Power Method Distributions Through Conventional Moments And L-Moments, Flaviu A. Hodis, Todd C. Headrick, Yanyan Sheng
Power Method Distributions Through Conventional Moments And L-Moments, Flaviu A. Hodis, Todd C. Headrick, Yanyan Sheng
Publications
This paper develops two families of power method (PM) distributions based on polynomial transformations of the (1) Uniform, (2) Triangular, (3) Normal, (4) D-Logistic, and (5) Logistic distributions. One family is developed in the context of conventional method of moments and the other family is derived through the method of L-moments. As such, each of the five conventional moment-based PM classes has an analogous L-moment based class. A primary focus of the development is on PM polynomial transformations of order three. Specifically, systems of equations are derived for computing polynomial coefficients for user specified values of skew ( …
Characterizing Tukey H And Hh-Distributions Through L-Moments And The L-Correlation, Todd C. Headrick, Mohan D. Pant
Characterizing Tukey H And Hh-Distributions Through L-Moments And The L-Correlation, Todd C. Headrick, Mohan D. Pant
Publications
This paper introduces the Tukey family of symmetric h and asymmetric hh-distributions in the contexts of univariate L-moments and the L-correlation. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal distributions with controlled degrees of L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlations. The procedure can be applied in a variety of settings such as modeling events (e.g., risk analysis, extreme events) and Monte Carlo or simulation studies. Further, it is demonstrated that estimates of L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlation are substantially superior to conventional product-moment estimates of skew, kurtosis, and Pearson correlation in terms …
A Doubling Technique For The Power Method Transformations, Mohan D. Pant, Todd C. Headrick
A Doubling Technique For The Power Method Transformations, Mohan D. Pant, Todd C. Headrick
Publications
Power method polynomials are used for simulating non-normal distributions with specified product moments or L-moments. The power method is capable of producing distributions with extreme values of skew (L-skew) and kurtosis (L-kurtosis). However, these distributions can be extremely peaked and thus not representative of real-world data. To obviate this problem, two families of distributions are introduced based on a doubling technique with symmetric standard normal and logistic power method distributions. The primary focus of the methodology is in the context of L-moment theory. As such, L-moment based systems of equations are derived for …
A Logistic L-Moment-Based Analog For The Tukey G-H, G, H, And H-H System Of Distributions, Todd C. Headrick, Mohan D. Pant
A Logistic L-Moment-Based Analog For The Tukey G-H, G, H, And H-H System Of Distributions, Todd C. Headrick, Mohan D. Pant
Publications
This paper introduces a standard logistic L-moment-based system of distributions. The proposed system is an analog to the standard normal conventional moment-based Tukey g-h, g, h, and h-h system of distributions. The system also consists of four classes of distributions and is referred to as (i) asymmetric γ-κ, (ii) log-logistic γ, (iii) symmetric κ, and (iv) asymmetric κL-κR. The system can be used in a variety of settings such as simulation or modeling events—most notably when heavytailed distributions are of interest. A procedure is also described for simulating γ-κ, γ, κ, and κL …
High Performance Gibbs Sampling For Irtmodels Using Row-Wise Decomposition, Yanyan Sheng, Mona Rahimi
High Performance Gibbs Sampling For Irtmodels Using Row-Wise Decomposition, Yanyan Sheng, Mona Rahimi
Publications
Item response theory (IRT) is a popular approach used for addressing statistical problems in psychometrics as well as in other fields. The fully Bayesian approach for estimating IRT models is computationally expensive. This limits the use of the procedure in real applications. In an effort to reduce the execution time, a previous study shows that high performance computing provides a solution by achieving a considerable speedup via the use of multiple processors. Given the high data dependencies in a single Markov chain for IRT models, it is not possible to avoid communication overhead among processors. This study is to reduce …

The Diffusion Of Politically Expert Opinion Within And Among Groups, Rober Huckfeldt, Matthew T. Pietryka, Jack L. Reilly
The Diffusion Of Politically Expert Opinion Within And Among Groups, Rober Huckfeldt, Matthew T. Pietryka, Jack L. Reilly
2012
This paper employs a small group experiment to study the process of political influence within social networks. Each experimental session involves seven individuals, where privately obtained information is costly but communication within the group is free. Hence, individuals form prior judgments regarding candidates based on public and private information before updating their priors through a process of social communication. In general, individuals select expert informants with political preferences similar to their own, and we consider the dynamic implications for individual and group preferences. In particular, we address the diffusion of information based on a DeGroot model which provides a dynamic …
The Implications Of Fictional Media For Political Beliefs, Ken Mulligan, Philip Habel
The Implications Of Fictional Media For Political Beliefs, Ken Mulligan, Philip Habel
Working Papers
