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 Job Satisfaction in Southern Ohio
This study investigates the relationship between the various characteristics of both an individual and their job as a means to explain their overall satisfaction with that job. We will specifically focus on employed persons ... -
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 ... -
Mountaintop mine restoration: Land ethics and sustainability in the mining landscape
The topic of this paper concerns the Appalachian region and their approach to land reuse after mining operations conclude. The primary location under specific investigation includes the coal fields of West Virginia, a state ... -
Moving Beyond Craft Programs: Encouraging Creative Confidence in Adult Learners
According to a landmark longitudinal study by George Land, creativity peaks in early childhood, and drops drastically as we grow older. Ninety-eight percent of children between the ages of 4 and 5 score at the genius level ... -
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, ... -
Multi-Purpose Motorcycle Trailer (MPMT)
The purpose of the project is to design and modify a trailer to be pulled by a motorcycle that will allow the user to bring up to two dogs with them. The trailer will also be able to be used as a dry storage space for ...
