"Have You Written A Ford, Lately?": Gender, Genre, And The Film Adaptations Of Dorothy Johnson's Western Literature, Walter C. Metz

Publications

This essay studies the role Dorothy Johnson, a mid-century female author of American Western stories, had on the development of the film Western, particularly given that she wrote the story on which John Ford's canonical The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence (1962) was based.

Learner Articulation As Interactional Achievement: Studying The Conversation Of Gesture, Timothy Koschmann, Curtis Lebaron

Publications

Studied under a variety of names (e.g., self-explanation, self-directed and generative summarization), it is now a well-accepted finding that the process of learner articulation contributes to new learning. While prior research has focused on measuring the effects of various forms of articulation on learning outcomes, this report focuses on how such articulation maybe accomplished, moment to moment and turn by turn. Specifically, it documents some of the ways in which participants use their bodies and, in particular, their hands while displaying what they know. It presents fine-grained analyses of three videotaped fragments of naturally occurring interaction among medical teachers and …

Inconsistency Of Resampling Algorithms For High Breakdown Regression Estimators And A New Algorithm, Douglas M. Hawkins, David J. Olive

Articles and Preprints

Since high breakdown estimators are impractical to compute exactly in large samples, approximate algorithms are used. The algorithm generally produces an estimator with a lower consistency rate and breakdown value than the exact theoretical estimator. This discrepancy grows with the sample size, with the implication that huge computations are needed for good approximations in large high-dimensioned samples

The workhorse for HBE has been the ‘elemental set’, or ‘basic resampling’ algorithm. This turns out to be completely ineffective in high dimensions with high levels of contamination. However, enriching it with a “concentration” step turns it into a method that is able …

Applications Of Robust Distances For Regression, David J. Olive

Articles and Preprints

The DD plot, introduced by Rousseeuw and Van Driessen (1999), is a plot of classical vs robust Mahalanobis distances: MD_i vs RD_i. The DD plot can be used as a diagnostic for multivariate normality and elliptical symmetry, and to assess the success of numerical transformations towards elliptical symmetry. In the regression context, many procedures can be adversely affected if strong nonlinearities are present in the predictors. Even if strong nonlinearities are present, the robust distances can be used to help visualize important regression models such as generalized linear models.

Play Behavior In Infant Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla) At The Lincoln Park Zoo, Suma Mallavarapu

Honors Theses

An ethological investigation was made on a group of western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at the Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago. Focal animal sampling and all-occurrences sampling were used to collect data during the months of June and July 2000. Qualitative observations were made of the general behavioral patterns of the group, which included feeding and drinking behavior, resting, sleeping, nest construction, grooming behavior, group behavior, dominance hierarchies, zoo-keeper and public oriented behavior, and behavior in novel stimuli situations. Except for female dominance hierarchies, all behavioral patterns were found to be similar to those reported for feral gorillas. …