Most research on media effects in political science deals with the news media or political campaigns. While some recent work looks at the effects of soft news on beliefs and opinions, little attention has been paid to the potential consequences of media that are fictional. Although viewers typically watch fiction for entertainment, the themes, plots, and dialogue may nevertheless influence their thoughts about politics. This paper examines the effects of fiction on political beliefs. We do this in the context of an experimental design, where subjects in the treatment group watched the outlandish movie, Wag the Dog. The results show …
Jockin' Jay-Z: A Praxis-Oriented Autoethnography Towards Possiblizing Change In Black Male Performativity, Bryant A. Payne
Jockin' Jay-Z: A Praxis-Oriented Autoethnography Towards Possiblizing Change In Black Male Performativity, Bryant A. Payne
Research Papers
This paper strives to understand how my own conceptions (reflexivity) and embodiment (engagement) of a particular rapper, Jay-Z, contributes towards my subjectivity and art. My research answers, “What does my own experience and embodiment of Jay-Z tell me about my own black masculinity and art in the hip-hop generation?” To answer this question, I use what Toyosaki calls “praxis-oriented autoethnography.” I show what my relationship with Jay-Z tells me about my black masculinity, culture, and becoming within the hip-hop generation.

Research Papers
This research examines the identity struggle that the Honduran immigrant Alejandra Paniagua, a character from El regreso de una wetback, and many Hondurans deal with when trying to make a life in the U.S.. It also analyzes topics such as national identity, ethnic loyalty, the fiction-reality lifestyle in the United States, and many more aspects proposed in the book by Denia Nelson. The writer exposes how poverty, mainly, forces Latin Americans to travel abroad in order to find a job that can provide their families the income they need to survive.

The Need For Specialized Programs For Lgbt Individuals In Substance Abuse Treatment, Erin E. Mooney
The Need For Specialized Programs For Lgbt Individuals In Substance Abuse Treatment, Erin E. Mooney
Research Papers
Specialized substance abuse treatment programs for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals are limited. Specialized treatment programs offer unique and tailored services to ‘special populations’ in order to provide effective treatment. The services offered in these programs are proven to be especially helpful and effective for LGBT individuals. Many researchers have suggested that LGBT-Specific substance abuse programs have better treatment outcomes for LGBT individuals than mainstream treatment programs. LGBT individuals have been said to have much higher rates of substance abuse than their heterosexual counterparts. They also face discrimination, prejudice, negative attitudes and behavior, and unique life experiences that …
Have Household Exposure Claims Washed Out In Illinois?: Nelson V. Aurora Equipment Co., 909 N.E.2d 931 (Ill. App. Ct. 2009), Kelly M. Murray
Have Household Exposure Claims Washed Out In Illinois?: Nelson V. Aurora Equipment Co., 909 N.E.2d 931 (Ill. App. Ct. 2009), Kelly M. Murray
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Asbestos litigation is the longest-running mass tort litigation in the history of the United States. Law suits concerning asbestos exposure emerged during the 1970s, after it was conclusively proven that asbestos exposure caused serious health conditions. The diseases caused by exposure to asbestos, however, typically do not manifest themselves for twenty to forty years after the initial exposure. Due to the extended latency period, more plaintiffs emerge as time goes on, and litigation tactics must evolve to accommodate new classes of plaintiffs. Nelson v. Aurora Equipment Co. marks one of the most recent trends in this toxic tort litigation: …
Patternicity And Persuasion: Evolutionary Biology As A Bridge Between Economic And Narrative Analysis In The Law, James D. Ridgway
Patternicity And Persuasion: Evolutionary Biology As A Bridge Between Economic And Narrative Analysis In The Law, James D. Ridgway
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Although economic and narrative analyses are clearly useful in exploring legal issues, their foundations and persuasive power have not been thoroughly investigated. Evolutionary biology can now explain how human beings instinctively approach legal problems, and what features from economic and narrative analysis are rooted in the information processing functions of the brain. As a result, the most effective aspects of each can be synthesized into a new tool, the archetypal narratives of human interaction. This article proposes that evolutionary biology indicates that human beings process legal arguments using three archetypal narratives: (1) the story of cooperation, which describes maximizing the …
Putting Students At The Center Of Legal Education: How An Emphasis On Outcome Measures In The Aba Standards For Approval Of Law Schools Might Transform The Educational Experience Of Law Students, Janet W. Fisher
Southern Illinois University Law Journal
Legal education has been notably absent from the assessment movement that has been underway in American higher education for over twenty-five years. Accreditors of virtually every other area of professional education in the United States have adopted assessment of educational outcomes as part of their accreditation process. Legal education is poised to join this movement as the American Bar Association considers revisions to its Standards for Approval of Law Schools that would emphasize educational outcomes.
