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 …
