Mixture modeling of data with multiple partial right-censoring levels
In this paper, a new flexible approach to modeling data with multiple partial right-censoring points is proposed. This method is based on finite mixture models, flexible tool to model heterogeneity in data. A general ... -
Modeling Frequency and Severity of Claims with the Zero-Inflated Generalized Cluster-Weighted Models
In this paper, we propose two important extensions to cluster-weighted models (CWMs). First, we extend CWMs to have generalized cluster-weighted models (GCWMs) by allowing modeling of non-Gaussian distribution of the ... -
Modeling Impact of Hurricane Damages on Income Distribution in the Coastal U.S.
This article examines the impact of catastrophic hurricane events on income distribution in hurricane states in the United States. Media claims have been made and the perception created that the most damaging impact ... -
Modeling Impact of Natural Hazard- Induced Disasters on Income Distribution in the United States
Economic damage due to hurricane activities has been shown to impact income inequality in the coastal states of the United States. We consider 17 other natural hazards, in addition to hurricanes, that affected the ... -
Modeling loss data using mixtures of distributions
In this paper, we propose an alternative approach for flexible modeling of heavy tailed, skewed insurance loss data exhibiting multimodality, such as the well-known data set on Danish Fire losses. Our approach is based on ... -
Modeling veterans’ health benefit grants using the expectation maximization algorithm
A novel application of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is proposed for modeling rightcensored multiple regression. Parameter estimates, variability assessment, and model selection are summarized in a multiple ... -
Modulation of Hsp70 Interactions with CHIP and HOP Co‐chaperones via Phosphorylation
Hsp70 plays a vital role in protein homeostasis. It associates with co-chaperones HOP and CHIP to promote protein refolding or degradative pathways, respectively. Phosphorylation of an Hsp70 threonine residue near the ... -
“MOOCing” On Up? Experiences of an Elusive Course Completer
In this article, I apply autoethnography to recount and analyze my experiences as a recent enrollee and course completer of a massive open online course (MOOC). Research surrounding MOOCs heretofore has been predominantly ... -
Moral perception through aesthetics: Engaging imaginations in educational ethics
Moral "seeing" - the ability to take in the particulars of a moral encounter, and to interpret and imagine its implications - is analogous to aesthetic perception. This article defends and explores the use of aesthetic ... -
Motivated by us But Not by Them: Group Membership Influences the Impact of Counterfactual Thinking on Behavioral Intentions Read More: https://guilfordjournals.com/doi/10.1521/soco.2016.34.4.3
Counterfactual thoughts about “what might have been” allow individuals to improve future outcomes based on insights from past events. Previous research has examined how counterfactuals about the self facilitate future ... -
Moving Out of the Cellar: A New (?) Existentialism for a Future without Teachers
We employ some of the most recognizable ideas from the existentialism of Sartre and Kierkegaard as a way to understand the current “teacher (human) condition.” In so doing we examine key existentialist concepts—fear and ... -
Multi-measure investigation of the divergence of implicit and explicit consumer evaluations
(2011-02-07)This research extends findings that implicit and explicit attitudes may diverge to a consumer evaluation task using multiple measures of implicit evaluation: Evaluative Movement Assessment (EMA; Brendl, Markman, & Messner, ... -
A multilevel dyadic study of the impact of retirement on self-rated health: Does retirement predict worse health in married couples?
Objectives: This study examined the effects of retirement on self-rated health for married couples, using interdependence and social stratification theoretical frameworks. Methods: Dyadic multilevel modeling of data (N = ... -
Myoglobin (MBN) PyMOL Session File
PyMOL session file to accompany the "How to use PyMOL" video within “Using PyMOL to Explore the Effects of pH on Non-Covalent Interactions between Immunoglobulin G and Protein A: A Guided-Inquiry Biochemistry Activity”. ... -
Mystery Plots: Motivating Algebraic Model Building with Dynamic Sketches
(2011-03-14)In this paper, we explore the use of dynamic geometry software (DGS) as a medium for changing student and teacher interactions (and attitudes) with functions. We o er three examples of sketches that may be used to encourage ... -
Neighborhood Engagement, Dogs, and Life Satisfaction in Older Adulthood
Objectives: This study examined the relationships between dog ownership, dog walking, and the emotional bond with a dog to neighborhood engagement and life satisfaction among those over age 50. Methods: Using data from ...
