Is Corequisite Developmental Math Effective At East Tennessee State University?, Christine Padden
Is Corequisite Developmental Math Effective At East Tennessee State University?, Christine Padden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis looks at the corequisite developmental math program at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) and compares the effectiveness to the previous developmental math program by comparing the student outcomes in MATH 1530. MATH 1530 is a non-calculus based statistic and probability course that satisfies most majors’ general education math requirements. ETSU sees approximately 1,000 students a year pass through MATH 1530 which is around 6.7% of the total enrollment at ETSU[9]. We are interested in the last five years of the developmental math program before it was changed to corequisite developmental math and the first five years of corequisite …
A Multi-Indexed Logistic Model For Time Series, Xiang Liu
A Multi-Indexed Logistic Model For Time Series, Xiang Liu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, we explore a multi-indexed logistic regression (MILR) model, with particular emphasis given to its application to time series. MILR includes simple logistic regression (SLR) as a special case, and the hope is that it will in some instances also produce significantly better results. To motivate the development of MILR, we consider its application to the analysis of both simulated sine wave data and stock data. We looked at well-studied SLR and its application in the analysis of time series data. Using a more sophisticated representation of sequential data, we then detail the implementation of MILR. We compare …
A Comparative Study Between The Standards Of Learning And In-Class Grades., Randetta Lynn Fuller
A Comparative Study Between The Standards Of Learning And In-Class Grades., Randetta Lynn Fuller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
We examined the Standards of Learning mathematics scores and in-class grades for a rural Virginia county public school system. We looked at third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades as well as Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry classes. The purpose of this was to determine whether or not there is a strong correlation between the Standards of Learning and the students' in-class grades. Had a strong enough correlation between the Standards of Learning and in-class grades been found we would have used only the in-class grades to predict the Standard of Learning test scores. However, we found that the …
