Numeracy: Open-Access Publishing To Reduce The Cost Of Scholarly Journals, Todd A. Chavez
Numeracy
Each fiscal year, as academic librarians throughout the United States prepare materials budgets, a national “groan” ensues. Regardless of their format (i.e. print or digital), serial subscription costs are escalating, in the process impacting the role of the library in advancing scholarly communication . This paper examines some of the economic issues concerning open-access (OA) journal publishing. The importance of quantitative literacy is suggested for librarians and academics seeking a better understanding of alternatives to traditional journal subscription models and to anyone considering ventures into OA publishing. Quantitative literacy is essential for managing alternatives to the rising cost of scholarly …

Are Statistics Labs Worth The Effort?--Comparison Of Introductory Statistics Courses Using Different Teaching Methods, Jose H. Guardiola, Nadina Duran-Hutchings, Hassan Elsalloukh
Numeracy
This paper compares the academic performance of students in three similar elementary statistics courses taught by the same instructor, but with the lab component differing among the three. One course is traditionally taught without a lab component; the second with a lab component using scenarios and an extensive use of technology, but without explicit coordination between lab and lecture; and the third using a lab component with an extensive use of technology that carefully coordinates the lab with the lecture. Extensive use of technology means, in this context, using Minitab software in the lab section, doing homework and quizzes using …

Pemodelan Regresi Zero Inflated Poisson (Aplikasi Pada Data Pekerja Seks Komersial Di Klinik Reproduksi Putat Jaya Surabaya), Alia Lestari, Purhadi Purhadi, Madu Ratna
PYTHAGORAS : Jurnal Matematika dan Pendidikan Matematika
Dalam menganalisis hubungan antara beberapa variabel, terdapat sejumlah fenomena dimana variabel responsnya berbentuk biner ataupun berbentuk diskrit. Fenomena dimana variabel responsnya berbentuk diskrit tapi tidak biner, biasanya dianalisis dengan Regresi Poisson. Namun demikian dalam kasus tertentu sering dihadapi suatu peristiwa yang sangat jarang terjadi atau responsnya mempunyai data nol yang sangat banyak, sehingga analisis dengan pendekatan distribusi Poisson seringkali tidak lagi memberikan kesimpulan yang tepat.
Pada penelitian ini akan dikaji suatu metode untuk mengatasi banyaknya respons bernilai nol yang telah dikembangkan oleh Lambert (1992) yaitu Regresi Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP). Estimasi parameter model ini menggunakan Algoritma EM dan pengujian hipotesisnya menggunakan …

Paradoxical Perceptions Of Problems Associated With Unconventional Natural Gas Development, Gene L. Theodori
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Data collected in a general population survey from a random sample of individuals in two counties located in the Barnett Shale region of Texas were used to empirically explore potentially problematic issues associated with unconventional natural gas development. Moderate support was found for the hypothesis that individuals residing in places with diverse levels of energy development exhibit dissimilar perceptions of potentially problematic issues. The results indicate residents of the county where the natural gas industry was more mature (Wise County) were significantly more likely than residents of the county where the natural gas industry was less established (Johnson County) to …
