationships is common in agricultural science. This paper is an expansion on previous work by Guo, et al. (2006) motivated by plant nutrition research in horticulture. Plant response to level of nutrient applied is typically sigmoidal, i.e. no response at very low levels, observable response at mid-levels, point-of-diminishing returns and plateau at high levels. Plant scientists need accurate estimates of these response relationships for many reasons, including determining the lower threshold below which plants show deficiency symptoms and the point of diminishing returns, above which excessive doses are economically and environmentally costly. Guo et al. presented models …


A Comparison Of Models And Designs For Experiments With Nonlinear Dose-Response Relationships, Shengjie Guo, W. W. Stroup, E. T. Paparozzi, M. E. Conley Apr 2006

A Comparison Of Models And Designs For Experiments With Nonlinear Dose-Response Relationships, Shengjie Guo, W. W. Stroup, E. T. Paparozzi, M. E. Conley

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

Research investigating dose-response relationship is common in agricultural science. Animal response to drug dose and plant response to amount of irrigation, pesticide, or fertilizer are familiar examples. This paper is motivated by plant nutrition research in horticulture. Plant response to level of nutrient applied is typically sigmoidal, i.e. no response at very low levels, observable response at mid-levels, point-of-diminishing returns and plateau at high levels. Plant scientists need accurate estimates of these response relationships 1) to determine lower threshold below which plants show deficiency symptoms and 2) to determine upper point-of-diminishing returns, above which excessive doses are economically and environmentally …


Determination Of The Inoculation Frequency, Timing Of Inoculation And Dose Of A Bacterial Ruminal Inoculant For Acidosis Prevention In Feedlot Cattle, J. F. Boucher, W. J. Smolenski, J. A. Robinson Apr 1994

Determination Of The Inoculation Frequency, Timing Of Inoculation And Dose Of A Bacterial Ruminal Inoculant For Acidosis Prevention In Feedlot Cattle, J. F. Boucher, W. J. Smolenski, J. A. Robinson

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

We are evaluating the efficacy of a ruminal bacterial inoculant (Megasphaera elsdenii 407 A) for prevention of acute acidosis in grain-fed cattle. As a part of this process, we examined the effects of inoculation frequency, timing of inoculation and dose of 407 A for prevention of acute acidosis in ruminally fistulated cattle. Three levels of frequency, two levels of timing and three doses were considered, however, a complete 3x2x3 factorial study was not run because of resource constraints. The study was conducted in two separate trials. The first was designed as a 3x2 factorial experiment with inoculation frequency and timing …
