The Plausibility of Cross-National Comparisons of Internet Use Types

In studies that compare Internet use between groups, factor analysis is often used to create broader categories of use. Composite variables are constructed using a factor structure that fits the overall data. This approach overlooks tests that show whether the constructs are valid and whether items relate similarly to the general constructs in different countries. In this study World Internet P...

A Model of Plausibility

Plausibility has been implicated as playing a critical role in many cognitive phenomena from comprehension to problem solving. Yet, across cognitive science, plausibility is usually treated as an operationalized variable or metric rather than being explained or studied in itself. This article describes a new cognitive model of plausibility, the Plausibility Analysis Model (PAM), which is aimed ...

Stochastic and Dependence Comparisons Between Extreme Order Statistics in the Case of Proportional Reversed Hazard Model

‎Independent random‎ ‎variables $Y_{1},ldots‎ ,‎Y_{n}$ belongs to the‎ ‎proportional reversed hazard rate (PRHR) model with‎ ‎proportionality parameters $lambda_1,...,lambda_n$‎, ‎if‎ ‎$Y_{k}sim G^{lambda _{k}}(x)$‎, ‎for $k=1,...,n$‎, ‎where $G$ is an‎ ‎absolutely continuous distribution function‎. ‎In this paper we compare‎ ‎the smallest order‎ ‎statistics‎, ‎the sample ranges and th...
