Predictive Discriminant Analysis Versus Logistic Regression For Two-Group Classification Problems In Educational Settings, Alice. Meshbane

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999

The cross-validated classification accuracy of predictive discriminant analysis (PDA) and logistic regression (LR) models was compared for the two-group classification problem. Thirty-four real data sets varying in number of cases, number of predictor variables, degree of group separation, relative group size, and equality of group covariance matrices were employed for the comparison. PDA models were built based on assumptions of multivariate normality and equal covariance matrices, and cases were classified using Tatsuoka's (1988, p. 351) minimum chi square rule. LR models were built using the International Mathematical and Statistical Library (IMSL) subroutine Categorical Generalized Linear Model (CTGLM), available with the …

Remark: Brown V. Board: Revisited, Michael A. Middleton Oct 1995

Remark: Brown V. Board: Revisited, Michael A. Middleton

Faculty Publications

[T]he Negro needs neither segregated schools nor mixed schools. What he needs is Education. What he must remember is that there is no magic, either in mixed schools or in segregated schools. A mixed school with poor and unsympathetic teachers, with hostile public opinion, and no teaching of truth concerning black folk, is bad. A segregated school with ignorant placeholders, inadequate equipment, poor salaries, and wretched housing, is equally bad. Other things being equal, the mixed school is the broader, more natural basis for the education of all youth. It gives wider contacts; it inspires greater self-confidence; and suppresses the …

The Core Values Of Vincentian Education, Louise Sullivan D.C.

Vincentian Studies

The educational endeavors of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, often overshadowed by their other works, were an integral part of their service to the poor.

He taught school during his student days at Toulouse and while he was pastor of Clichy, and he was primarily engaged with the Gondi family as a tutor for the eldest son. He knew that the religious neglect of the poor and the clergy’s ignorance were inextricably …
