ANALYZING SCHOOL EFFECTS: ANCOVA WITH A FALLIBLE COVARIATE1 (GROWTH STUDY PAPER #32)

The Study of Consensus with Fallible Communication of Cloud Computing

The reliability of the distributed system has been an important topic of research. Consensus protocols, which allow the correct nodes to agree on a common value, have been brought up to aid the reliable execution of tasks. In previous works, fully connected networks, generalized connected networks or multicasting network with fallible components were proposed to solve the consensus problem. How...

ANOVA , ANCOVA and Mixed Effects Models Week

A grouping or blocking of observations can be achieved by using categorical or dummy variables. Examples of categorical variables include gender, country of origin, job title and experimental treatment. This should be contrasted with ordinal variables, such as age class, highest degree attained or a score on a 5-point scale with values comprised between strongly agree and strongly disagree. The...

IZA Discussion Paper No. 32

Work or Retirement? Exit Routes for Norwegian Elderly ∗ In this paper we analyse early retirement pathways for Norwegian male and female workers. We apply a multinomial logit model to a data set covering more than 10 500 employees, ages 56-61, in 1989. The aim is to analyse the transition to different destinations, i.e. disability pension, unemployment benefits, out of the labour force, in the ...

Reference Fallible Endgame Play

A reference model of fallible endgame play is defined in terms of a spectrum of endgame players whose play ranges in competence from random to optimal choice of move. They may be used as suitable practice partners, to differentiate between otherwise equi-optimal moves, to promote or expedite a result, to assess an opponent, to run Monte Carlo simulations, and to identify the difficulty of a pos...
