Missing Step Count Data? Step Away From the Expectation–Maximization Algorithm

Step Away from the Pool

Lane Kenworthy University of Arizona [email protected] administer the “treatment” to some observations. Then we compare the degree of change in both (or all, if there are more than two) groups. With observational data we don’t administer the treatment, but in other respects the process is similar. Especially useful is that this design takes constant countryspecific differences (“country ...

PEDRO JOSÉ SEBASTIÃO This is the second number of CeFEMA newsletter, where we aim at reporting the most recent research activities of CeFEMA to a broad community, be it academic or entrepreneurial, which might be interested in materials science and condensed matter physics. In this number are presented a theoretical work of CeFEMA researchers on systems away from equilibrium and works related t...

Experimental Determination of Effectiveness of an Individual Information-Centered Approach in Recovering Step-Count Missing Data

Missing values are a common phenomenon in physical activity research, which has a negative impact on the quality of the data collected. The purpose of this study was to determine empirically the effectiveness of an individual information-centered (IIcentered) approach in recovering step-count missing values by comparing the performance of the II-centered approach with the traditional group info...

Assessment analytics: The missing step

Assessment is a central element of the learning process; it defines what students consider important and measures their personal achievements across all phases of professional development. It gives institutions a valuable feedback about the success of realizing program goals and institution objectives.1 E-assessments are special types of assessments that use technology for management or deliver...