This Article explores how the assessment of educational outcomes might be implemented in legal education at the institutional, programmatic and course levels. The Article focuses …
Common Crowd Dynamics: Shaping Behavioral Intention Models, Marcel Bouchard
Common Crowd Dynamics: Shaping Behavioral Intention Models, Marcel Bouchard
Theses
As the human population grows, so too does the need to understand human behavior. One particularly important aspect of human behavior is how it changes within conglomerations of people, i.e. crowds. In this thesis, a method for modeling crowd behavior is proposed. This method draws inspiration from the concept of behavioral intention and the related forces of attitudes, influences, and social norms. These topics are first defined and detailed, followed by a survey of related research. Next, the model is presented and adapted to three common crowd dynamics, each stressing a different component of behavioral intention. Observations are made about …
The Exploration Of The Relationship Between Guessing And Latent Ability In Irt Models, Song Gao
The Exploration Of The Relationship Between Guessing And Latent Ability In Irt Models, Song Gao
Dissertations
This study explored the relationship between successful guessing and latent ability in IRT models. A new IRT model was developed with a guessing function integrating probability of guessing an item correctly with the examinee's ability and the item parameters. The conventional 3PL IRT model was compared with the new 2PL-Guessing model on parameter estimation using the Monte Carlo method. SAS program was used to implement the data simulation and the maximum likelihood estimation. Compared with the traditional 3PL model, the new model should reflect: a) the maximum probability of guessing should not be more than 0.5, even for the highest …
On The Interpenetration Of Nature And Spirit: A Loving Relationship With The Earth And Our Natural Environment, Christina Marie Gould
On The Interpenetration Of Nature And Spirit: A Loving Relationship With The Earth And Our Natural Environment, Christina Marie Gould
Dissertations
In this dissertation I examine our relationship with the Earth and our natural environment by clarifying what it means to be human. I do this by looking at the interpenetration of spheres of being or philosophical anthropology to articulate how the human being is the dynamic meeting point of life and spirit. In this interpenetration of life and spirit, the task of the human being as loving flashes forth. On the basis of this task, it is possible to realize a loving relationship with the Earth and our natural environment that is not based on domination or use. To understand …

Identifying Competencies Of Aoda Clinical Supervisors For Integration Into Rehabilitation Counselor Training Curriculum: A Delphi Study, Marissa Mckee
Dissertations
This study preliminarily identified clinical supervision competencies needed for alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) clinical supervisors for integration into rehabilitation counselor training (RCT) curriculum. The Delphi method via LimeSurvey® was utilized to identify competencies specific to AODA clinical supervision. A panel of six experts in RCT and AODA clinical supervision completed five rounds of data collection beginning with an open-ended question. Consensus and stability of responses were calculated following Rounds 2-5 of data collection. Panelist fatigue resulted in data collection being discontinued after Round 5, prior to a consensus or stability of responses being reached. A total of 115 …
Anatonical Correlates Of Executive Functioning In Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder And Developmental Dyslexia, Jacqueline Marie Klaver
Anatonical Correlates Of Executive Functioning In Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder And Developmental Dyslexia, Jacqueline Marie Klaver
Theses
The purpose of this study was to explore the brain-behavior relationship of the frontostriatal circuit to executive functioning (EF) in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and developmental dyslexia. It was expected that the volume and asymmetry of the caudate nucleus head and body would be related to ADHD; the relationship between caudate volume and asymmetry and dyslexia was exploratory. It also was expected that children with ADHD and children with dyslexia would be impaired on measures of EF compared to those without each disorder. Lastly, it was predicted that verbal and spatial working memory would mediate the relationship between the …
