The bell curve.
E very illness is a story, and Annie Page’s began with the kinds of small, unexceptional details that mean nothing until seen in hindsight. Like the fact that, when she was a baby, her father sometimes called her Little Potato Chip, because her skin tasted salty when he kissed her.

متن کاملThe NELS Curve: Replicating The Bell Curve
This study uses the National Educational Longitudinal Survey of 1988 (NELS) to replicate both the analysis in The Bell Curve and that of several of its previous replications. We examine the relative importance of test scores and family background in predicting dropping out of high school, starting college, arrests, and out-of-wedlock fertility. Our results relax several arbitrary assumptions ma...
متن کاملSuicide, psychiatric malpractice, and the bell curve.
The long-recognized "risk factors" of suicide are so fraught with false positives and negatives as to be nearly valueless in anticipating and preventing suicide or suicide attempts in actual clinical practice. Suicide is no more or less foreseeable in the few patients who attempt self-harm than in the many who make no such attempts. Finally, it is difficult to distinguish retrospectively the qu...
متن کاملBias-corrected estimators of scalar skew normal
One problem of skew normal model is the difficulty in estimating the shape parameter, for which the maximum likelihood estimate may be infinite when sample size is moderate. The existing estimators suffer from large bias even for moderate size samples. In this paper, we proposed five estimators of the shape parameter for a scalar skew normal model, either by bias correction method or by solving...
متن کاملBell Curve Based Resource Scheduling in LTE
Scheduling is one of important methods in maximizing data rate and fairness among multiple users. It is very evident that communication system has less number of radio resources in comparison to high number of users. Scheduling method provides best way to allocate minimum resources to maximum users with satisfying all possible communication requirements. The paper discusses a bell curve based r...
